Work it: Pomeranian pup struts his stuff in Chinese lion dance (VIDEO)

A two-year-old Pomeranian in Thailand has become an internet hit after his owner posted a video on Facebook of the tiny dog doing a traditional Chinese lion dance ahead of the  Lunar New Year.

The dog is named “Zipplaw,” which means “10-wheel truck” in Thai. It’s also called “Optimus” in English.
