There's No Chinese Restaurant Serving Dog Meat in Coral Springs

There is a story that has been circulating on social media since December of last year. The viral story claims that a Chinese restaurant was shut down after the purchase of dog meat after a two month operation by an undercover police officer. This is simply not true and the Coral Springs Police Department of Coral Springs, Florida has been debunking this story on its Facebook page ever since. The alleged restaurant in question, China Chow, is non-existent and additionally, there is no restaurant located at the stated intersection. The Associated Press has released statements debunking the story and claims it is an old urban legend recirculated.

The original poorly written and edited post from the fake news site Gummy Post is as follows:
