Father trains dog to ‘supervise’ daughter as she does homework
A father in southwest China has come up with a creative way to stop his daughter from getting distracted while doing her homework.
The man decided to train the dog mongrel to ‘supervise’ the school girl while she writes her homework at their home in Guiyang, Guizhou province, as she wouldn’t stop looking at her phone, Daily Mail reported.
Adorable footage showed the cream-colored pooch standing on its hind legs, hovering strictly over the schoolgirl as she completes her assignments on a coffee table.
The father, surnamed Xu, told video news site Pear that his daughter would always procrastinate and struggled to focus. The dog joined the family in December 2016 when he was only a puppy, Mr. Xu said. “It’s very well-behaved,” he said.
“I have been training it since it was young and now it does whatever I tell it to do.
“I pointed at the coffee table and told it to watch my daughter as she does her homework,” he added.
“It would then guard her and make sure she doesn’t reach for her phone.”
In the footage, the diligent dog is seen staring intently at the girl like a strict teacher. Another clips showed another dog joining in on the ‘supervision crew’ and watching the schoolgirl.
“Such a smart pup! No excuse for the student to be lazy now,” one person commented.
“Look at the hardworking dog doing a proper job, it’s not easy being a dog nowadays!” another person commented.
