Wheel barking
They may look barking - but whatever you do don't mistake them for Rott-wheelers.
These
tiny terriers have been trained to lend a paw ever since their owner
Sun Chien, 76, suffered a stroke and found the two mile trek to the
shops too much.
Now Pong Pong and Wow Wow regularly make the
mile long walk through Shenyang, northern China, on their own using a
specially adapted trolly complete with purse and a shopping list.
"I
used to pull an ordinary cart with me to get my shopping home. Then one
day, Pong Pong suddenly stood up on his hind legs and tried to help me
to push," said Sun.
"I made them a cart of their own and now
they're so good they don't need me with them. If one gets tired he hops
in the cart for a ride and then they swap over," he added.
