A 2-year-old watchdog was named Gou Jianqiang (strong dog) as it carries a bag full of mineral water bottles to its master's shop atop a mountain in Luquan, Hebei province, every day.

Each morning, the storeowner fills a cloth bag with 10 mineral water bottles, which Gou Jianqiang picks up and walks 5 km up the mountain.

Bai Jianjun, the shopkeeper, said though he had trained the dog to perform the feat about a year ago, he only recently named it Gou Jianqiang.
