A dog owner in China who promised a reward of 10mil yuan (RM6.34mil) to whoever found his lost pet has ignited controversy on social media after he went back on his word, offering only a few thousand yuan instead.

The owner, surnamed Yang, posted a notice on July 9 stating that his eight-year-old pet, “Tianlang”, which he said was a retired military dog, went missing the night before near the Beilong Lake area of Zhengzhou, capital of the central province of Henan.
