Acrobatic dog steals show

A Chinese dog has performed a breathtaking high wire stunt in front of thousands of spectators.

The two-year-old Tibetan mastiff called Hu Hu (Tiger) performed the stunt at a special event to showcase dog tricks in Chongqing city.

They watched as he climbed to the top of a four metre platform and balanced along two thin steel wires.

Spectators held their breath and occasionally called out “slow down, slow down” to Hu Hu.

He paused occasionally before completing the 10 metre walk to the other end. The dog’s owner, Mr He, says Hu Hu was a gift from a friend. He trained Hu Hu for more than a year to walk across wires, reports Chongqing Business News. ananova
