This is the adorable moment a tiny pup tries to help a couple pull a large street food cart across a busy road as it tugs on its lead with all its strength.

The helpful pooch was filmed by an unnamed witness in the streets of the city of Guangyuan, Sichuan province, south-west China.

The footage shows an elderly woman pulling the cart with a stall in front, and an old man can be seen pushing hard in the back to get across the street.

But beside them, a pint-sized pup can be seen accompanying the pair, with its leash tied to the back of the cart.

As the two humans work hard to get the wheeled trolley off the road, their dog appears to be working even harder to help them out.

The adorable little pup can be seen putting its back into the pull as it waddles forward while pulling its leash.

Its cute effort was caught on a passerby’s camera and was later shared on Douyin – the Chinese version of TikTok, with a caption saying: “Such a cute dog, I want to keep it.”
