One woman, speaking in an American accent, can be heard saying: 'How do you even teach it to do that?'.

Another adds: 'Wow, that is just the most incredible thing.'

But YouTube user Christine Gillet said: 'I think this is dangerous for the dog's back. Not funny or entertaining at all.'

Another wrote: 'That's just cruel to the dog. That's not his they are meant to walk. You're just doing this to show off.' 

And SP Bub said: 'Nice animal abuse video.'

But Vickie Davis defended the video, commenting: 'This dog is perfectly fine. Good grief. She's fine. She's there to make the patients smile.'
