VIDEO: There's a man being walked like a dog on a leash

The sight of a woman walking a man like a dog in the middle of London begs the question - Why?

The well-dressed man was filmed being led by a woman with a leash in the city today.

So what did he do to deserve it? Twitter users were left speculating that he had lost a bet while many others thought it was a publicity stunt.

Baffled passers-by also took snaps of the man, who was meekly walking on all fours and being led by the smartly dressed lady holding a purple handbag.

Did we really just see this outside work? A woman walking a man like a dog on a lead in #Farringdon #London #bizarre pic.twitter.com/GS3TKJYAeR

Just seen a man in a suit, on all fours and attached to a lead, being pulled along by a woman down Fleet Street. Gotta love London!
