the give away ( ha!) is that they fed the dog meat
and it followed them for evermore ....

The poor dog is going to think she has been abandoned for a second time when the guy flies back to the UK. Let`s hope the Chinese don`t lose her again.

[mikey4444]

Peter....another wonderful dog story...lets keep them coming !

[Peter Pedant]

[mikey4444]

I had read the story about the other dog before and loved the ending. Lovely dog.

This little one might get a bit stressed out in quarantine but, hopefully, he will sail through it and get to his new home.

Reminds me of this story:

[THEMOTLEY1]

Great story really moves you doesn't it?
Now let's be serious for a minute,
Are there not enough stray dogs that need rehoming in the UK already
without importing them from China?

[NoMercy]

Sometimes you just format an unbreakable bond, Motley. I have a rescue dog from Spain.

[mikey4444]

Motley....why the sour note ?

[THEMOTLEY1]

Exactly as I said Mikey //Are there not enough stray dogs that need rehoming in the UK already without importing them from China?//
Not sour, just questioning the need to import more.

[mikey4444]

Motley...everybody else on this thread has managed to understand the special bond that built up between the runner and the dog, and I am not sure why you can't.

After all, he didn't go to China specifically to find a dog and bring it home....it just happened that way.

A good news story.

Bloody Chinese stray dogs coming over here taking new homes from British stray dogs ...
