An unbelievably sad video shows a Chinese woman crying over her dead dog as the vets fail to save its life. The video which has gone viral on Facebook is a heartbreaking reminder of what our pets mean to us. Leewen Zhang posted the video of herself and her dead dog on her Facebook page to tell people her story and the brutal way her dog died. She’s warning people of what happened to her so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Leewen Zhang who was originally from Chongqing China moved to San Francisco and got a Golden Retriever puppy. The puppy was 2 months old when Zhang started to take care of her.

Zhang named it Julie and considered it her “best friend and baby”. The dog became her assistance dog, authorized by California.

Zhang moved back to Chongqing China to stay for a year before she headed off to Europe. The dog was 7 years old at the time and was suffering from heart failure. The dog had a year and a half to live. So Zheng decided to move her dog to a cleaner environment in the neighborhood of Yubei. She thought, “it would be helpful for her(dog) heart and health.” But the neighborhood was unfriendly to dogs. Zhang wrote in a post that,

“We’ve moved in this place for 5 months. But have already heard a lot of people hate dogs here, they curse dogs, they make groups to discuss how to kill dogs… what they think is, the environment should only for kids, not for any dogs. I have a neighbor used to abuse me and threatened me for over 4 times that he will kill my dog and all the golden retrievers. I even once called police.”

But Zheng never thought the people would act on it. Besides, she was going to leave China for Europe after Chinese New Year. So Zheng didn’t think much of it, but on October 14, 7:30 pm her dog died. She believes that her dog was poisoned by rat poison stuffed in chicken meat by her neighbors, who she calls “evil people.” Zheng wrote,

“I didn’t pay much attention on it, thought just any food trash. until 6pm in the evening, after I fed her dinner. she suddenly start to scream, cry and vomit, poo blood. I was so panic and keep crying. We both were scared. Julie looked at me with fear, we both knew that she might not be able to get through this time. But she still tried her best until she died in another 30 minutes.”

Zheng went into deep depression for a week after her best friend died. But she got the strength to get out of bed to fight for her dog. She went to the police for help but they didn’t offer any. They said dog poisoning is just a thing that happens here and there are no laws to protect animals. Zheng wrote,

“It’s been one week after her death. I am still in deep grief and now I am ready to speak for Julie and for all the animals. The police told me, there’s no law for protecting animals, they told me hundreds of dogs die by poison everyday, No law to punish the evils. So they have nothing to do with it. I told them: There’s no animal laws in China now, doesn’t mean there will not be in the future! Animal’s lives are fragile doesn’t mean anyone can violate and kill them with their own wish!

Every life is equal and precious. But it’s NOT in China! This is not right!! This must be changed!!”

So Zheng went on Facebook to tell her story and is urging people to repost her post so that the message can be spread that this is unacceptable behavior. Zheng wrote,

“I need your help and support, to give me advice how I can spread around this voice to more people around the world. How I can reach out to higher authority organization to let them hear animal’s cry! I need your help to repost this!! Julie’s death is sacred. I will not surrender by the current situation. No matter how many difficulties ahead, or even the devils want to kill me. I will keep fighting for animal right.”

Julie has canceled her trip to Europe and for the foreseeable future plans to stay in China to fight for animal rights. However, at this time, she is moving to another neighborhood in China because she has “reported the killer” and that she “fears for her safety.” Full message below:
