Year of the Dog looking even more auspicious for Shandong canines

On Feb 8, a week before Chinese New Year, an anonymous donor sent 6 tons of dog food to a stray dog facility in Yantai, Shandong province, which was a big relief for Wang Chunhong who runs the rescue center.

"With this food, we don't need to worry about them not eating during the holiday," said Wang, who estimated that the donated food was worth at least 30,000 yuan ($4,760).

Food, rental, healthcare and epidemic prevention costs and other incidentals largely originate from charitable donations, said Wang, who founded the center.
