00:03He has no badge, no walkie-talkie, and definitely no salary.
00:07But for the past two years, a stray dog named John has been turning up for work like clockwork,
00:13side by side with the traffic police at one of Kuala Lumpur's busiest intersections.
00:20Videos of this unlikely partnership recently went viral, and it's not hard to see why.
00:25Every weekday, from as early as 7am, John arrives at the intersection near Taman Tugu and Bukit Aman,
00:33often before the officers themselves.
00:35When duty calls, he takes his place right beside whoever is on shift that morning, loyal as any partner could
00:41be.
00:44When the officer moves to a new spot within the junction, John follows.
00:49No leash needed, no command required.
00:51John does push boundaries sometimes, letting out the occasional bark at passing vehicles.
01:03But one gentle hand gesture from the officer, and he's back in line.
01:09John's fan club doesn't end with the police force.
01:12Regular morning commuters have taken a shine to him too.
01:15Some pass treats through the officer's hands.
01:18Others park their motorcycles just to give him a nice meal.
01:24Or a quick scratch behind the ear before heading off.
01:27Officers on duty also make it a point to bring some treats, in case the dog shows up for duty.
01:33Nobody quite knows how the name John came about.
01:36Nobody knows where he goes when the 9am shift ends, or where he spends his weekends.
01:41But like clockwork, every Monday morning, he's back at his post.
01:53You
