A TikTok clip of popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed being chased by a dog on the streets of Denmark is going viral on social media after viewers reshared it on other platforms such as X. The incident occurred while he was IRL streaming from Copenhagen on July 18.
Regular viewers of IShowSpeed know that he has a penchant for barking at people and has also done it to dogs. Earlier this year in May, the YouTuber met a dog while streaming from Seoul, South Korea, and the pet in question got quite agitated and bit him when he got too close. While it was nothing too serious, the streamer had to seek some medical help.
While streaming in Copenhagen, IShowSpeed did a similar thing after encountering a pitbull on the street. After he let out his iconic bark, the dog started chasing him and people around him were treated to a show of the YouTuber running away flanked by his security detail. A TikToker with the username @gabba.abba filmed it from their angle, and the short clip has gone viral garnering millions of views within hours.
Watch: IShowSpeed barks at a pitbull while streaming from Copenhagen, Denmark
The 19-year-old YouTube streamer has been doing a Europe tour over the last couple of weeks after he got a house in Germany to watch the UEFA Euros. While his favorite team Portugal was knocked out in the quarter-final, IShowSpeed seems to be making the most out of his visit, having traveled to several European countries including Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Norway, Spain, and more.
The YouTuber usually visits the capital city of the countries he goes to and despite not officially announcing it beforehand, his fame as an online content creator means fans start milling around streaming sniping him wherever he travels. He even got mobbed during a broadcast from Oslo.
The Denmark trip was quite eventful as well, with IShowSpeed showing off his athletic abilities by doing a backflip into a canal for the viewers. Another incident that has gone viral since is when he chose to bark at a dog while roaming around. While the barking bit is quite common, he probably did not anticipate that the pitbull would react and start chasing him down the street.
The streamer could be heard panicking as he started running and shouted:
"Hell nah, hell nah! Oh sh*t!"
IShowSpeed ran away so fast that the feed for the official broadcast cut off as the streamer had left his cameraman behind with his bodyguards in tow.
