10 Ways to Eat Your Dog in China

Chinese people love their dogs, but probably not in the same way you do.

Sure, there are some dogs that are purely house pets, but a large number of canines in China are just a meal waiting to happen.

The Chinese find dog to be not only a tasty meal (apparently it tastes similar to pork), but also to be good for the health.
