This Encounter Between a Speeding Rally Car and a Dog Will Have You Screaming

Still, even somebody who has been overseeing rally competitions for all his life would find himself powerless against a wandering stray dog. It's not like you can wave your flag at it and hope it'll get away from the track. Reasoning won't help either. A bag of treats would work wonders, but who is clever enough to stuff his pockets with sausage the morning before the race?

At the end of the day, there's a limit to what you can do. Besides, going out on the track would also put you in harm's way, so there are moments when doing nothing is actually the right course of action. It's called damage control and it's all one can do in certain situations.

We're not saying that's necessarily what's happening here. Even if you don't speak Spanish, you can hear these men being absolutely zero concerned about the welfare of the stray dog that had was walking down the dirt track.

They knew a car was coming, and yet nobody tried to whoosh the canine away. There is one guy who yells that there's a dog in the way, but we sure hope he wasn't trying to convey the message to the oncoming driver, because that would be hilarious. Most likely, he was talking to that guy in uniform who jumps in after the car went by.

But we wouldn't be too harsh on these guys. You can never know what your reactions would be in a critical situation like this until you're faced with something similar. You might think you would have done things differently, only to find out you'd freeze just the same when the real deal happens. Besides, everything turned out OK in the end.

It all happened during a rally stage in Bolivia. The runaway dog didn't catch the reason why all those men were sitting beside the track, so it walked down as if they all just wanted to clear the way for it. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and soon enough the real reason they sat there started to make itself heard.

The dog was still oblivious, so it continued its walk. When it realized its mistake, it was all too late and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo was just a few meters behind, on full throttle. Fortunately, something almost miraculous happened, and the mutt lived to bark another day. Trust us, as hard as it might seem at some point, continue watching the clip, it's 100 percent gore-free.
