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.
