Wang is a Chinese millionaire who lost his dog a few years ago. He spent all his fortune to save homeless dogs.
A Chinese millionaire named Wang Yan who runs a steel company in Changchun City, China, lost his dog in 2012 and has long sought it without result.
It was when he visited a slaughterhouse as a last resort; the horrors he saw there prompted him to spend all his fortune to save dogs from these places.
China has a large population of stray dogs that unfortunately end up in places like this, to be sold to the meat trade. Wang wanted to help in tribute to his missing pet.

Instead, he found horrible scenes that he could not get out of his mind. The grief he felt for these dogs who were about to be slaughtered for their meat prompted him to buy the slaughterhouse and set up a rescue center.
The man bought an abandoned steel mill and finally built a shelter for stray dogs.
Wang, who ran a steel empire, built the animal rescue center in Changchun City, Jinlin Province, northeastern China, where he spent millions to save more than 2,000 stray dogs from the slaughterhouse, reports The People’s Daily Online.
In an interview with Metro, the man explained that he had invested $400,000 in the slaughterhouse and that the expenses of the shelter came out of his own pocket.
Wang added:
“I don’t accept cash donations, I just hope that people with good hearts can donate supplies to help. »

Since the shelter began operating, Wang has borne all expenses with his own money. He has gone into debt by providing food and medical treatment to treat dogs, but he does so with great willpower and love for animals.
Most of the dogs in the rescue center have been adopted by loving families.
Up to 10,000 dogs, including stolen dogs, are euthanized each year in China, in the Guangxi zhuang region, to commemorate the summer solstice during the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.
