Watching the man cried for his dog at the end of the video really breaks my heart. Damned to the family of thieves! May they doom with declining health!

The thief DID NOT mistake it for a stray. He knew the dog had an owner and stole him deliberately, not giving a single damn about the emotional distress he will cause for his own pittiful gain. He should be jailed and fined substantially for the grief infliected upon the dog's owners and the dog itself.

Good for him to push for justice. But at the same time, for dog owners living in places known for dog-eating, they should have utmost precautions! If the dog is well taken care of, then it's well fed, well groomed and unlikely to look like a stray. I don't believe the dognapper. It appears that him and his family are the type that would screw people over and would cry victim even if they are at fault.

This breaks my heart. A happy dog with a sad and brutal ending. My heart aches for all the animals that had to die to feed us humans.

This story broke my heart and my family's. My elderly mother has been watching their videos for years and grew very attached to Chutou. Amid such a heartbreaking tragedy, I believe that every life we encounter leaves us with something to learn. Perhaps Chutou's legacy will be to inspire meaningful changes in animal welfare and pet protection laws in China, helping to prevent similar tragedies in the future. My thoughts and prayers are with Guo and his family during this incredibly difficult time. I hope that, with time, they are able to find peace, comfort, and healing. Sending them love and hugs.

That dog trusted those human who sold and slaughtered her. She was probably wagging her tail all happy before getting butchered.

A dog need to have a collar to distinct it from a stray and a number shld be put on the collar tag so incase it goes missing, the owner can be contacted.

I don't know whether they have dog hotel services in China. He should've sent his dog there if they had.

Not advocating to ban eating dogs, but there should at least be laws against abducting random dogs from the street to sell as food. Dogs meant for consumption should be farmed with health certificate as proof.

This is a very rural area in China and it is unfortunate
