Heart-breaking moment five-year-old girl finds her missing pet dog Flower... being sold ready-cooked at Vietnamese stall

This is a nightmare moment for any dog owner: recognising their missing pets served in a roast shop. And it just happened to a five-year-old from northern Vietnam.

A picture of a little girl crying by a dog she believed to be her pet has quickly gone viral on the internet, according to People's Daily Online.

The unidentified girl is reported to be living in the countryside of northern Vietnam. She had raised a dog 'Flower' for three years and was deeply saddened when her beloved pet went missing mysteriously.

She had spent great effort searching for 'Flower', but in vain.

A few days later, when the child passed by a local dog meat stall, she instantly recognised a dog which was lain on the street and had already been cooked.

'That's Flower,' cried the girl while rushing over to the dog.

The picture breaks the heart of hundreds of thousands on the internet.

Many lament that the tragedy is too much for a five-year-old to bear and appeal for a ban on the consumption of dog meat.

Dog meat is treated as a delicacy in several Asian countries, including Korea, Vietnam and China.

A documentary made by Channel 4 last autumn revealed that seven tonnes of live dogs are shipped to the nation's capital Hanoi every day with one slaughter house owner saying he killed up to 30 dogs a day.

Many of these dogs are pets stolen from gardens and front porches at night.

Well I say it's time we start making commodities out of dogs, then that way we can out price them so that only Rich Vietnamese can afford to eat dogs.
It worked wonders with Fish, Chicken, Beef and fresh produce. Rent seekers are gonna seek!

How dare they try to eat spite the global economic conditions, why don't they just shut up and go hungry?
