A Dachshund named Guai Guai, who lives in China, has become a local celebrity for his skills in pushing a wheelchair. He places his front paws on the footrests of the wheelchair belonging to his owner's father, and runs under the wheelchair pushing it.

A tan Dachshund runs under a manual wheelchair, pushing it by placing his front paws on the footrests.

Guai Guai's owner, Ms. Wang of Zhengzhou, says the dog taught himself to push the wheelchair while accompanying her and her elderly father on walks as a puppy. At first, he stumbled frequently, but now pushes the chair so rapidly that many people presume it is motorized. Guai Guai enjoys the activity and, according to Ms. Wang, becomes frantic if he doesn't get to push the wheelchair at least once a day.

    That is so cute!  It is amazing what even a smaller dog, like a dachshund, can do.
