A stray dog in the country of Georgia has become a local hero after taking on the responsibility of helping children cross a busy intersection by leading the way and barking at oncoming traffic to slow down. The local celebrity, named Kupata, has even been seen chasing down vehicles that failed to yield to pedestrians.⊠As word of Kupataâs heroics spread, locals began showing up to see the amazing dog in action. As more videos were taken, Kuaptaâs actions eventually circulated online, putting the city of Batumi on the map in the process. This prompted Georgiaâs tourism board to officially adopt Kupata as he became the cityâs de facto mascot. Even a mural was recently put up in his honor.
