The Flower Dog 花狗

By Lizzy Tsao

A love story about the relationship between humans and dogs that teaches the priceless value of life

The Flower Dog, born with a special blessing, has beautiful flowers planted atop his head. These flowers vary season by season and constantly keep him in the company of butterflies. Yet, being homeless, he drifts around until one day a little girl gives him not only shelter but a home to live in. From then on, they become best friends and accompany each other. When the girl grows up and leaves her hometown to study, the Flower Dog sends her the most beautifully blooming flowers from time to time to show his care and love.

Even at the last moment when the Flower Dog passes, he never stops caring for the girl, with whom he shares everything. Years later, the place at which the Flower Dog is buried begins to sprout the girl's favorite flowers, reminding the girl that he will always stay with her.
