A Chinese woman known only as Mrs. Wang has purchased a Tibetan Mastiff dog for a whopping $582,135!
The mysterious buyer, known only as Mrs. Wang, first met the dog while traveling China’s Qinghai province, and has another Tibetan Mastiff that she plans to breed with the new 18-month old pup. The new dog, whose name was White Root, was renamed Yangtze River Number Two. The dog and its new owner were met at Xi’an airport by a motorcade of 30 luxury cars and ready-made fans waving banners and signs to welcome him to his new home.
Mrs. Wang managed to break the world record with her purchase, as the prior most expensive dog, a cloned Labrador, went for “only” $155,000.
About the purchase, Ms Wang said, “Gold has a price, but this Tibetan mastiff doesn’t.”
The Tibetan Mastiff is a very old breed and have been used for centuries as guard dogs.
