A mysterious Chinese millionaire known only as Mrs. Wang purchased a black Tibetan Mastiff named Yangtze River Number Two for the hefty price of £352,000 (4 million yuan). With Yangtze River Number Two's purchase he became the world's most expensive dog.

the 18-month-old dog arrived at its new owner’s home in stupendously excessive style. A motorcade of 30 luxury cars cruised to the airport in Xi’an to take delivery of Yangtze. Enchanted onlookers gathered to fête the arrival of the city’s new resident.

Mrs. Wang, the young millionaire, apparently fell in love with Yangtze River Number Two while on a breeding trip to Qinghai province.

“Gold has a price, but this Tibetan Mastiff doesn’t,” the young woman reportedly said on her return home.

Dogs may be man (and woman's) best friend but when you have to pay serious cash for a friend is it worth it? What do you think?
