'Unusual' passenger hitches a ride to McDonald's drive-thru for a sweet treat!
- Replies 9
Do you ever take your pet on road trips? Well, one woman took things to the extreme when a video of her and her 'unusual' passenger went viral!
A TikTok user shared the hilarious scene of a woman pulling up to the McDonald's drive-thru with an adorable animal in the backseat.
The customer filming the video wound down her window, asking the owner of the car: 'Is that a horse in your car?'
We'll never forget the reaction of the tiny horse who politely put his head out the window and looked all around him before even nodding to the customer's question!
The video shows a driver named Becky pulling up to the McDonald's drive-thru, along with her trusty equine friend named Rocco, who was calmly standing in the backseat of her black Honda car.
Becky was surprisingly unfazed when she was asked about the horse and calmly replied, 'He's excited for his ice cream.' The question was met with a nod of confirmation from Rocco himself - how cute!
Nearly a million people have watched the now-viral TikTok video already. Judging by the comments, it's safe to assume that many were left in stitches by the unusual sight!
'This is hilarious!' one user said, with another adding, 'The nod from Rocco to confirm he's excited about ice cream.'
A third even joked: 'She wanted more horsepower in her car…'
'The reason why Honda has the so-called 'magic seats', it's to take our ponies for an ice cream,' a fourth went on to say.
Unfortunately for some, there was no follow-up video of Rocco getting his treat, much to the disappointment of viewers who were desperate to see the hungry horse receiving a Macca's treat.
'Why didn't you record Rocko getting his treat?' one commented, with another saying, 'Ohhh part 2, please… I wanna see him eating ice cream.'
Even Coles' official TikTok account got in on the fun by adding a clever pun as a comment beneath the video: 'We're just here to say hay.'
All we can say is it would have been a real treat to be able to witness Rocco enjoying an ice cream cone!
However, it's important to always be aware of and abide by local laws, as many areas have regulations regarding having pets in the car.
Animals can be a distraction to drivers, so for everyone's safety, it's best to make sure you have the legal arrangements when driving with your pet. This varies from state to state, but often it’s a car harness for a dog, a harness or cage for a cat, but we aren’t sure what type of arrangements ponies require…
The rules for driving with pets in Australia can be different depending on where you are. But one thing that's the same everywhere is that you can't drive with a pet on your lap.
Not only is it against the law, but it's also a bad idea in general. Your pet could block your view, mess with your steering, or make it hard to use the pedals. The fines for breaking the law can be pretty steep, usually more than $200 and maybe some demerit points.
For detailed information about the rules in your state, contact your local transport department on the links below:
It's obvious from the video that Rocco is enjoying his trip and the thrill of going through the drive-thru, but it's important to remember that transporting animals — especially those as big as a pony — can be risky, even for short trips like this.
It's important to consider the potential dangers to both the animal and the car owner - the risk of an animal causing disruption, getting hurt or even suffering from motion sickness.
Maybe next time Rocco wants an ice cream, he can head over to Macca’s in a horse float!
