00:00Dogs are under a lot of restrictions in the city.
00:05We wanted to find a place where dogs could run and play freely.
00:25Some of the dogs were picked up by the owners.
00:29But we didn't have a place to keep them.
00:32So we let them stay here for a long time.
00:33Some of the owners wanted to have kids.
00:37But the kids were too young.
00:39So they had to wait for a certain period of time.
00:41So they let the dogs stay here for a year or two.
00:43Some of the owners wanted to treat the dogs like a kindergarten.
00:47They would throw the dogs here and let them play.
00:59I have lived with the dogs for so many years.
01:01I hope they can have a space to interact with us.
01:06I hope they can have a space to interact with us.
01:09I hope they can have a space to interact with us.
01:13They would wait for the owners in the cage.
01:15It's a sad thing.
01:17We have to build a community for them.
01:29We have to provide a space for them to live in.
01:31We have to build a community for them to live in.
01:33We have to build a community for them to live in.
01:42When they come out, they think it's not a good thing.
01:47And when they don't see the dog, they start fighting.
01:54They have this impression.
01:56So when they come out, they don't get along well with others,
02:00with people and dogs in society.
02:12The biggest need is a spiritual world.
02:22Many owners care a lot about their dogs' eating and drinking.
02:27In my ten years of experience raising dogs,
02:30education is more important than eating and drinking.
02:33Because eating is basically not a problem,
02:36but education is the biggest problem.
02:39I want to increase their self-confidence,
02:42including their trust in us humans,
02:44and their trust in dogs.
02:46Many dogs' personalities, including their bravery,
02:50and their self-confidence come from their daily lives.
