A Tibetan mastiff called Yangtze River Number Two is believed to have broken the world record as the most expensive dog, having been sold to a Chinese woman for a reported four million yuan (£350,000).

"Lavish displays of spending are not rare among China’s rich. But excesses of dog ownership have already started to become a source of tension. The authorities in Shanghai are considering banning pets from many public places. In Guangzhou, which hosts next year’s Asian Games, a “one-dog policy” has been imposed on families. "
