There is still a long way to victory but this incident makes us feel hopeful nonetheless. 

Recently, at a meat vendor's shop at Kunming’s Xiaobanqiao Market, animal lovers paid the vendor to release the dog that was being prepared for a certain death. One of the rescuers Xu told MailOnline that a dozen of volunteers raised 14,450 yuan (£1,612) to purchase the golden retriever among 20 other dogs.

Associated with Kunming’s Sanhe Animal Protection Centre, the volunteers had visited the market while looking for a lost pet when they stumbled upon the caged dogs.

One golden retriever among them seemingly burst into 'tears of gratitude'. However, according to vet Wang Zaigo, the dog had undergone an eye checkup which may have been the reason behind its tears.

Seventeen of the total rescued dogs have found adoptive owners and that's what matters the most. Kudos to the volunteers who are rescuing dogs from a trade that knows no mercy towards animals.
