Abstract

On 22/23 June 2013, The International Herald Tribune (now The International New York Times) ran a lead story on its front page under the title ‘Endangered Species in Beijing: Big Dogs’. The newspaper reports that a boisterous six-year-old golden retriever with tousled strawberry blond hair and a weakness for boiled carrots, Dou Dou, hardly looks like Public Enemy no. 1, but his unmistakable likeness began appearing on wanted posters across the Chinese capital; the police were ‘scouring the gated apartment complex where he lives, hunting for him and other fugitive canines in a campaign that is striking fear into the hearts of otherwise law-abiding Beijingers.’1
