DOG TIRED: Elderly Man Gets Help Exercising As Pet Pooch Joins In

An elderly man has been getting help with his daily exercises – from his dog.

The dog, named Sakura, is first of all seen watching the old man exercise, then as the video progresses, the dog seems to have put on some exercise gear, and is seen wearing a dress as it stands against the railings and copies its master in every move.

As the old man bends down, the dog does the same, watching all the time to make sure it copies the man’s moves exactly.

In another video, the old man is sitting on the chair, crossing and re-crossing his legs, as the golden retriever watches intently and does the same.

Meanwhile, border collies sit idly by, watching mystified as the golden retriever and master go through their moves.

The videos were shot in a high-rise apartment located in Jiangxi which is a landlocked province in the east of the People’s Republic of China.

Local media did not report on the name of the man.
