More than 20 years ago, Wuhan's Pang Gui page lost a dog named Good Will.
In the search for a good boy, she picked up a lot of stray dogs. Later, there was an increasing number of dogs, ranging from dozens to hundreds, not only from Wuhan but also from across the country.
Finally, she gave up her business and saved the dog full time. They also set up, at their own expense, a rural stray dog base, which last year adopted over 400.
The Pan Gui page describes the fact that for 20 years, most of its savings and energy have been spent on saving and raising dogs, which cost 1.2 million a year. She owed over $600,000 for saving the dog and less time for her family. In 2018, she mortgaged her son ' s house in order to repay her debt.
Now she is also growing older and intends to take care of the dogs at hand and bring them to their end, without further relief.

Nine-Six News: How did we start saving stray dogs?
Pan Gui: I went out looking for a dog 20 years ago when our family bought it. You don't know about dogs. You don't know about dogs.
It was winter, and I picked up the dog first, thinking it was so small that it was either frozen or starved to death outside. Someone left the dogs at my door and on my way to work. Without food, it's possible to sweep the streets and throw it away. How does that happen? The more your dog doesn't find it, the more the others pick it up.
Nine-part news: Did you like dogs that way before?
Pan Gui: It's mostly because it's very small when you buy it back. It's short feet. It's amazing. Lots of dogs can't beat it. It's smart, it opens locks, it makes mistakes, it shrunk into the corner, and then it'll come back.
Twenty years ago, the dog had no rope. He ran away twice, for seven days, for 13 days. The second time I lost it, everyone said I'd never come back, but I dreamed it was back when it was 12 days away. I told my friends my family is coming back tomorrow. They say it's bullshit. Then he came back. But it was lost.
Nine-Six News: How exactly do we rescue stray dogs?
Pan Gui: When I picked up the second dog, my family didn't like the dog, and I said, "No, I'm renting my own house outside, so I put the dog there." I rented a three-storey private room to help the dogs. I lived alone. Up to 60 dogs.
Then I had a friend who was close to me. He had a hill, and when he knew about my condition, he said I could put the dog on his hill and hire someone to feed him. Then the road got longer. I'll have time, add a lot of groups, and start saving dogs all over the country. Whenever there's a volunteer out there, we take the train or a car.
I remember when a lot of cars pulled dogs to Guangxi Yulin, and we stopped. One of the biggest failures was the car that went from Shashila to Guangxi, where we took our lives to stop the car. He stopped it four times. It didn't stop. After that, I turned the whole country back. I was really depressed. Then a lot of people persuaded me, and it took me a month to recover.
Some dogs need an anesthesia master. Help!
Nine-Six News: Did you ever touch a dog when you were helping?
Pan Gui: Yes. Let's go see if the dog's close. When you're going to save him, turn around and talk to him. Dogs can hear people. Some dogs can't save you. And not all the strong dogs are too close. I saved two Rowenas and nine Devlins, none of which were bitten. But some dogs bit me, not necessarily directly related to the species.
Nine stories: How do we get these hot dogs back?
Pan Gui: For example, if it bites, I won't get it easy, and I won't let it be with other dogs. I wouldn't risk it to bite me. It's usually a blow job. Slowly, he'll get to know him. Sometimes a stray dog bites and goes in with a little cop made of bamboo, and you have it in your hand to prevent it from hitting. Usually dogs don't bite you with sticks.
Nine stories: Will these rescue dogs let go of adoption?
Pan Gui page: It's also available, but not all dogs can be adopted. I first have to know how much a pound of dog meat is outside, first I have to charge a deposit at a higher cost than dog meat, and I have to ask for IDs and an agreement. I'll give you the deposit back, not a penny.
Nine stories: Why save dogs?
Pan Gui: When you have a dog, your heart is different. The dog's eyes are simple. I won't talk to anyone about much of what's in our minds, but sit next to the dog, hold the dog, there's something I can tell them. But many of us who help dogs like this regret walking this way, and I wouldn't do that again. Too bitter.
I feel sorry for my family.
Nine pie news: How?
Pan Gui: I'm sorry about my family. After the rescue, there was really no effort to do anything else, all on the dogs, and the family suffered a lot. My grandson came with me at the age of one to rescue the dog, missing for three hours. Think about it. I was trying to save the dog. I lost my grandson.
My brother and sister didn't support me, but they didn't stop me. My kid didn't help me much, but I went to the dog or anything, and he didn't object to me, and he didn't complain to me. I told my kids I wouldn't find you, I wouldn't ask you to leave me alone. Before my dad died, my brother didn't let me see him the last time he died. We haven't been together since.
Nine stories: Why do dogs choose between dogs and family?
Pan Guiu: You may not understand because you do not have dogs. After saving the dog, every helper chose to leave the house.
Nine stories: 'Cause dogs need you more?
Pan Gui: Yeah. Their eyes are simple, either you don't save them, you save them, or you leave them to live. It's been a long time. A lot of people in our group are basically homeless.
Nine-part news: Heard you sold your son's house?
Pan Gui: Yes, 980,000. The house had previously been sold without his consent and had not followed normal procedures and had been mortgaged directly. My son didn't say anything. I've never had a temper with either of my sons.
Nine stories: 980,000 for how long?
Pan Gui: I'm telling you, $1.2 million a year for medicine. For example, if a dog gets sick and doesn't go to a hospital, I can't stand it, but it costs money. It's like I came back from Anhui to save the dog, and it costs $20,000, or a discount in a familiar hospital. A lot of hospitals know I'm a real helper, and there's a doctor who's charged me $5,000 the other day.
Nine-Six News: Did the rescue dog bring you anything?
Pan Gui page: Nothing really came. We are at the bottom of society. A lot of helpers, used to be businessmen, rich people, came to this point. Nothing good, really.
I started welding when I was 15. I haven't been doing business since '98. I've been working on everything. After saving the dog, it's all dogs. Many people don't understand, say we're crazy, so who are we talking to? Don't talk about it. Only dogs can accompany you. Dogs don't leave you alone.
Nine-Six News: Want to give up?
Pan Gui: No way. I'll give you the dog. You want it? Because dogs are for money. Who's gonna take it? How many people have so much money?
Nine stories: What's the future?
Pan Gui: I am now returning all the rescue groups, raising more than a hundred dogs that have injured me and ending my life.
