Dà Pàng (Chinese: 大胖 meaning "Big Fat") is a Welsh Corgi residing in a village near Changchun in Jilin, China.[1][2] Da Pang is known for allegedly leading a pack of seven stolen pet dogs who supposedly escaped from a truck being used for meat trade. Their journey was reportedly 17 kilometres (10.5 miles) long.[1][2]
The whole story was later depicted as false. All of the dogs belonged to villagers who lived a few kilometers from the highway where they were filmed, according to the Chinese state-owned City Evening News, which tracked down the owners. The German shepherd had been in heat, which is why other dogs were drawn to it, the owners said. [3]
Internet video
A video, first posted on March 15 by a resident whose surname is Lu, depicted a Welsh Corgi allegedly leading a pack of seven dogs along a busy freeway. Among the dogs are an injured German Shepherd, a Golden Retriever, a Labrador, and a Pekingese. It has since received 230 million views.[1]
