Homeward bound, China edit: 7 dogs make 17kms journey back home

Forget the movies – this real-life canine heist is better than anything Disney could script. In a jaw-dropping display of ‘dogged’ determination, seven stolen pups managed to leap from a moving truck in China, staging a high-stakes escape that would make Houdini proud. But the getaway was only the beginning. Banding together as a furry fellowship, the pack navigated 17 kilometres of busy highway traffic in Changchun, Jilin province, to find their way home. The incredible journey was captured by a local netizen named Lu, whose footage of the determined pack marching along the shoulder has since gone viral. Defying the odds (and the chaos of a provincial highway), every single one of them made it back safely to their owners.

Seven dogs, guided by a courageous corgi, trekked 17 kilometers to find their way back home. Reacting to the incredible story, fans are already calling on Disney or Pixar to turn this epic journey into an animated movie.

The great escape (with teamwork, of course)
The dogs – including breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Pekinese dogs – reportedly escaped from an illegal transport vehicle and stuck together as they made their journey home, led by a determined corgi. A passerby spotted the group walking along the highway and shared videos online, where they were seen moving as a pack and even pausing to interact with curious onlookers.
