A pack of seven dogs who escaped a Chinese butcher truck went viral on Monday. It was the mostly motely crew of dogs that you could imagine, and it almost feels like something out of a Pixar movie. I’m not a sucker for the feel good stories, but the content from this one was fun enough that I felt like I should share it with you.
🔔🔔 saw the smallest dog among other breeds leads other dogs and i had to go read the story on a chinese news website.
this is insane 😭

🐶 In China, 7 stolen dogs escaped from a butcher’s truck and walked 17 km home led by a corgi!
In Jilin province, seven dogs were stolen for sale at a dog meat market and loaded into a van. But they managed to escape — and what followed looks like a movie.

This is an epic story, the canine equivalent of Xenophon’s Anabasis, when 10,000 Greek hoplites made a perilous journey back to the Black Sea from Persia. In the centuries to come, doggy bards will sing of their heroism. https://t.co/NMRAzChOip

The Corgi was the one leading them home
The German Shepherd was injured
The dogs kept a protective formation around the German Shepherd
The Corgi stopped often to make sure they were still okay
It took them 2 days to get home
They are neighbourhood friends
I’m going to cry😭😭😭 https://t.co/fJaDb4Qgfx— Luna M (@tiredfeminist_) March 23, 2026

I’d really like some insight into how they even managed to escape. On top of that, they managed to walk 10 miles down the road. I feel like humans who got captured couldn’t even get that far.
