I dove deep into this heartwarming story of seven stolen dogs that escaped and walked 17km home - here are the key verified facts in concise points:

The Theft:
Seven dogs from the same village in Jilin Province, China were stolen from their owners. They were loaded onto a truck heading to an illegal dog meat shop.

The Escape:
During transport, the dogs jumped or fell from the moving vehicle onto the Changshuang Expressway. Instead of scattering, they stuck together as a tight pack.

The Epic Journey:
Over two days they covered around 17 km across highways and fields. A small corgi led from the front, constantly glancing back and adjusting pace to keep everyone together. Larger dogs formed a protective ring around an injured German Shepherd.

The Rescue:
Locals and rescuers tracked the group in real time via viral social media posts and drone footage until they safely intercepted the entire pack.

Happy Ending:
All seven dogs were reunited with their grateful owners in the same village after vet checks. Only minor injuries despite the fall, traffic, and long trek. These neighbourhood friends already played together daily, which helped them stay united.

This real-life “Homeward Bound” adventure led by one brave little corgi has gone mega-viral for showing incredible loyalty and teamwork.

Dogs really are the best.

John Coltrane only played “A Love Supreme” live a few times, and this rare video from 1965 live in Antibes, France, is one of them.

You don't need someone to look down on.

It seems like there is not enough of a policy response to the fact that, with 57M miles of data, Waymo’s autonomous vehicles experience 85% less serious injuries & 79% less injuries overall than cars with human drivers.

Our paper on the long-term effects of Trump 2.0 tariffs is published in the JIE (open access link below).

TLDR: While tariffs may deliver short-term revenues & welfare gains for the US, the long-term cost of undermining global cooperation is enormous.
