Chewy Leads Kelly Ripa From ABC

It's Chewy Consuelos, the "world's largest Shih Tzu." Well, not technically, but that's what her human mom (aka, Kelly Ripa) loves to call this pooch. She's definitely on the larger size for a potentially tote-able pet, but still totally cute as she walks on her own.

Let's talk about the leash technique for a moment: Kelly's holding the lead straight up, which can be used when first training a pup how to walk or to maintain control while she goes. Keeping the leash fairly taut and also straight up makes it impossible for the pooch to pull because it greatly limits, or stops entirely, the forward motion. Looks like Chewy's taking her time leaving the ABC Studios, so it seems to be working. Check out more adoro photos of the rescued doggie below!

The dog Kelly Ripa jokingly refers to as "the world's largest Shih Tzu," Chewy Consuelos joins her human fam for some outside fun in SoHo. She does look a tad too big to tote so she's using paws to prowl the New York City streets.

Rescued from the North Shore Animal League (and with a name bestowed by Lola, Michael, and Joaquin), she even got to enjoy June's Take Your Dog To Work Day with her TV mom! Check out this talented pooch making a furry cameo on Live with Regis and Kelly when you read more.
