Chinese couple running dog shelter walk down aisle flanked by canines, delighting many
After going bankrupt, Yang commits himself to ensuring that dogs receive the love and care they rightfully deserve
A man in China, who operates a dog shelter, celebrated his wedding alongside his beloved rescued dogs, bringing joy to many on social media.
Yang, 31, from Tianjin City in northern China, was once a prosperous construction boss with assets exceeding 10 million yuan (US$1.4 million).
However, in 2020, his business faced a devastating collapse. In a bid to honour his commitments and pay his employees, he sold nearly all of his possessions, including his house and two cars.
After declaring bankruptcy, Yang resolved to dedicate his life to ensuring that dogs receive the love and care they deserve, a passion ignited by the heartbreak of losing five puppies to illness during his childhood.
With his own savings, Yang began rescuing stray dogs and eventually established a modest shelter that initially housed 10 dogs. At first, he managed the operations single-handedly, without any volunteers.
