This Man Saw A Dog Being Sold For Meat And Just Couldn’t Walk By
Xingyi Danielle’s dad was walking down the street in China one day looking for a place to grab a bite when he saw a group of people selling live dogs trapped in bags for meat consumption. The man didn’t have the heart to simply walk by…
So, he paid $90 for one of the doggies and saved his life. “His environment isn’t dog-friendly so he couldn’t buy more,” Danielle told The Dodo. “But [he] at least got to save one.”
As soon as he got home, the man snapped a photo of the dog in the bag to show the world they’re sold like some cheap commodity rather than a living thing.
Dad gave the dog a name, marking a new, happier chapter in the canine’s life: “It’s basically Doggo pronounced in Cantonese, actually.”
As the place the man lives at doesn’t allow dogs, the pooch is currently staying at his office for now, but he’s still trying his best to provide a good environment for him,” said Danielle.
Most importantly, Doggo didn’t end up on someone’s burger plate. The dog couldn’t be happier to be given a second chance at life.
“I was quite proud, to be honest,” said Danielle about her dad’s spontaneous act of kindness. You go dad!

I'm glad he saved the poor dog. The only problem I have with this is that he bought it. By buying it he only supported the industry. This leads to even more dogs in situations like these
Yes he paid for the dog, but probably only way he could save Doggo.
Load More Replies...Do you think the sellers were just going to hand over the dog? I hear what you are saying about supporting the industry, but this is one dog that isn't going to be eaten. Let's hope the man's co-workers don't eat him alive; maybe one of them should consider taking the dog as his/her own.
The most important step is for the Chinese government to take measures to stamp this out. The majority don't like this going on.
No words for this chinese food tradition...-I thank this guy for saving this poor dog...
we eat sacred cows. we feed sacred rats to our pet snakes. some people have chickens for pets. it's cultural.
Load More Replies...Sherry: have you ever looked in a cow's eye? Thats no argument, many animals are kind of innocent & have a soft soul, but beeing eating by humans and animals. Eating animals is everyones own choice, but what makes it cruel is, how we handle them, kill them and that there seems to be no limit, no matter what animal it is.
Listen there is no denying that dogs are extremely unique among the animal/human relationships that exist in the world. We have bred them for thousands of years to work by our sides, keep us company, keep us safe and they have remarkably adopted into these roles to become the longest, strongest and closest animals linked to human existence. We created what dogs are today, we owe them better than this.
We are animal and part of us eats other animals. That's not exactly nice thing, but it's tolerable. I can understand the fact, that another animal eats me. Problem is that we are conscious animals with morals, able to understand pain of others, and still we torture other animals we eat. That's intolerable.
Show me cows, rats, snakes, or chickens serving in the military or law enforcement, search and rescue, sniffing explosives or drugs, protecting their families, etc. Just because it's cultural doesn't make it right. There's a tribe in India that eat dead bodies but it's cultural right?
Please don't talk about culture when discussing this horrific hideous trade, which by the way has only been going on for about 20 years...it has nothing to do with culture! And culture is no excuse for this evil torture of animals....watch them kill these dogs and then talk culture!!!
Take one look in a dog's eye and you can see their gentle soul. Cultural and be damned it is disgusting!
Really? Its not THAT they eat them. Its HOW. They think they taste better, the more fear theyre in when they die so they torture them. They skin them alive; boil them to death; Chop off their legs while still alive; tie their front legs behind their backs and their mouths shut then drag them into the street and beat their heads in with metal rods; electrocute them; Blow torch them while alive and conscious; hang them and slit their anuses; pierce their eardrums so they cant bark; gouge their eyes out so they cant run away..........And most of them are peoples stolen pets with collars and names, plucked from their homes to be starved, dehydrated and stacked on top of eachother in wire cages. The toss the cages around and if any body part is sticking out it is smashed.....the ones the suffocate and die in transit are lucky compared with the doom that awaits them when they brutally butchered......How do you think that feels?
I don't condone any of the actions you listed either. Except maybe chickens as pets. I had one that could swim, play tag, & roll a ball back & forth. We didn't teach him that either. He just saw us playing & caught on.
They hand them by their legs and arms everyday and beat them to tenderize the meat. Then toss them in a cage with dogs on top. Do you have any idea what you're shooting your mouth off about
Cows and rats have never had a bond of friendship with people. It's cruel the way all animals are in no respect but... You can't justify eating dogs after they have been so loyal to us, worship the ground we all on and hold the emotional capacity to create bonds with us. Even give their lives to protect us in some cases. This is demoralizing. Considering this and China's rediculous demand for ivory which is responsible for the pointless deaths of innocent elephants... I have no respect for their rediculous culture.
I agree. JUST BECAUSE the dog is a common pet never makes them deserve more than other animals. Dogs are canines, canines are animals. They are NEVER superior to any other animal!
The only thing wrong with Chinese food traditions are cooking and/or eating things alive, everything else mentioned is just hypocrisy at it's finest.
Youre probably a dog eater.....If not, educate yourself!! There are so many things wrong with it!!
