Dog, a good helper

An old Chinese saying goes that a dog never detests its owner's poverty. This dog not only loves its poor owner, but also helps him.

A two-year-old female dog pushes its handicapped owner, who uses a wheeled vehicle, forward with its forelimbs when they encounter a steep climb in Luoyang, Central China's Henan province.

The dog's owner, surnamed Ma, is a shoe repairer who is able to afford only meager lunch everyday without any leftover for the animal. But the dog is conscious enough to look for food elsewhere at lunch time and come back in 10 minutes to Ma.

Why did this hippo cry twice in two straight days? Our next story has the answer.

The dog sit quietly by its owner's side after feeding itself elsewhere, while Ma roasts a steamed bun for lunch at his shoe-repairing shop in Luoyang, Central China's Henan province, on Thursday. [Photo/IC]
