And yes before you ask, he is named after Hollywood star Channing Tatum.
Elise Zorzutti decided to get her beloved pet in on the holiday season early by setting up this very cute photo of him doing his 'shopping'.
"I was in K-Mart on the weekend and I saw a little trolley on a stand. And I thought I had to use it with him because it would be really funny,” Miss Zorzutti said.
"So I brought it home and I used some wrapping paper behind him for a nice background.
"The hat I made with a bit of felt I found and I hot glued it to make the shape I needed”
Flying in the face of the saying 'never work with children or animals’ Channing was at home in front of the camera according to Miss Zorzutti.
"It only took me two minutes to set up the photo, he just sort of stood there nicely for me,”she said.
"I think he loved the camera. I shared it on a guinea pig owners Facebook page and it already has 4000 likes."
