Secret of man being walked like a dog revealed

On Friday, we published a story about the man in London being walked like a dog, which left locals scratching their heads.

Now, the woman holding the leash has come forward to explain just what was going on - and no, it wasn't some sort of strange relationship activity, or even some mad PR stunt.

Instead, it was, erm, acting.

Speaking to the London Independent, the woman, Eden Avital Alexander, said she was an actress, and the bizarre incident was a stunt to film the reactions of passers-by.

"Walking a man on a leash raised interesting responses on gender equality and also the blurred lines between our personal and public lives," she told the newspaper

"I do believe that a lot of people raised important issues in their response; such as equality of gender, human rights, animal rights, where PR stops and personal life begins."

No word yet on what exactly the final project will be, or if it will be released publicly.

We can't help but be a bit disappointed, honestly.
