Police in India arrested a YouTuber for a stunt where he tied helium balloons to his pet dog in order to make them fly.
In the video, Gaurav Sharma, 32, attached around 10 large helium balloons to his small dog and then releases it.
The dog floats up into the air where it is caught on a second floor balcony of a nearby apartment.
