Seven stolen village dogs in northeastern China captured the hearts of millions online after breaking free from thieves working for a dog meat shop and embarking on a journey home together, igniting calls for stronger animal protection laws.
On March 16, a netizen surnamed Lu recorded a video of seven dogs walking along a busy highway in Changchun, Jilin province.
In the footage, a group of dogs carefully surrounded an injured German shepherd, while a Corgi at the front repeatedly looked back to ensure none were left behind.
The group also included Golden Retrievers, Labradors and Pekinese dogs.
Lu told mainland Chinese media outlet Dahe Daily: “They resemble a band of little brothers in distress, moving in unison – nothing like stray dogs.”
Although he attempted several times to guide them to safety, the dogs ignored his calls. He then shared the video on Douyin, urging local authorities to step in.
Another passing road user captured footage of the dogs wandering through nearby fields.
The local Bitter Coffee Stray Dog Base reported that the dogs come from the same village, typically roaming freely together and having formed strong friendships.
In response, the base dispatched several volunteers and even a drone to track the dogs and facilitate their safe return home.

Oscar IS NOT the bulgogi😂
The Incredible Journey redux?
When I’m in a certain kind of mood, I could easily pass 2.5 hours watching a movie about a pack of dogs as they travel around, trying to survive. One medium popcorn, lightly salted. I’ll be all set.
The title may be something quite basic: “Dog Pack: A Wandering Band of Brothers “
Not all dog packs are dangerous.
All great looking dogs, no pitbulls.
Left on their own, they become feral and will become dangerous.
China Doge. LOL!
Dog meat shop? LOL. good name for a band or a song
How dare “dinner’ to run away!
