An influencer's missing dog, a Border Collie named Chutou, was stolen in Henan province, central China, sold for £19, and later eaten at a restaurant after thieves allegedly mistook it for a stray.
Footage and testimony emerged showing how the eight-year-old dog, owned by Chinese content creator Guo, vanished from his family's farm in Ningling county while he was travelling abroad in Georgia. Chutou had been left under the care of Guo's father.
