Dog copies human best friend on two-legged walkies
THIS dog brought a whole new meaning to the word “walkies” after taking to the streets of China on its hind legs.
Mr Fang and dog Xiaoniu wearing a jumper
Wearing clothes, a festive Santa hat and carrying a backpack, the peculiar-looking pooch, named Xiaoniu, certainly gave the residents of the Shanghai’s Pudong Zhengdajiayuan housing estate paws for thought.
Owner Mr Fang, 62, said he found Xiaoniu as an abandoned dog three years ago and taught it some tricks.
Xiaoniu can walk upright for an hour at a time
“Xiaoniu was smart, lovely and could walk upright for one hour after training.”
The late Barbara Woodhouse, who famously ordered owners to bark “walkies!” at their pets, would certainly have been impressed.
