A group of seven dogs that went missing in China have gone viral after a video emerged of them walking more than 17km (about 11 miles) back home to their village, reuniting with owners who had been searching for them for days.
The video, first posted online on 15 March, shows the dogs – including a golden retriever, labrador, German shepherd and Pekinese – walking along the highway in Changchun, the capital of China’s north-east Jilin province, where temperatures are dropping below 0C overnight.
Leading the pack is a corgi, later identified in Chinese media as Dapang, or “big fatty”.

In parts of Asia, pet meat is a delicacy. Mr. Nick (our late toy poodle), Miss Active I (our late cat), and Miss Active II ("Deuce", our current cat) would never have approved of it. Deuce herself approves these dogs' great escape as they've returned home to their masters. The herding dog protected the pack.
It was either walk or wok for them.
My grandmother loved Mr. BJ the uncropped Doberman. He was sweet and loved family. He was the first pet I remember family had. And he made sure we were safe.
Every dog and cat we had knew they were family and would never be food.
That’s why our cat approved of these pups’ escape. Even the homeless cat who now resides on our porch and is our Chief Mouser Oliver understands. He is a “farm” cat who ensures mice won’t enter the home.
It was either walk or wok for them.
LOL!
To a dog in good shape, an 11 mile walk is done by lunch.
Nice they escaped from the thieves. In Arizona we don’t worry much about human predators of pets. The coyotes kill thousands of pets every year, probably many more than that.
When I was around 7 or 8 my family moved from one small town to another about 25 miles away. Our tomcat went back to the old house at least 2 or 3 times until he figured out the new digs were permanent. Big river between the two didn’t stop him.
That's some good eating, there!
The hawks and owls do their part too. I'd never have a small outside pet here.
😁
Walked the entire 11 miles, WOW
Love your animal names. LOL! +1
I got kicked of a local social media app because I suggested that the missing dogs and cats in the area could be due to newly arrived Asian immigrants.
