espinay2 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-18218878 (link has video) A stray dog has completed a 1700km journey across China after joining a cycle race from Sichuan province to Tibet.The dog, nicknamed "Xiaosa", joined the cyclists after one of them gave him food. He ran with them for 20 days, covering up to 60km a day, and climbing 12 mountains. Cyclist Xiao Yong started a blog about Xiaosa's adventures, which had attracted around 40,000 fans by the end of the race. Yong now hopes to adopt Xiaosa.

Kajtek Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) What's even better for this stray dog .... he will not be eaten. Yep, they still eat dogs in China! Edited May 27, 2012 by Kajtek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mona Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 This is such a heart warming story and the little dog had such a smile on his face as he was running along ... a sense of freedom . Apparently one of the riders is sending by air back to Wuhan as digs are not permitted to travel by train. Hoping they both have a long and happy life together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Not to be a wowser or anything, but I hope it truly was a stray dog and some little kid isn't sitting at home wondering why Snowy hasn't turned up for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajtek Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Not to be a wowser or anything, but I hope it truly was a stray dog and some little kid isn't sitting at home wondering why Snowy hasn't turned up for dinner. During our travels in China we saw many street/village dogs like that. It is very unlikely that the dog belonged to anyone or that it will be missed.
