A woman who has lost her adored family pet is so distraught that she has offered HER HOUSE to anyone who can find it.

Mrs Liu, who lived alone in Beijing with her beloved dog, has put posters up in her local area with a picture of the dog and a promise that anyone who finds him can have her property in exchange, worth around £420,000.

But it seems that the 70 year old's 'lost' posters and online adverts have attracted attention for all the wrong reasons, reports Beijing Youth Daily.

Calls have been flooding in about people finding the dog - except it's always the wrong dog.

In some cases, the callers are offering false clues and even disguising dogs in an attempt to bag the property.

What started as a heartfelt search may yet end in heartbreak.

Liu's nephew revealed: "We are fed up with the false calls and are thinking of giving up the search."
