Dog Boy Wong Foo Ching’s Remarkable Birth and Rise
The New York Press recounts Wong Foo Ching born after his mother vowed never to remarry if a son appeared. Her sister-in-law sought to drown the girl, but their dog Ah Dow saved the infant. The boy later earned the Han Lin degree and became known as Dog boy, with a monument planned for Ah Dow and poems praising his future reforming role.
