知道旺旺遭受不幸，已經約一個星期了。

這幾天，只要滑到 Facebook、Instagram 或 Threads 上與旺旺相關的貼文，眼淚總會不自覺地掉下來。我其實一直不敢點開那些影片，光是看著網友轉述的文字，就足以讓我難過好幾天。

想到這隻長得和我家卡布有些神似的小可憐，生前究竟承受了多少痛苦，心裡真的非常不捨。她被擠到下水道生活，還努力照顧著三個剛出生的孩子。在那麼大的揭陽，卻沒有一個地方能容得下她們一家，真的讓人心碎。

她本來應該是某個家庭裡被疼愛、被保護的孩子，能安心睡覺、開心玩耍，享受被愛的生活。但現實中的她，卻必須拖著小小的身體努力活下去，同時還要照顧三個嗷嗷待哺的孩子。想到這裡，真的忍不住想說：「她自己，其實也還只是個孩子啊……」

至於那些動手傷害旺旺的小孩，更讓我深刻感受到，推動動物保護法規與培養同理心的重要性。

法律或許能帶來一定程度的嚇阻效果，但真正能避免悲劇一再發生的，是教育，是讓孩子從小學會尊重生命、理解生命的價值。當一個人能感受到動物的痛苦，自然就不會把傷害生命當成遊戲。

家庭教育更是其中不可忽視的一環。從事件中家長的回應，不難看出他們對待動物生命的觀念仍有許多值得反思的地方。這件事令人擔心的，不只是失去了一隻無辜的狗狗，而是孩子在成長過程中，若缺乏正確的引導，可能逐漸失去同理心，甚至把別人的痛苦視為娛樂。

孩子需要被教育，家長也需要負起教育與引導的責任。因為父母的放任與錯誤觀念，不只是影響自己的孩子，也可能讓整個社會承擔未來更大的風險。許多令人遺憾的悲劇，其實在早期都能看見徵兆，如果願意及早介入、及早教育，也許就能避免更多傷害。

最後，想把這段話留給在天上的旺旺。

希望妳已經沒有疼痛，也不用再為了生存而四處流浪，更不用擔心孩子是否吃得飽、睡得暖。如果真的有來生，希望妳能投胎到一個充滿愛的家庭，被好好疼愛、好好珍惜。

如果有一天，我們有緣相遇，我希望妳能成為我家的孩子。我一定會好好保護妳，陪伴妳終老，讓妳知道，這個世界終究還是有很多人，願意用一輩子去愛妳。

RIP，旺旺。

最後放上一張我家卡布睡到翻肚的照片。看著她毫無防備、安心熟睡的模樣，我知道，這就是每一隻狗狗都值得擁有的生活。也因為有卡布的陪伴，讓我在為旺旺難過的這幾天，心裡得到了一點點安慰。

願未來，不再有下一個旺旺。

It has been about a week since I learned about what happened to Wang Wang.

Over the past few days, every time I come across posts about Wang Wang on Facebook, Instagram, or Threads, tears well up in my eyes without me even realizing it. I haven’t had the courage to watch any of the videos. Just reading people’s descriptions of what happened has been heartbreaking enough.

Every time I think about this little dog, who reminds me so much of my own dog, Cappu, my heart aches. I can’t stop wondering how much pain she must have endured. She was forced to live in a storm drain while doing everything she could to care for her three newborn puppies. In such a big city, there wasn’t even a small corner where she and her babies could simply exist in peace.

She should have been someone’s beloved family member—sleeping safely at home, playing without fear, and growing up surrounded by love. Instead, this tiny little soul had to fight every day just to survive while protecting and raising her three babies. The thought that she was still so young herself makes it even more heartbreaking.

This tragedy has reminded me how important both animal protection laws and compassion education truly are.

Laws can help discourage cruelty, but they alone cannot prevent tragedies like this from happening again. The real solution begins with teaching children to respect all living beings and to understand that animals can feel pain, fear, and love just as we do. When people learn empathy from a young age, they are far less likely to see harming another living creature as entertainment.

Family education also plays an essential role. From the responses reported about the children’s parents, it is difficult not to feel concerned about the values being passed down. This tragedy is not only about the loss of one innocent dog—it also reflects what can happen when children grow up without learning empathy and respect for life. When someone is unable to recognize another living being’s suffering and instead finds it amusing, it reveals a deeper problem that deserves serious attention.

Children need guidance, and parents have a responsibility to teach kindness, accountability, and respect for life. The values we teach at home shape not only our own children but also the society they will one day become part of. Many heartbreaking tragedies show warning signs long before they happen. Through better education, stronger awareness, and early intervention, perhaps some of them can be prevented.

Lastly, I want to leave these words for Wang Wang.

I hope you are no longer in pain. I hope you no longer have to worry about finding food or protecting your babies every single day. If there is another life beyond this one, I hope you are reborn into a loving family where you will always be cherished, protected, and never have to suffer again.

And if fate ever gives us the chance to meet in another lifetime, I hope you can become one of my own dogs. I promise I would spend my whole life loving and protecting you, so you would know that there are still many people in this world who truly care.

Rest in peace, Wang Wang.

Lastly, I’d like to share a photo of my own dog, Cappu, sleeping peacefully on his back. Seeing him so relaxed and feeling completely safe reminds me that this is the life every dog deserves. Looking at him has brought me a little comfort during these difficult days as I mourn for Wang Wang.

May there never be another Wang Wang.
