"Sit down and eat, drink less and drink a glass of water." These polite conversations between people are different when used with stray animals.
A hair salon has been rooted in Sheung Shui Lane for ten years, witnessing the development of Parallel Market, witnessing stray dogs being driven away from the center of the market and being injured. Since then, the hair salon has been turned into a reception center for waves, providing shelter.
The epidemic hit the hair salon business severely. The proprietress tried to "open the door for five consecutive days and left the dog to feed" and even was maliciously abandoned. However, she had no regrets and decided to push more stray dogs out of the pool to become pets in the house.
Every day he walks from the apartment in Sheung Shui to the alleys of Xincheng Street. Mr. Tong, the person in charge of Hi Salon, who opens the door alone for business, will be very busy when he opens the shop in the morning. In addition to power sources such as water heaters and light boards, he also has to worry about replacing the water outside the door, and he is busy sorting out the grains and putting them in the food pockets waiting for them to arrive.
"Prepare dry and wet food when you return. It is better to eat less snacks, or to eat chicken and chicken." Last year, the arrival of the new crown epidemic caused a big blow to the hair salon business. She tried zero business for five consecutive days.
"I have tried for four to five days, and no one can do it... a row is like a pure return to feed the dog." But she said with a smile: "There are fewer guests, and more dog food is bought." Some treat stray dogs badly because of poor business.
She regards stray dogs as friends, only because she has seen the rise and fall of Sheung Shui within ten years.
She recalled that about one to two months after opening, she met her first stray dog on the way back to work, and she was fed there regularly. Unexpectedly, the Tang dog seemed to understand sex, and one day she suddenly visited her hair salon directly. Hey, when I see me doing it, the rest is swaying the tail at the door, and the tail is like a helicopter." The Tang dog then brought five or six companions to visit, and the hair salon has since become the Langlang reception.
The lack of understanding does not hinder work
Animals are not only grateful, but also know not to trouble others. Master Tong said that every time he receives guests, stray dogs have never tried to enter the house to interfere with his work, but in winter he is afraid that they will catch cold. I bury it on the side, but it’s too cold, I will spread some felt."
With the intensification of free travel in the Mainland, Sheung Shui has developed into a parallel street with cosmetic chains and pharmacies at the end of the street. Not only the old shops are forced to leave, but even stray animals are also suffering.
"Since there have been many parallel buyers, Qu Wei (stray dogs) can't go out like me. There are so many wastes, and people have nowhere to go. Some people complain that there are too many stray dogs and ask the fishermen's and farmers' offices to catch dogs. "
The fear of the people is that if you fail to catch a dog, the injury will follow.
"Hey, a big Tang dog, nailed in the back of his hand, he limped and limped his foot; there was a wooden stick stuck in its neck, and it was nailed to the wooden stick, but it was not dead. Walk back and take Linbaoqu to the (veterinary) clinic."
The endless harm eventually made her decide to find a home for the stray dog. Some of them have successfully "out of the pool" and have been adopted by interested people.
Parallel market changes the whole area on the water
Although last year’s epidemic broke parallel shops, many shops in Sheung Shui have closed and are waiting to be rented, but Master Tong said that most stray dogs already know that humans no longer regard them as friends, changing their habits and staying in their hometowns. Living in the suburbs or on the hills, she only went to the garbage dumps in the city to feed in the early morning, and no longer went in and out of the noisy market. According to the current situation, she feeds them regularly to prevent them from starving.
What makes Master Tong even more chilling is that in recent months, pets have been diagnosed with the new crown virus and they will infect their owners. Since then, pet dogs have been abandoned and raised at the door of her hair salon. It’s too indifferent, so the dog walks as far as possible. I arrange for it to go... But the medical expenses are so heavy, and everyone can’t afford it. You see that it’s hard to save and feel so heartache, and I don’t have the ability to save it. Can you order it?" She urged dog owners not to abandon their dogs. She only hopes that small shops can be a role model. It is already within her capacity to strive for community coexistence space for stray dogs.
Wofu Social Enterprise organized a community project "Community Changer", inviting young people to visit eight communities in a guided tour. Among them, "hi salon" was selected as one of the visit points. Master Tong told the young people about their The care of stray dogs draws on her contribution and care to the community.
