The man's video spread very widely through WhatsApp groups on Monday (September 5), which prompted the Central Traffic Unit to intervene, track him and arrest him.
"The suspect acted recklessly and inappropriately by letting his dog hold the steering wheel, endangering road users," the police said in a statement.
