AFP thinks this is the highest price ever
paid for a dog, and no wonder: A
property developer in China shelled out
$2 million for a Tibetan mastiff puppy.
A second puppy of the same breed went
for about $1 million. The sale came at a
“luxury pet” fair in Zhejiang, with the
breeder boasting that these dogs “have
lion’s blood and are top-of-the-range
mastiff studs.”
The gigantic furballs dobear a
resemblance to lions, so much so that
a zoo in China got caught trying to pass
one off as such. But $2 million for a
dog? Given that the money came from
a developer, MarketWatch thinks it’s
further proof of a China property
bubble.
