A dog famous in China for traveling around with its owner was reportedly stolen, sold for less than $30 and eaten, according to media reports from Asia.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that the dog’s name was Chutou and that he was an eight-year-old border collie who gained over a million followers on China’s version of TikTok, Douyin, for accompanying his owner, identified by multiple outlets simply as “Guo,” on journeys across China over many years.
Guo, according to SCMP, took a solo trip to Georgia last month and left Chutou behind in the care of his father at his home in the central Chinese province of Henan. The outlet reported that, on May 11, Guo’s father took Chutou with him to work in the family’s fields, and that’s when he went missing.
Frantic, Guo immediately cut his trip short and came back to China to look for Chutou, and surveillance footage was eventually obtained that showed “two strangers taking the dog on an electric bike,” the South China Morning Post reported.
“He was later told that Chutou had been sold to a dog meat restaurant for 180 yuan [$27 USD] and the pet had been eaten.”

You got that right. I generally HATE Chinese, China, CCR, etc. There are individual Chinese who are OK, but they are few. This is mainly because of their heinous treatment of animals, killing them in horrible ways for food and fur.
I wish I could H.T. The freeper who dubbed them “soulless yellow apes”
Egads

RE: Border collie....
I happened to remember the Gary Larson cartoon. “Oh, thank God, here comes a border collie.”
