‘My husky runs away all the time, if you find it, you can keep it’: Chinese dog owner’s humorous despair over missing pet
Owner admits he has learned his lesson after being reunited with errant animal when appeal for help goes viral on social media
A Chinese dog owner has been reunited with his runaway husky after a humorous appeal for help – in which he said anyone who found the serial truant was welcome to keep it – went viral on social media.
The owner’s despairing notice was posted on Sunday evening after the dog named Huazhu, which means flowery pig, slipped its leash and ran off after another dog in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, on Sunday morning.
Wang Wei, a property agent in his twenties, posted a missing poster near the scene of the dog’s disappearance that read: “Looking for a dog, named Huazhu (does not respond to his name), male, aged one, coloured grey and black.
“Lost on July 22 on the Second Ring Road Bridge. I think he wants to be a stray dog. If someone finds him and wants to keep him, please go ahead (he runs away every two to three days, I can't take it).
“Please treat him well, just feed him normal dog food, but you have to add 5kg [11 pounds] of chicken breast meat to his diet every week. If you don't want to keep him, please just give him back to me.”
The appeal appears to have struck a chord as pictures of his poster started circulating on social media and news outlets picked up the story.
