One man and his 140 dogs

One man and his 140 dogs

Li Zongwen is a former chef from Wuhan and loves dogs so much he has taken in 140 stray dogs from the outskirts of the city. The 59-year-old man began adopting strays from the streets of Wuhan two years ago. He gives them shelter in his own home but admits he couldn't afford to feed all of them, without donations from other local animal lovers. He receives donations from other dog lovers in the area to feed the animals. And he's got a lot of mouths to feed.

He prepares a big bowl of dog chow using a garden shovel, and eats his own meals in their company.

Walkies must be a nightmare and dealing with the poop almost unimaginable because Li takes care of over 140 of the animals in his home in China.

Food and rent for the house costs 5000 yuan (about £480) each month, which is covered by people donating money to Mr Li.

The dogs have been living with him in his house since 2009 and Mr Li even eats his dinner surrounded by his canine friends.
