A poodle has become a local celebrity in a Chinese city where it goes for a walk every day - on two feet.Gou Gou walks out 'hand-in-hand' with owner Wang Guoqiang every afternoon at 3pm in Xi'an city, reports People's Daily.
Local people have got used to seeing Gou Gou and he is usually followed by a crowd of fans who scream whenever they see him.
Mr Wang, 66, the dog's owner, said he decided to teach the poodle to walk on two legs as a puppy and it had completely mastered it by the age of 18 months.
"It sometimes pulls my jacket to walk, or walks in front of me, and occasionally looks back to see if I am following; like it is waiting for me," he said.
"When I play my accordion, it will bark with the rhythm and dance in the standing position if the song is suitable for dancing."
Mr Wang claims Gou Gou can even answer the phone. He says that when the phone rings, it lifts up the receiver with its paws and barks.
"Sometimes the person at the other end will hang up the phone when hearing a dog bark. If the poodle hears the phone has been put down, it will put down the phone also," he said.
Mr Wang said he treasures his pet very much, giving it three meals a day, bathing it twice a week and even letting it use the same toothpaste as him.
"Each morning, I help it to brush its teeth. The poodle will open its mouth always to cooperate," he said.
