Yang, 31, from Tianjin City in northern China, was once a prosperous construction boss with assets exceeding 10 million yuan (US$1.4 million).

However, in 2020, his business faced a devastating collapse. In a bid to honour his commitments and pay his employees, he sold nearly all of his possessions, including his house and two cars.

After declaring bankruptcy, Yang resolved to dedicate his life to ensuring that dogs receive the love and care they deserve, a passion ignited by the heartbreak of losing five puppies to illness during his childhood.

Starting with only 10 dogs and no staff in 2020, Yang has now rescued over 200 dogs and gathered 8,000 volunteers, with aspirations to expand further in the future. Photo: Interviewees/Baidu

With his own savings, Yang began rescuing stray dogs and eventually established a modest shelter that initially housed 10 dogs. At first, he managed the operations single-handedly, without any volunteers.
