One recent Saturday morning, Zhi was at Shanghai's international airport to drop off a dog to a passenger who volunteered to take it to a new home in the US city of Seattle. Wearing his monks' robes, Zhi holds the small dog in his arms until the last minute, muttering "goodbye, goodbye". He wipes away tears as the woman and dog disappear through the departure gate. "I have a dream that one day, when I have some free time, I want to go abroad and visit them, take photos with every dog that I rescued," he said. "So when I get old and can't walk, I have these photos to look at."
