"As he was growing up he started to do this more and more and noticed he got a lot of attention from people and treats coming his way.

"So that’s how he became the CEO of walking. He’s been walking like this since he was a puppy.

“If I have a ball our a treat in my hand he get so excited and start walking. Sometimes I think he’s more human than dog.
