A dog has been filmed tumbling out of a car window as its owners drove through a roundabout.

A motorist’s dashcam captured footage of a Toyota Yaris driving through a roundabout, before a cocker spaniel in the backseat was flung onto the road.

The dog was catapulted out of the window and landed on its head on the bitumen, while the unaware owner continued to drive before realising what had happened.

The pooch, which still had its lead on, rolled a couple of times before walking along the footpath towards the car.

The owners, who pulled over about 50m up the road, ran towards the cocker spaniel, which didn’t appear injured. 

The dog wagged its tail excitedly as its owner hugged and patted it, before being put back in the car. 

The RSPCA can issue fines under The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. 

If an animal is injured because it was unrestrained, owners face up to six months’ jail and fines of up to $5,500.
