I was wondering that too but maybe it's for the cost of quarantine if he's going to take it out of China.

“Getting Gobi to the U.K. is a long process, one that will take up to four months and see her medically checked, quarantined and fingers crossed cleared for entry,” Leonard said. “All this comes at a cost close to a whopping 5,000 pounds (about $6,500).”

UNlike the muslim horde, individual dogs cannot enter UK whenever the mood strikes. The article says four month observation for the dog and medical check.

Don’t want any nasty lice sneaking in, eh what?
