The dog that takes its owner for a walk! Canine rides a Segway while its master jogs alongside in China

  • Passing motorist photographs a dog driving a Segway in southwest China
  • Standing up like a human, it uses its paws to steer while balancing for speed
  • Owner can be seen running beside it before they both stop at traffic lights

This is the hilarious moment a dog driving a Segway was photographed taking his owner for a walk.

A series of surreal images captured by a passing motorist show a white dog driving down a street on a Segway as its owner runs alongside it.

Remarkably, the dog was adept at manoeuvring the machine, which is controlled by its driver's shifts in body weight. Leaning forwards takes the Segway forward, while leaning back slows it down.

The photos were taken by Long Yao as the pair passed his car in the streets of Chengdu, the capital of China's southwest Sichuan province.

The stunned motorist quickly took out his phone to capture the surreal moment.

He said: 'The doggy also knows to slow down and waits for the lights.

'It was so cute!'

The dog can been driving the electric Segway standing upright much like a human does.

Using its two front paws to grip the handles, it stands stretched out upright and perched on its back legs.

As it does so, its owner runs along beside it, before the two stop side by side at the traffic lights.
