[StayingPower]

He 'trilled' when I first lifted him up. He jumped in my other dogs' cardboard box I placed outside the apartment, the only place I could keep my new-found pup, the stray wanting warmth. I thought my landlord would kill me, I adopting another homeless street dog. For both it was mid-January, pouring rain, the stray dog's ribs showing, scared stiff.

I saw his ribs, and prayed, Help him, Lord! This happened the day before-as I saw everyone shoo him away. He was a little jin-huangse, tu-gou. But I knew Sunny to be an abandoned stray.

He loves chldren, so I suspect he was at once loved. Perhaps he scratched, chewed, was a threat to the family, or its child. Then again, I live by a riverside park, much space, abandoned dog's paradise.

He's now alive, the most jaunty of dogs I've ever known. He suffers 'separatation anxiety', will howl if I leave him tied up somewhere. So I bought a cage for him, along with my other dog, to keep him company, outside. It's the only place, but he's safe.

He's safe because I saw a dog bludgeoned to death, drowned, floating in a plastic bab, along the same river I walk my dogs. He, or she, was a da-hae(big black,) one who had a mate, accompanied us on our nightly excursions(someone's tired of this scenario, abandoned dogs in their neighborhood.) Then there's 'sleepy'-disappeared-and 'fluffy', and 'droopy'.

I could've said that "I would like to have a dog, but. . ."

I found this dog's worth NT 60,000, minus me.

Yeah, the Chinese are pretty cold and cruel when it comes to dogs and cats; pets in general.

Not part of the family, are they.

Instead, more like the equivalent of a Louis Vuiton or Prada handbag.

Saddening.
