A mystery Swedish billionaire has offered a reward of 10,670 euros (NT$462,000) for the return of a stolen dog.
“To steal a poor dog, that’s really low. With this money, the robbers can buy a lot of dogs,” the anonymous billionaire said.
The dog, named Bamse, is a seven-year-old crossbreed. It was stolen three weeks ago from its owners Maina and Lars Ullstrand in eastern Sweden.

The couple were overjoyed when they heard the news of the anonymous donor’s reward.
“It’s nice to know that there is someone out there who cares about us. It makes me want to cry,” Maina Ullstrand said.(AFP)
一位神秘的瑞典億萬富翁開出一萬零六百七十歐元（約合新台幣四十六萬兩千元）的賞金，懸賞一隻失竊的小狗。
這位匿名的億萬富翁說：「去偷一隻孱弱的小狗，實在很卑劣。這筆錢應該可以讓偷狗賊買一卡車小狗了。」
失竊的狗狗名叫邦塞，是一隻七歲大的雜種狗。三週前牠在瑞典東部被竊，牠的飼主是拉斯．爾斯特朗德和老婆麥娜。
這對夫婦夜以繼日地尋找愛犬，滿心期望牠的歸來。
六十歲的拉斯．爾斯特朗德對報導這起竊案的報紙表示：「我們完全絕望了，牠就像是我們的孩子。」

麥娜．爾斯特朗德說：「很高興知道有人在默默關心我們，我忍不住想要落淚。」

In 2023, an 80-year-old woman in Taipei suffocated her paralyzed son after over five decades of caring for him. Turning herself in immediately, she confessed that worsening health and anxiety about who would care for him after her death had driven her to act.
