Husky in Lijiang, mainland China, becomes an internet sensation after assisting passengers with luggage at the homestay, attracting tourists.
Husky Becomes Hotel Porter in China: The homestay in Lijiang, Yunnan province, China, boasts an unlikely star in Hakimi, the Husky that helps guests lug their luggage onto the property. The pooch has made a splash on social media, bringing in an avalanche of business for the homestay, whose online sales soared to as high as 200,000 yuan (more than 23.49 lakh INR) in three days, according to the South China Morning Post.

Hakimi's owner, Xu, explains that it was really an experiment at some level. “When Hakimi came to our home, it was very energetic. Last April, when I took it out to play, I had the idea of having it try pulling a trolley. To my surprise, it learnt right away,” he told Cover News. Despite training being entirely irrelevant, this dog caught onto doing what he was supposed to fairly quickly, and in fact, he seemed to improve with repetition.
The dog does a simple 200-meter route that transports guests from the South Gate of Lijiang Old Town to the homestay, waiting for requests from help from guests. “We only take it out when guests ask for it, and it usually does this about three to six times a day,” Xu said. Well, Xu estimates around 80 percent of guests now come to the homestay especially for Hakimi's service.
Viral sensation
Despite their formative years showing off their dog pulling luggage every now and then, Xu did not anticipate that these funny clips would go viral and be seen by millions. “Each video gets between one and 10 million views. Hakimi has become a ‘little fortune bringer’ for the homestay,” Xu added.
The dog’s intelligence and enthusiasm have impressed the internet. One user commented, “The Husky’s ancestors must have been something special to produce such a talented dog!” Another noted, “When it turns a corner, it even looks back at the luggage, using inertia to position itself. It is so smart!”
