Most expensive dog in history

This has gone into history as the most expensive dog. It was bought by a chinese coal baron for a whooping sum of $1.5 million and it cost even more to feed as it goes strictly on an organic diet consisting of tripe, boiled fish heads, powdered egg shells, code liver oil and raw bones. Some of you would be wondering what breed of dog it is, it is a Tibestan Mastiff. Marco Polo described the Tibetan Mastiffs in the 13th century as “tall as a donkey with a voice as powerful as that of a lion.”

 

The Tibetan Mastiff also known as Go-khyi (variously translated as "home guard", "door guard", "dog which may be tied", "dog which may be kept"), reflects its use as a guardian of herds, flocks, tents, villages, monasteries, and palaces, much as the old English ban-dog (also meaning tied dog) was a dog tied outside the home as a guardian. However, in nomad camps and in villages, the Go-khyi is traditionally allowed to run loose at night.^{[citation needed]}
The molosser type with which the modern Tibetan Mastiff breed is purportedly linked was known across the Ancient world by many names. 'Bhote Kukur' in Nepali as "bhotey" means someone from Tibet and "kukur" means dog. In Mandarin Chinese, the name is '藏獒' (Zang'Ao), which literally means 'Tibetan Mastiff' or 'Tibetan "big ferocious dog"'. In Mongolia it is called "bankhar", meaning "guard dog", but there is another type of mastiff in Mongolia called the 'Mongolian Mastiff' (Mongol Bankhar), which is bigger than the Tibetan Mastiff and has a darker color, but is not counted as a breed.
Note that the name Tibetan 'mastiff' is a misnomer. This dog is not a true mastiff, and first got that name when someone observed that it looked like a mastiff; a better name for the dog would be 'Tibetan mountain dog' or, to include the same dogs on the periphery of Tibet: 'Himalayan mountain dog'.
There is also controversy whether the Tibetan mastiff is a molosser ( source: wikipaedia)
