China dog owner goes viral for taking pet on road trip, securing it in cage with funny sign
Pair have travelled to 14 destinations, attracting curious onlookers who often pause to take photos and chat
A Chinese man who embarked on a cross-country road trip with his carsick-prone dog went viral online after securing the canine in a custom-made cage attached to the back of his car, complete with a humorous sign.
On April 21, the dog owner, surnamed Hao, set off on a journey from Shanghai with his seven-month-old male Labrador, affectionately nicknamed Mimi, a name that playfully mimics the sound of a cat’s miaow.
Hao shared with Jimu News that Mimi tends to get carsick, making it challenging for him to travel comfortably inside the vehicle.
To address this issue, he commissioned a custom cage, which he securely mounted to the rear of his Tesla. He discovered that Mimi was significantly more comfortable travelling in the fresh air.
To enhance the travel experience even further, Hao covered the cage with black fabric to block sunlight and added a soft cushion inside to provide Mimi with a cosy surface to rest on.
