You may remember that a dog was sold last year for just short of $2 million, well it is absolutely true and now there is a short documentary of the ridiculous sale.
The dog is a Tibetan Mastiff puppy which was unloaded for almost $2 million in China, making it the priciest dog ever purchased.
According to VICE:
Originally domesticated as sheepherding guard dogs in the Tibetan Plateau, these large, puffy-haired, and extremely uncooperative canines are prized by wealthy Chinese for their alleged ferociousness (one zoo even tried to pass a Tibetan Mastiff off as a lion, according to some reports). Over the past decade, Tibetan Mastiffs have become a status symbol for a growing class of new moneyed entrepreneurs. VICE China went to the the 2014 Yidu Tibetan Mastiff Fair in Tianjin to learn more.
To say this is silly would be a gross understatement.
