Perhaps he was travelling on the Barkerloo line.

Or maybe he was on his way to Houndslow, or the Isle of Dogs or Bark Lane. You get the picture.

Regardless, a rather massive dog pictured on a tube train has become an internet hit after his image was posted on Reddit. 'He thinks he's people', posted one commenter on the website.

And sat comfortable in the priority seat (you can tell he's the sort of hound that'd offer a pregnant lady his seat) he looks like any other commuter making their way into work.

Other Redditors saw the dog's presence as less than soothing suggesting it was the beginning of an uprising: "This is the beginning of something big, i can feel it in my bones. rise of the dogs. first they take our public transport, then our jobs and wives" one imaginatively claimed.

Another Reddit user said: "As long as he sticks to the right on the escalator he should travel free."

Perhaps he was on his way to Barking...etc.
