Activists want dog festival taken off the menu

After being rescued from a truck carrying dogs illegally in July, a three-year-old greyhound received a new name, new owner and new family.

When the dog was found by volunteers from the Vshine Animal Protection Association in Dalian, Liaoning province, it had back injuries and was covered in blood.

It and many other dogs were trucked hundreds of kilometers - six or seven of them stuffed into a crate or small metal cage without food or water and bound for the dinner table.
