Shanghai resident says she is too busy to give pet companionship, even pays for a ‘school bus’ to pick up and drop off the animal
A young Chinese woman has spent an eye-watering 12,000 yuan (US$1,700) to enrol her six-month-old Samoyed in a dog kindergarten due to her busy work schedule.
The woman opted for a package that includes personality testing, behaviour training, social activities and even a school bus for pickup and drop-off.
The woman, who uses the pseudonym Taotao, was born in the 1990s, and is based in Shanghai.
She said that due to a lack of time to provide enough companionship, she enrolled her six-month-old Samoyed in a “dog kindergarten” for training.
“I am usually too busy with work and do not have much time to keep it company,” Taotao told Cover News.
