A millionaire in northern China paid four million yuan ($600,000) for a dog and ordered 30 luxury cars to come to the airport to greet her and the animal, local media reported. The woman and her new pet - a black Tibetan Mastiff - flew into Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi province, a report on popular news portal sohu.com said. A convoy of 30 black Mercedes-Benz cars, led by two sports utility vehicles, drove to the airport to pick up the pair, who had arrived from the Tibetan-populated province of Qinghai in China’s northwest. Photos of the event posted with the report showed a committee of dog-lovers holding up a long red banner welcoming the mastiff to Xi’an. The millionaire, who only gave her surname as Wang, said she and a friend had spent a long time searching for an original Tibetan mastiff. afp
