It’s a dog-eat-rat world out there.
A rambunctious rodent found its way into the middle of a Fido frenzy, causing chaos to erupt at the Tompkins Square Dog Run in Manhattan.
As captured in a now-viral video posted to Twitter, owners frantically tried to corral their canines, who quickly chased, surrounded and chomped at the rat.
The clip — which amassed nearly 6 million views as of Thursday afternoon — is set to the jazzy tune “They Say It’s Spring” by Blossom Dearie as the pups kicked up dust.
While many couldn’t catch the rat, one dog, later revealed as a 4-year-old Jindo mix named Zoey, locked jaws on the rodent — shaking her head before tossing the rat in the air.
Her owner, initially dubbed “gray sweatshirt guy” in the comments, quickly shut it down, pointing at Zoey as if to say, “Stay back!”
