A man surnamed Jiang in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province can speak "dog language". Two months ago, he abducted a German Shepherd worth 16,000 yuan (RMB, the same below) because of "dog language" with dogs. After being arrested, the man claimed that he just said a few code words to the dog, and the dog followed him obediently.

According to media reports, Jiang lives in Jiangdong Street, Yiwu. He has many dogs at home. He has had more contact with dogs, and gradually became familiar with the dogs' habits and movements, and can also make sounds that the dogs can understand. As long as he says hello, no matter how ferocious the big dog is, he will follow him obediently.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening on the day when the above-mentioned German shepherd was stolen, Jiang walked on a mountain road alone, climbed over the iron railing and entered the dog farm. Jiang said that he recognized the most expensive German shepherd at a glance and said a few code words to it, and it followed Jiang obediently.

According to the owner of the dog farm named Mao afterwards, the stolen German wolfhound weighed 25 kilograms and was bought in 2011. It was the most expensive dog in the dog farm and could be sold for about 16,000 yuan.

According to reports, Jiang’s family keeps many dogs, sometimes 20 at most, and usually sells the dogs after keeping them for a few months. The police found that there were 6 or 7 dogs of unknown origin in his home, with a total price of about 50,000 yuan.

On January 7, Boss Mao accidentally discovered that someone was selling dogs online. The photo of the dog was very similar to the dog he had lost before, so he called the police.

The police first said they were willing to pay 1,600 yuan to buy the German dog Jiang sold online. When they met for the transaction, they found that the code on the dog's ear was the certificate code of the dog adopted by Boss Mao.

Some netizens pointed out that Jiang had gone astray. If he opened a pet shop to help people train dogs, he would also have legitimate income.
