The homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been following a team of cyclists for 24

The homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been followinga team of cyclists for 24 days along 1,833 kilometers of highway from Kangding,Sichuan province, to Lhasa in Tibet.

Nobody knows where the white dog came from or how longshe has been straying on highway G318. Netizens call her the "dog withdetermination" and the micro blog "Go Go Xiao Sa" recording herlife has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two weeks.

A picture of Xiao Sa in the arms of a young man infront of the Potala Palace on Thursday night drew more than 4,000 commentscongratulating the small dog and expressing dreams of going to Lhasa.

The young man in the picture is Zhang Heng, 22, astudent in Wuhan, Hubei province. As his graduation trip, he decided to facethe challenge of riding to Lhasa alone. On the way he met a lonely dog."She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuanprovince," he said. "So we fed her, and then she followed our team.”

"We felt she might want to come along with us, sowe decided to bring her along to the end." A week later, Zhang and hisbuddies opened a micro blog account for her. "We thought the dog wasencouraging us, and wanted others to know its story," he said. They createdthe name Xiao Sa by combining xiao meaning "little" with the lastsyllable of Lhasa.

During their journey, Xiao Sa, Zhang and his teamcovered more than 1,700 kilometers and climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000meters. Xiao Sa just ran up the mountains or along dirt roads.

"Many people stopped cycling in some sections,then took the bus, but the dog made it," he said. Zhang put the dog on theback of the bike when the team was riding downhill. "The speed can reach70 kilometers per hour, impossible for the dog to catch us."

Zhang Heng, who accompanied Xiao Sa for 20 days,called her "a buddy and a friend". "I would like to take the doghome and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time.She needs a home."
