A Husky dog in China has become an internet celebrity by helping guests transport their luggage to a homestay hotel.
The unusual service has attracted many tourists and generated revenues as high as 200,000 yuan (US$27,000) over a three-day period.
Nicknamed Hakimi, the four-legged porter was raised by Xu, the owner of a homestay in the famous tourist city of Lijiang, Yunnan province, in southwestern China.
The cute canine has not only attracted numerous views on social media but has also turned into a living advertisement for the homestay, bringing in many tourists.
Xu told Cover News that the homestay has nine rooms and that he began raising the dog after it opened.
“When Hakimi came to our home, it was very energetic. Last April, when I took it out to play and had the idea of having it try pulling a trolley, to my surprise, it learned right away,” Xu said.
