According to testimonials, seven Dogs in China walked a total of 17 kilometers on a highway after allegedly escaping from a dognapper. The group included what witnesses claimed to be an injured German Shepherd, whom the other Dogs were seemingly guarding, as well as a Corgi, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Pekingese Dogs.

A witness uploaded a video of the Dogs on the social media platform Douyin, urging local authorities to help. The video went viral and captured the hearts of netizens.

According to a report by South China Morning Post, the Dogs came from the same village, which might explain why they had a strong bond.
