Seven dogs, including a corgi as the leader, were stolen from the same village in Changchun, Jilin province, northeastern China. They escaped and walked roughly 17 km over 2 days, before being tracked via social media by volunteers and rescuers, and safely returned to their owners. Location and background: They were loaded onto a truck headed for an illegal dog meat shop. The escape: While the truck was moving on the Changshuang Expressway, the dogs broke out (biting through restraints or falling/jumping from the vehicle). They landed on or near the highway around March 16, 2026. The journey: Instead of scattering, the group stuck tightly together for ~2 days, covering roughly 17 km across busy highways and fields. The corgi repeatedly looked back to guide and check on the others, while the bigger dogs protected the injured German Shepherd in the middle. They ignored strangers trying to approach and kept heading in the direction of home (they were already known to each other as neighborhood playmates). Outcome: Netizens and animal rescue volunteers spotted the viral clips, tracked the pack via social media updates, and helped intercept them. By around March 19, all seven dogs were safely returned to their owners in the same village. Vets found only minor injuries.
