A loyal pet dog helps his elderly owner by mimicking a workhorse and pulling a cart carrying their supplies.

Footage shows the Aspin pooch patiently waiting for the old man who was sorting out their deliveries in front of the house in North Cotabato, the Philippines on November 25.

The pooch had pink cushion on its back where the rope of the cart was attached so it doesn't hurt its skin.

It was seen walking along the road from a nearby house before stopping in front of a delivery truck where its owner was.

Onlooker Briaxl Vingno Panogaling, who was eating lunch at a nearby cafeteria, said he was outraged at first when he saw the dog pulling the baggage.

However, his opinion that the man had been abusing dog changed when he saw it was only helping its frail old owner take their goods home.

He said: "I was shocked and amazed at the same time because he was very loyal to his owner and was patiently waiting."

Briaxl added that some locals told him that man had no relatives to care for him so he lives alone with the dog.

He said: "It was such a great relationship. They are helping each other and taking care of each other."
