There is a lost dog on Yongkang Road

Help

I'm visiting Shanghai, staying in the French Concession. If you love dogs please read this.

There's a friendly white dog who has apparently been abandoned near Yongkang Road, I've seen him three times so far. I don't know what breed he is, but he looks like a purebreed. The first two times I saw him he was chasing after motorbikes, when I saw him for the third time tonight he was nosing through some garbage and obviously hungry. I bought a barbecue skewer and offered it to him, he devoured it.

If anyone can take in a good dog, he seems to hang around the Revolucion/Sailors end of Yongkang Lu.

That's probably Ralph you're talking about. He has a home and an owner. He was a stray and now lives at Zapfler. Don't worry about him he's fine!

Thanks, another animal saved from the clutches of the classic 'laowai kidnap of love'

C'mon didn't you read what lulz said? The dog was obviously hungry and DEVOURED a Barbecue skewer he bought him.

If that's not conclusive proof of the dog's abandonment what is?!

Please stop feeding my dog. The reason he wanders is because all the laowai giving him food on the street. Trying to kick his begging habit.

My dogs will happily devour any given "treats" from anyone and they are well feed and taken care of.

I am sad that the long art of reading and understanding sarcasm has died.

The dog was frantically chasing after two different motorbikes, running after them through intersections. I saw it happen twice two nights in a row, that's why I think he's abandoned. If he's not that's fucking fantastic news.

I've looked after dogs before and when I say he devoured it it's because I've seen how hungry dogs respond to food. Your cynicism is misplaced.

You made a judgment based on a tiny amount of evidence.

Your intervention is not needed.

Your intervention would cause problems for the real owners.

I can just imagine you working for social services. "Your child has eaten the snickers I offered them, obviously they are starving and neglected and must be taken away from you for their own safety".

My bosses dog is an ex rescue and acts the same, I've zero experience with dogs but I've seen first hand they will scoff anything they give you!! No matter if they're full or not!!! I also foster cats for SCAA, and ex street cats (whether born there or dumped there) don't give up on their scrounging skills!!

Recently the charity SCAA saved a kitten from being drowned by two ayis on Yongkang Lu, they'd also tried to strangle it with a plastic bag.

I work near there so walk down it every day, one of the greatest culture clashes in Shanghai along that street in my view, and I do see lots of doggies apparently lost/dumped.

The kitten is up for adoption at the next SCAA adoption day at Shanghai Brewery if anyone wants to meet Minka!
