We need a dog like this in San Francisco!

With bike thieves becoming more and more emboldened these days, a personal bike bodyguard isn’t such a bad idea.

Thanks to this Golden Retriever in China, owner Luo Wencong never has to worry about coming out of the market to find nothing but a sawed off U-lock.

The dog — named Li Li — faithfully stands guard, causing locals to nickname him the “Bike Hugging Dog.” When Wencong returns, Li Li hops on the back of the bike, and with a bark, they ride off into the sunset together.
