Poodle dressed as schoolgirl walks upright in China

CHENGDU, China, March 13 (UPI) -- A poodle in China is turning heads with a spot-on schoolgirl impression complete with a costume and a one-mile walk on his hind legs.

The Sichuan province poodle's owner, a man identified by the surname Zhu, said the male poodle can walk for up to a mile on his hind legs while wearing clothes designed for young girls and a small backpack.

Zhu, who has been training dogs for about 20 years, said it took about two months to teach the 1-year-old poodle how to walk on his hind legs in clothes.
