The dog then runs past a group standing next to a car that was being repaired and makes its way towards an alley.

A second video shows a toddler staring at the pooch as it snatched the piñata and joining the wild race. 

While it’s unknown if the mischievous pup eventually gave up the piñata, one TikTok user joked that residents may still be asking of its whereabouts.

Another quipped that the pooch was prepared for the scramble that tends to take place when candy and other goodies are spilled to the ground.

‘It’s a given that with a piñata you don’t know anyone at that moment,’ the TikToker wrote.
