Despite experiencing hunger and enduring hardships, Xiao Huang's steadfast devotion became evident as he firmly declined food and assistance from well-meaning passersby. He remained rooted in that very spot, clinging to the hope that his master would one day return.
During his lengthy wait, Xiao Huang resourcefully crafted a makeshift shelter by diligently excavating a 90cm-wide hole in the ground.
