5/14/2005: Dog trained to walk upright

If 19 walking dogs isn't your style, what about a single walking dog? According to this, a Chinese guy has trained his dog to walk up to five miles. Of course, since the weasel words "up to" include the distance "5 feet", I suppose one could take this with a grain of salt.

More importantly, since my own dog now faces arthritis in his rear hips and knees, I would encourage everyone NOT to do this with your dog. Just walk it normally, please.

It does seem kinda cruel to do that to a four-legged critter. People are so weird.

I can't even walk 5 miles on my two feet :) :crazy: :headshake

Those are probably booties to protect it's feet. I had to make them for my Newfoundlander in the winter because the salt hurt her feet.

Ballet slippers. :lol:
