A small dog in China has outdone American style, turning heads by walking upright and carrying a handbag. The miniature pinscher, Lu Lu, has caused a stir in Henan Province by strutting through town like a miniature (and fashionable) human being. The Daily Mail Reports (linked from ABC News):

Meet Lu Lu, the ultimate in diva dogs. While most pampered pooches are happy to being carried around in a hand bag Hollywood-style, Lu Lu prefers to carry her own.

Forget the catwalk – it is all about the dog-walk. Lu Lu walks around on her hind legs, just like a human.

The one-year-old pup has taken to using just her two legs to walk, leaving her other two free to carry a handbag.

The miniature pinscher has won the hearts of locals in Zhumadian, in the Henan Province where she can often be seen walking upright.

What’s next? Psychic octopuses?
