Man’s genius trick to walk his dog during self-isolation

A man believed to be in quarantine on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus has come up with a genius way to walk your dog during these trying times.

Taking to Instagram to show off his novel plan, Vakis Demetriou posted a video showing him using a remote-controlled drone to walk his dog Oliver as he watches from his “locked down” balcony.

The 20 second video doesn’t show much and it’s unlikely Mr Demetriou is actually recommending other people to use a similar method to walk their dogs.

If the dog was any bigger, the idea probably wouldn’t work as it won’t be strong enough to stop them from running off.

He ends the video advising people to “stay home to be safe but don’t forget your dog’s happiness”.

Cyprus effectively went in to lockdown on Sunday March 15 after President Nicos Anastasiades announced the island was facing a state of emergency.
