Strange Hill

怪山坡

Jul. 02. 2024, Changsha 长沙

After Toto was born inside a cave on the back hill, my dad brought him to our home. He is the eldest among his siblings. My dad wanted him to guard the house in the country because there were mice, weasels, and even snakes at night. Apart from his night duties, Toto has his own schedule during the day. He sleeps in the morning, goes out to have fun with other wild dogs in the afternoon, and sometimes learns to climb over the wall with the neighbor’s cat. It can be said that Toto is free and knows many places that we cannot determine or reach. That is why Toto could found me in these strange places and brought me home safely.

坨坨在后山的一个山洞里出生后，我爸爸把他带到我们家。他是他兄弟姐妹中最大的。我爸爸想让他看守乡下的房子，因为晚上会有老鼠，黄鼠狼甚至蛇出没。除了晚上的职责，坨坨白天也有自己的安排。他早上睡觉，下午和其他野狗出去玩，有时和邻居的猫一起学习翻墙。可以说坨坨是自由的，他知道很多我们无法确定或到达的地方。这也是为什么坨坨能在这些奇怪的地方找到了我，并把我安全带回家。
