Hide AdBig Chu belongs to Jackie and Terry McCormack, who run the club, and is a Canadian Eskimo dog (rare indigenous breed of Canada) who Terry describes as "very fit."
Terry said: "He runs marathons with my wife."
The video has been shared on the Lochend Boxing Club Facebook page alongside the words 'Big Chu keeping an eye on the Champ.'
Josh Taylor made Scottish boxing history after becoming a double world champion at London's 02 Arena at the end of October.
He defeated the previously unbeaten American Regis Prograis by a majority decision, winning the Ring Magazine belt and World Boxing Super Series' Muhammad Ali Trophy in the process.

Josh has said previously that he would love to fight next in Scotland, either at Edinburgh Castle or Easter Road.
