Viral Video: 7 Dogs Escape Kidnappers, Walk 17km to Return Home

Seven dogs in China escaped from kidnappers who had stolen them with the intention of selling them to dog meat markets. The dogs traveled for two days, covering 17 kilometers through roads and fields, led by a Corgi who guided the group and cared for an injured German Shepherd. Videos taken by users who encountered the dogs went viral and helped reunite them with their owners. Police have launched an investigation into the kidnappers and the dog meat trading network. The dogs belong to three families living in the same neighborhood and were already known to each other.
