A man surnamed Kang would like to give away his Tibetan mastiff in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, because he cannot afford to feed the dog.

Kang said he spends more than 30,000 yuan (about $4,300) a year to feed three-month-old Niu Niu. Kang has to buy more than 40 yuan worth of meat, other food and calcium to feed the dog every day.

All Kang expects of the new owner is that he or she love and understand the dog.

Kang said he would visit Niu Niu's new home before turning the dog over to its new master.
