I saw that too. While I have no desire to eat a dog, in some cultures it is fine. Hindus worship cows and they thought of eating one repulses them more than the thought of Collie on the menu for us. I don't see any real difference between killing a dog and eating it and killing a chicken or pig. It is all about what you are used to.
The conditions for the animals were bad, and there is some debate whether they were stolen from pet owners. Other than those two situations, this seems like a feel-good story that is more about cultural (un)awareness.
