In Poland, Lukasz Puczko decided to design a rather special puppet. As reported by The Dodo, he created Burek, a dog made of fake fur who moves with the help of strings.
Intrigued passers-by
Burek's creator wanted his 'pet' to look exactly like a real dog.
And what better way to test his puppet dog than in a real-life setting? Burek's inventor often takes him for walks in dog parks.
Recently, the puppeteer shared footage of interactions between his "dog" and other animals. And as you'll soon see, both dogs and passers-by are very intrigued by Burek's presence.
A very special purpose
Burek also helps to reassure adults and children who are afraid of dogs. It's a role his creator is very proud of.
