You are now looking at the worlds most expensive dog.
Meet "Big Splash," an 11 month old Tibetan Mastiff. He was purchased by a private buyer in China for 10 million yuan, which is just over $1.5 million dollars.
I guess Tibetan mastiffs are considered status symbols that represent affluence in Chinese culture, which could explain the ridiculously high price tag. This particular mastiff has been labeled "a perfect specimen."
Personally? I think it looks like some sort of wonky bear-lion gone wrong. However, my idea of the 'perfect specimen' is a cat. Any cat.
