New York, N.Y. We adopted Jojo (Zhō Zhō), our family’s dog, in July 2010. He was bought three years ago in a shopping center, and then penned up in a crate for two years.
His foster family took spectacular care of him — and now it is up to my family to provide a home and love. John Lee has dedicated him to the memory of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou (北)周武帝) who lived from 543-578.

Walking outside one beautiful Sunday on Roosevelt Island we encountered an enormous dog. I told Jojo to stand his ground as the ‘Righteous need not Fear.’ Jojo turned his back on Danger and the big dog then sniffed him — and moved on. Lesson: Sometimes in life you just get lucky!
