The husband controls the direction of the vehicle while the carriage is pulled by dogs, the People's Daily Online reports. The pair from Yiwu say the dogs are happy and loyal and do not have any trouble pulling the carriage. According to reports, the idea for the inventive dog-powered trike came from the husband who started having trouble walking after he retired. He wore out his electric scooter and could not afford a new one. So instead of saving up, he decided to turn it into a dog powered trike. There are two seats on-board the vehicle, along with space for another dog. Chinese web users have questioned whether the mode of transport is legal but there has been no statement from the police on whether they are investigating the case. This isn't the first dog pulled machine in China. In 2013, a man was filmed riding along at speed down a road in a sleigh while being pulled by two dogs.
