In rural areas of Hebei, the weather is cold and dry in winter, people living in the plains, quiet and simple, but also bustling about their own lives. Almost all households there keep dogs as watchdogs;  the dogs are surviving dependent on the person in the same time.

Que Village is one of the small villages, only more than 100 households in it. Lots of dogs live in the village as well, they also will be sick, dead, abandoned or victims of trafficking. But in the eyes of their masters, dogs are dogs, in the end they cannot see the only road where is leading to the outside world in the east of Que Village.
