This dog loves taking the stairs two paws at a time

Chicago, Illinois- This dog has a very unusual way of getting down the stairs: he only needs his front paws.

Owner Kelly Krutsch (37) filmed the funny moment, which took place outside her Chicago home.

The clip went viral on Instagram at the end of January. It shows a dog named Maddi descending a flight of stairs in her very own special way.

The Daily Mail reported that Maddi has four fully functioning legs, but she prefers to balance on two or three paws instead of all four.

Kelly said the dog started walking on two legs when she was about a year old. Maddi is a German shorthaired pointer, and she lives with her younger sister at Kelly's house.

Maddi is currently four years old and the clear pack leader. Her sister, Sophie, doesn't run around on two legs. She prefers to watch Maddi's balancing acts with fascination.

Instagram loves the video
