An Alsatian has become something of a local celebrity in a Chinese city for his habit of wearing sunglasses.

Fei Fei’s owner says he bought the dog a pair of sunglasses to protect his eyes from the strong sun in Chongqing, Sichuan Province.

He wasn’t sure if the dog would take to wearing sunglasses – but to his surprise he loves them so much he won’t go out without them.
