Beijing/Hong Kong CNN —Married for seven years, Hansen and his wife Momo care for six little ones at their apartment in downtown Beijing.
By 2030, the number of pets in urban China alone will almost double the number of young children across the country, according to its projection.
The country’s pet ownership rate would be even higher if the number of dogs and cats in rural areas were included.
Its birth rate also dipped to 6.39 births per 1,000 people, the lowest rate since the founding of Communist China in 1949.
I think it’s just that we love dogs,” Hansen said.
