People in Luoyang city, Henan province (China) are so familiar with the image of a dog pushing a wheelchair for its disabled owner to go to work every day. This image has moved many hearts of the city people as well as netizens of this country.
No one knows what this dog’s name is, only that it is 2 years old. Its owner is an elderly shoemaker surnamed Ma, poor and disabled.

The dog pushes his paralyzed owner Bo Laoma to the shoe repair stand in a homemade wheelchair in Luoyang city, central China’s Henan province, 25 December 2014.
Dog has long been declared ‘man’s best friend,’ and one need look no further than Luoyang, Henan province to find evidence of the strong bond between human and pooch. NetEase reports on the story of paralyzed shoe repairman Bo Laoma, whose dog has not only unremittingly stayed by his side, but has been seen pushing him to and from his place of work in a homemade wheelchair. Bo, who is paralyzed from the waist down, uses the wheelchair to make the daily commute to his shoe repair stand, which is an uphill journey taking over one hour. The journey, however, may have become a little less arduous with his four-legged friend there to keep him company every step of the way. The shoe repairman told reporters that the strong bond between the two renders them inseparable. He also added that he believes his dog is more clever than many of the guide dogs that he has seen on TV.

Neighboring residents shared: “It is very intelligent, understands human nature, it also knows how to warm its owner’s feet in cold weather. Every day, the dog is often seen pushing Mr. Ma’s wheelchair to the shoe repair shop. The life of both is very difficult, but it is very loyal; Not only does not leave but also knows how to take care of the owner.”

Mr. Ma pig, the dog’s owner, the dog is very intelligent and understands the situation of the two people. The family is poor, cannot afford to buy food every day; The dog can’t even afford to eat each meal, so the dog often has to find food on his own. The people living next door knew the two’s plight, so they often helped. The stores every time they see the dog come, take the leftover rice to eat. Just like that, the two lived together day by day.

“No price can buy this loyal friend of mine”

Whenever the shoe repair owner has a customer, the dog often lies still and watches the owner work. When he saw Mr. Ma finished his work, the dog entwined with him again. Many people who came to repair shoes saw that the dog was smart, so they asked to buy it, but Mr. Ma always refused. “Any price can’t buy this loyal friend of mine,” he said.
