Dogs in hats

By Poem by Long Yuan; Cartoon by Gou Ben / 08-07-2015 / (Chinese Social Sciences Today)

A new sight in a prosperous city,
Is a dog walking around wearing a hat.
The duck knows first
When the river becomes warm in spring,
The dog also knows first
When the weather turns sunny.
Wearing floral patterns in the winter
 And a hat in the summer,
A dog shares in the well-being of human beings.
The poor and the elderly live their lives
With indifference,
While the left behind children
 Grow up with loneliness.
When humans and dogs are not
Perversely positioned,
Society will enjoy harmony and become famed.
