25 Funny Lost & Found Signs

Most Expensive Dog in the World

By Lucky on September 17th, 2009


A black Tibetan Mastiff named “Yangtze River Number Two” has set the world’s record as the most expensive dog after a Chinese woman paid $582,000 for the “priceless” canine.

The 18-month-old dog arrived at its new owner’s home in a motorcade of 30 luxury cars.  A crowd gathered to celebrate the arrival of the city’s new resident.

The young millionaire woman fell in love with the dog while on a breeding trip to Qinghai province.  She was travelling with a Tibetan Mastiff that she already owned, hoping to find it a mate.  “Gold has a price, but this Tibetan Mastiff doesn’t,” the young woman said when she returned home.

I think we got a much better deal when we paid only $50 to the local shelter for our “priceless” rescue dog.

1,000 Magnets Removed from Dog

By Lucky on September 2nd, 2009

A dog in Australia is recovering from emergency surgery to remove 1,000 magnets from its stomach.

The dog’s owner, Cathy James, said her 11-year-old Australian cattle dog, Polly, swallowed the magnets from her office.  Polly was rushed into surgery the next day when she became very ill.  Polly is expected to make a full recovery.

James said Polly has always been a curious eater, having previously eaten a computer mouse, gardening gloves, large rubber band and several rolls of fax paper.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term “animal magnetism.”
