Apologies if posted already. This is at least as good as most of the other total garbage linked to on this forum.

The dog is not the only interesting thing about this clip. Look at the bikes and the clothing of the other 'racers'.

    very good, hehe but should the headline be 'china bike race joined by tomorrows meal.' :D
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I'll try again. I am crossing my fingers that the BR server made a mistake and that BR is not in cahoots with the Chinese!!

    Cute dog story...except I cannot get around the fact that the trade in Ivory, Rhino Horn and Tiger bones is a direct result of Chinese demand. Butchering finite resources for 'medicinal' and vanity purposes. All very well to adopt a cute dog whilst they are wreaking environmental and humanitarion havoc. Take more than a cute dog story to change my perception of them.

    I wasn't trying to change your perception about anything.

    Just thought the spirited dog was fairly cute.

    Jesus, sometimes it's just about a cute dog, no need to get all political.

    What, specifically the people in the video?! Nothing like a bit of sweeping generalisation.

    Jim453 - Its not personal and I did not mean it to be, I did find the story endearing.

    bartman100 - The collective (Chinese) do not give a monkeys about lots of things apart from expansion and wealth, so I found the story rather ironical.
