A kind-hearted man adopted a disabled stray dog and customised a wheelchair for it in eastern China.

In the heartwarming video, filmed in the city of Shanghai on November 2, the dog named Ku Gua, or "bitter melon", is seen only able to walk with his two front legs.

Another clip shows Ku Gua's owner Mr Wang putting a wheelchair on it and then it ran fast and happily along the road.

According to reports, Wang spotted the disabled stray dog when he was travelling on his bike.

Since the dog was struggling to survive, Wang decided to adopt it.

Ku Gua gained weight from only around 5kg to over 15kg now and Wang also took the dog to travel with him.

两年前，上海的王先生在骑车旅行途中，发现了一只被车压断腰的流浪狗，看到它艰难求生，便决定收养下来。后来，王先生还为它定制了“轮椅”，让它可以“飞奔”。王先生表示，小狗拖着残废的后肢行走不便，他就产生了给它定制轮椅的念头。王先生还带着小狗骑行去了很多地方，小狗从收养时的十多斤一直长到到现在的三十多斤。（视频由上海台提供）
