Man Builds $500,000 House For His Dog

February 19, 2019 by

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

This Chinese man wanted his dog to have a better childhood than he did — so he built a $500,000 mansion for it.

Your initial reaction to this story might be to assume this man is ultra rich and he’s wasting half-a-million dollars into a glorified dog house, but that’s not the case. Zhou Tianxiao grew up poor in Beijing with his grandmother after his parents left him. Tianxiao dropped out of middle school and spent his days playing video games and drinking. Then one day, Tianxiao bought Sylar and everything changed. This is their heartwarming story.
