    Stray dog finds a fantastic way to get into a new home

    Has anyone else read about Xiaosa, the little stray dog who took up with a group of Chinese byciclists and ran over 1,000 km at their side? If you haven't, click here to see a video of Xiaosa running with the bikers and his new owner giving him a snuggle.

    What a great story! And he's such a little guy, those legs have to move at amazing speeds, and he looks completely happy doing it - and still has enough energy to chase the pigeons at the end!

    I did see the story & video of the dog following the bicycle riders. They mentioned that the pup
    was to be adopted, but they didn't show who the lucky person was. I love the story.

    OMGosh, I wasn't expecting such a small dog.

    The man talking at the end (Xiao Yong) is the one taking him. He said he's taken a liking to him and he's taking him home with him.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh my - what a little trooper! So glad that he now has a home. It's stories like this, that really warm my heart.

    Aww, what a trooper he is. So glad one of the cyclists is taking him home - I bet he will be spoiled as he deserve.

    What a great story! I love the shot where they are pouring water for him to drink
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
