A tell all article about a man in China describes, in great detail, the agony that ensued when an Liu Lin shaved their dog Si Si, to make him more comfortable for the summer. Si Si was far from pleased and “has been making this known to Liu by hiding under the sofas, beds and tables and by eating very little.” It is said that he is now under a vet’s care. The article is truly compelling and is a touching portrait of the small dog as a young man. What? Exactly.

Also, coming to us from China. A man in central China bit a dog to death while rescuing his own puppy from the animal. Geng was out patrolling his watermelon fields when he spotted a large dog holding his puppy in its mouth. Geng threw several watermelons at the large dog but his attempts were in vain. It was later revealed that, “Geng is famous in the village for usually biting others when in a fight, villagers said.” Needless to say, his puppy survived.

I’ll drink to that:
