1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Gold. It's jonesy demand of driving you home.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: You probably have seen this story. It's so heartwarming. It's

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: like a Pixar movie. You can just imagine this being animated.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Seven dogs stolen in China being taken to a meat market,

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: a variety of breeds. Seven of them escaped from the

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: meat truck and walked seventeen kilometers home together. So when

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: they escaped from the truck, they didn't all run off

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: in different directions. It's like a Harry McClary story. They

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: all stayed together. The ring leader or not the ring leader.

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: The guide that guided them all home was the corgy,

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: but all of them formed a protective ring about an

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: around an injured German shepherd. They didn't let the German

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: shepherd get too close to the road. They protected the

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: German shepherd. It is a beautiful story. The dogs have

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: now been reunited with their owners, who are very concerned.

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: This is quite a common practice.

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: What they dogs get abducted.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: Get abducted for the meat market in China. It's illegal,

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: but the practice still persists. This is in northern China.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: It's often linked to winter warmth beliefs, whatever that means.

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, so it's quite extraordinary, that little corgy, until

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: of course they got to the stairs and the corgy could.

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: Go, not.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 4: Little legs. So it's a lovely story.

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: But it makes you think because my dog's never done

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: a runner, but lots of pets do go on incredible journeys.

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I was gifted a turtle

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: or a tortoise.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter water and one's not I think.

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: My grandfather Fred, he was an old bushy in Bendy

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: and he found it.

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: He found it.

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: He said, there, mate, there's a there's a turtle slash tortoise.

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: And I said, oh great.

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: He says, just don't tell your old man and you

38
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: can take it home with you back back when you

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: go up to Sydney.

40
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: So you took it on the plane?

41
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Yes, so dad.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: The old man was an airline pilot, so whenever we

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: were on the plane we had to be on our

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: best behavior. We're like little von Trapp children going on

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: the plane. So Granddad give me the turtle in a

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: box with strict instructions not to tell anyone.

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Did it go through an X ray? In those days,

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: I didn't have to X ray.

49
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: I think it go on with a chainsaw in the

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: good old days. So I've walked out, I've put the

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: turtle under my seat and on the plane.

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: Pop up and special.

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Flying home.

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, this kid says, there's a

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: turtle on the plane. On the plane, and I said,

56
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: what another one? Because someone else has got one? So

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: I had dumb wayam I'm thinking, gee, they'll be in trouble.

58
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 3: And then I looked it in the box. It's gone.

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: No who owns this turtle? Like the old man was

60
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: flying the plane so he didn't know.

61
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: Didn't it also run away from your backyard?

62
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: Yes, that took some time.

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: Did it actually disappear?

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: It disappeared. I never saw it again.

65
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: That would have taken me.

66
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Looked was terrible. I'll go past the old house and

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: it'll still be near the fence, just sitting there.

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: It mustn't have liked you. It tried to escape twice.

69
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: Did you look after it?

70
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I did. I had a frisbee full

71
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: of water which it would drink.

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: And food.

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Are they.

74
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: Are they self saucing?

75
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't have to. They're supposed to live in

76
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: water or not.

77
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Oh see, look I was ten years old.

78
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: I am not to know these things,
