A man was seen waking more than 10 pet dogs on a crowded street in Lhasa, Tibet, with tourists around him. It’s a popular street for travellers called Barkhor Street.

It is understood that the old man called Wangdui, who lives nearby, likes to feed small animals since childhood and thinks that raising small animals is beneficial and harmless to people.

For safety reasons, the man always puts the dog on a leash to prevent people or dogs from being hurt by cars or fighting with other dogs.

The man said he was a travelling businessman when he was younger. After turning 50 years old, he settled down in Lhasa.

With more leisure time, he said "I started with three dogs and didn't plan to get more, but the puppies gave birth to tiny dogs and I couldn't bear to discard them, so I got more and more. Now the oldest is 18 years old and the youngest was just born.”

The video was filmed on February 9 and provided with permission by local media.

西藏自治区拉萨市八廓街有着悠久的历史，是当地人最常去的地方，也是游客喜爱的“打卡”地。在人群中，有一位藏族老人每天都会牵着十几只宠物狗在这里散步。
据了解，老人叫旺堆，就住在拉萨八廓街附近，1951年西藏和平解放那年出生在索县绒布镇一个牧民家中，他从小喜欢喂养小动物，认为饲养小动物对人有益无害。
老人最近会带着11只狗狗跟他出门散步，两只已经走不动的老狗被他养在窝里，陪伴它们的还有几只幼崽的嗷嗷声。为了安全起见，老人外出运动时会给犬戴上牵引绳。在市区街道上从不会疏忽松带，任其自由闲荡，以防人狗被车撞伤或惊扰行人，或与其他犬相遇而打斗，尤其会注意防止咬伤行人。
老人说他小时候是个走南闯北的生意人，五十多岁后跑不动了，在拉萨定居下来。闲暇时间多了，开始想到养狗。“我刚开始养了三条狗，也没有打算多养，但是小狗生下小小狗，我又不忍心把它们丢弃，就越养越多。现在最大的18岁了，最小的才出生。他会一直把它们养下去。
