While a Corgi led the pack, bigger dogs surrounded an injured German shepherd to protect him from a busy highway in this real-life “Homeward Bound” story.
I’m an innately nosey and chronically online celebrity and pop culture journalist, with my specialist areas including deep-diving lyrics and calling out Terrible Men™. It’s no secret that the news has been pretty miserable for quite a while now, but I am so pleased to report that we finally have an unbelievably wholesome story to distract us from the burning world — and it involves seven dog friends whose recent adventure is worthy of its own Disney movie.
So, basically, on March 15, a video emerged online showing seven dogs of different breeds walking along a highway together in Changchun, which is the capital of China’s northeast Jilin province. Sadly, we can't share the video right now, but you can watch it for yourselfIn the footage, a Corgi, later identified as Dapang , was seen leading the pack, and repeatedly looking behind — seemingly making sure that none of his friends had been left behind., the person who captured the highway footage tried to guide the dogs to safety, but they ignored him. He then posted the video online to urge local authorities to step in. Notably, somebody else also filmed the dogs as they wandered through nearby fields together.The Bitter Coffee Stray Dog Base then reported that the dogs came from three separate households in the same village, and had a strong bond with one another because they often play outside together and know each other well.According to SCMP, a volunteer for this base said that the dogs were stolen from the village by people operating a dog meat shop, with it being thought that the friends had managed to escape from a truck together, with the pack first spotted around 17km away from their village.For what it’s worth, while dog meat is banned in some municipalities of China, dog meat restaurants still operate in parts of the country. As raising dogs can be costly, it is not unusual for pet dogs to be stolen for the trade, with thefts reported across cities like Changchun, Harbin, and Dalian.Against all odds, by March 19, all seven dogs had been reunited with their worried owners. The Corgi was the first to return home on March 18, with Dapang one of three pups who belonged to the same owner. After Dapang wandered back into her house, the, Dapang’s owner told Chinese media that she was at the point of giving up hope after spending four days looking for her beloved pets.It’s worth noting that since this story went viral online, state media in China has refuted the dog meat claim, and insisted that all seven dogs wandered off on their own accord. Still, people are understandably obsessed with the whole thing, and have taken to social media to share their heartfelt reactions to the doggy pals’ movie-worthy experience.
