Original subtitles

I shall never forget it.

A dog stronger and prouder than any other in the world...

a golden dog that ran across the plains like the wind,

Duoji Yongzhi.

The Tibetan Dog

Whoa!

Tenzin.

This is the story of the events that unfolded in May, soon after I had turned ten.

I left Xi'an, where I'd lived for most of my life, and headed for the Tibetan Plateau.

Two months before, I had been left all alone after my mother died of illness.

A traveler named Ngawang was going to take me to live with my father, who was living alone on the Plateau.

That tent is where your father lives.

Hey, Wala. ls the boss in?

Wait here, Tenzin.

My father had left back when I was a baby and never returned.

And back then, I had no recollection of his face.

Tenzin.

This is Lhakpa, your father.

Sorry to cause you so much trouble, Ngawang.

Oh, it was no big deal.

I'm used to traveling around.

Also...

Here's what you asked me to pick up from the city.

Thank you.

I know this isn't much...

Oh, no, I can't accept any money.

The elder has strictly instructed me not to.

Is that so?

I shall make sure to thank the elder personally later.

Understood.

Tenzin.

See you later.

Come.

Change into this.

City clothes will make it hard to move around on the plains.

If you want to live here, you must first forget all about the city.

D-Dad...

What is it?

Nothing...

I wanted to ask him why he didn't stay by Mom's side.

He was a doctor. She may have survived if he was there.

But I couldn't put those feelings into words.

Whoa there.

Huh?

Tenzin!

You Tenzin?

Y-Yeah...

How you've grown.

Remember me?

N-no.

I looked after you often when you were this tiny.

My name is Sonam.

Mister Sonam?

I heard you were coming back today, so I thought we could drink to celebrate.

Hey, you guys! Lhakpa hasn't seen his son in years! Show some consideration, would you?

No matter.

But don't you feel sorry for Tenzin?

He just got here, and you're already ignoring him.

Then teach him how to herd the sheep right now.

Huh?

Man, talk about hardworking...

Tenzin, you're not wearing your clothes right.

In Tibet, you take your right arm out on hot days like today.

All right. Come with me.

Herding sheep isn't as hard as it sounds.

But some of them will graze far away, so keep that in mind.

Dad keeps goats, even though he's a doctor?

Being a doctor isn't enough to eat.

Lhakpa doesn't take money from the poor either.

So he can leave Mom to die, but he'll help people in Tibet?

Lhakpa and your mother met in the city,

back when he'd gone there to study Western medicine.

And the two came to Tibet according to his wishes.

But your mother never got used to life here, so she took you and returned to the city.

Nothing could be done.

These plains need Lhakpa.

Grown ups have their own things to deal with.

You're giving me this?

But isn't this important to you?

Do you remember the song I always played on it?

I want you to play it for me.

If that will make you better, I'll practice with all my heart.

Thank you.

Tenzin.

Tenzin!

I'm taking you to the elder now. Hop on.

Huh? Uh...

Ta-da!

Come one, come all.

This is the love potion I just mentioned.

I bet it's a sham again.

The hair-growth medicine you sold me before didn't work at all!

You only listened to half of what I said, didn't you?

That medicine only works if you apply it

and then have the king, the strongest dog in these plains, lick your head.

The king dog?

Who would approach that thing?

What a pathetic man.

This is why you aren't popular.

Say What?!

You want women to love you, don't you?

How about you buy this potion, then?

H-how much is it?

A mere five gold coins.

F-five?!

If you don't want it, that's fine.

What a waste, though.

Such a waste!

I'll buy it!

Okay, we're done for the day.

Scram, all of you.

Way to go, Gran!

I'm so glad that Changpa is such a good customer.

An annoying one showed up.

Is that who Changpa was talking about? Lhakpa's son?

Is that Tenzin?

Yes.

He looks just like you when you were a child.

Elder, thank you for the medicine.

Oh, don't worry about it.

By the way, how is Medlam's training coming along?

I gave her the day off today, but she always does her best to help.

Good.

I taught Medlam Tibetan medicine,

and you're teaching her Western medicine.

I hope she fuses the two styles well.

What?

I have to go alone?

The best way to learn to herd sheep is by getting your body used to it.

But...

If you keep expecting someone to help you, you won't survive here.

Hey, hey!

Hold it right there!

Stop! Get back to the herd!

That one...

Wala, keep watch here.

I'll go get it back.

Wala...

This is why I said I couldn't do it.

I can't believe Dad made me.

Come on, get back to the herd.

Get back...

I said get back!

Whoa!

What's wrong, Wala?

It's no use, Wala. I can't get my legs to move.

Wow...

Thank you for saving me.

You know, when I was chasing after a sheep today-

I'm going on a visit to a distant village tomorrow.

Hold the fort while I'm gone.

Was the dog from yesterday somebody's pet?

What do you think, Wala?

No point asking you, huh?

Ow!

It hit him!

You Tenzin, Lhakpa's son?

The one from the city?

Yeah. Why'd you throw a rock at me?

To see how strong you are!

What's up with that?

Take that!

And that!

City kids don't amount to much, huh?

Let's go.

Yeah.

Norbu! What're you doing?

C-coming!

The food tastes bad, the sheep don't listen to me,

and Dad's so selfish...

There's nothing good about these plains!

Are you worried about me?

Thanks. I won't cry anymore.

I don't want you thinking I'm a cry-baby.

Huh?

What?

What do I do? I'm missing sheep.

Is anyone around?

I smell blood.

What happened here?

Where did they go?

There they are. Thank goodness.

Stop it...

I said stop it!

Get off!

Tenzin!

You Okay?

Yeah, but a bunch of sheep were killed.

This kid said he saw a pack of wolves, so I got worried.

Now that the king dog and the rest are here, it'll be fine.

Tibetan dogs are strong, huh?

Of course they are.

No wolves are a match for them.

Look at the king dog. The black one.

He rules over all the dogs in these plains.

What's going on?

It's that dog.

You know it?

Yeah.

I've never seen it around here.

They're going to fight.

What? Why?

Tibetan dogs have their own territories.

If an outsider shows up there, they have to "greet" it.

No...

Stop them! Aren't they all Tibetan dogs?

Fighting one another is just weird!

That's not happening, Tenzin.

Look at that dog.

He's going to challenge the king dog.

Why? Why can't you be friends?

The king dog isn't fighting?

He's a smart one.

He doesn't plan to fight an opponent he knows nothing about.

Wow, he's strong!

What? Nali, that silly tomboy!

You know you're no match for him!

What's going on? He's not fighting like before.

He's not taking Nali seriously.

Male Tibetan dogs don't fight females.

They're done for.

As strong as that dog is, it won't survive.

I'm gonna take a look!

H-hey! It's not safe! I'm gonna take a look!

H-hey! It's not safe!

I'll be fine.

Does he like that dog?

They're both outsiders.

Sonam... I ended up bullying him.

Thank goodness.

They're alive...

They're alive, both of them!

Please save these dogs!

Got it! Hurry up and bring a cart. And some rope, too.

Don't worry. We'll save you no matter what.

I can't carry her by myself.

Isn't Lhakpa home?

He's visiting a faraway patient today.

Then we can't treat them either.

I'll go get some medicine from Grandma!

Huh?

Gran Amala's medicine won't be of any use.

Medlam!

Weren't you at the elder's place today?

We finished early.

She's Medlam, Lhakpa's student.

Student?

Save these dogs!

They're badly wounded.

I don't know if I can save them, but I'll try.

Please!

You're Tenzin, aren't you?

Y-yeah.

Tenzin, I'll go gather the sheep.

Okay. Thank you, Mister Sonam.

Grab the booze!

Huh?

It's on that shelf! Hurry!

O-okay.

Uh... Oh.

Here.

Huh?

Keep it down, Wala!

Dad...

Doctor!

They fell off a cliff.

This dog will be fine, right?

It won't die, right?

This wound will have to be stitched up.

Huh?

How's his pulse?

Very fast, like a hawk flapping its wings to take flight.

What about Nali?

Not as bad as that one.

You handle her, then.

We'll have to stitch up this wound at once.

Tenzin, hold the dog down.

Okay.

All done.

Medlam!

O-one moment.

Use this.

Grandma's medicine. It works on everything.

What's it made from?

Uh, a bunch of grass, dirt, a little yak dung...

I know Grandma's medicines aren't well-made, but she always says, "It works if you believe it works."

You're a nice kid, Norbu.

Why don't you hand it to Tenzin yourself?

It'll make him happy.

No need! You give it to him, okay?

Please.

Yoo-hoo!

Will he be okay?

It all depends on tonight.

He might have spasms. We'll have to keep watch all night.

Okay. I'll stay up.

The rest is up to the dog's strength.

But its body was sturdy enough to not get any fractures from falling off a cliff.

If things go well, it can survive.

It's late. I'll take you home.

He's a nice kid.

I hope you've been talking to him.

He resents me.

It's understandable. I abandoned him and his mother.

But that wasn't your fault.

I'm fine with that, though.

Doctor?

His hate for me will make him strong.

Strong enough to survive in these plains.

Thank you very much.

See you tomorrow, then.

Are you really okay with that, Doctor?

You're mistaken! Strength alone isn't enough to live!

Tenzin needs love!

Now that he's lost his mother, he needs his father's love!

What brings you here so late?

There's something I must tell you about.

What is it?

I went up north for a visit today and saw a dead man.

I believe he was bitten to death by an animal.

In addition to him, some dogs and sheep had been bitten to death too.

Wolves?

I took a look at the bodies, but that wasn't wolf fur.

What could it have been, then?

What's scary is that it killed the sheep and didn't eat them.

Neither wolves nor clogs kill for no reason.

But what I saw today were pleasure killings.

It was like the work of a devil.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Tenzin.

I don't mind staying up.

I'll be fine.

Wake me up if the dog goes out of control.

Got it.

Are you okay?

Wh-what's wrong?

Calm down, or your wound will open!

Wh-what should I do?

I should wake Dad...

Oh, I know!

This flute is a memento of my mother.

Listening to it always calmed me down.

Sleep well. I'll keep watch.

One, two, hup!

Morning.

Good morning.

I see you gave the dogs their medicine.

Yeah.

What's with the tent?

An examination tent.

Can't examine patients in a tent with dogs inside.

The elder provided it.

They woke up!

Nali, settle down!

Oh, my. If they're this energetic, they can eat.

Huh?

Why won't he eat?

Eat up. It's meat.

Looks like he can't yet.

Huh?

Tibetan dogs only accept food from people they trust.

To this dog, we're unfamiliar people of an unfamiliar land.

It'll be hard to get it to trust us.

What? But he won't get better unless he eats.

Don't worry! I'm not your enemy!

Tenzin, let's ease him into it.

But...

Eat up. It's good.

That's dangerous, Tenzin.

Doctor!

It's all right.

Come on. Eat up.

He ate it.

Yes! He ate it!

Show me your hand.

The bite wasn't too deep.

Medlam, get the alcohol.

Right away.

He wasn't serious, huh?

What?

If he really meant to hurt you, your hand would've been bitten off.

Should I make some butter tea?

Sounds good.

Butter tea?

You move this pole up and down and mix well.

Here you are.

Thank you.

You don't like butter tea?

Not really, no.

We Tibetans drink it every day.

When someone close to us dies and it hurts, we even drink it while in tears.

That way, your heart will feel a little lighter.

Samudu.

I'm thinking of telling Brother about the thing.

Don't. Just sneak away.

I can't do that. He raised me like a parent.

Besides...

He's in a good mood right now, since we attacked those merchants and made money.

I'm going to talk to him!

Wait, don't! Huazhe!

Brother Gyalo!

What is it?

I want to talk to you about something.

Let's hear it.

Well...

If it's hard to say, then don't say it.

I want to quit being a bandit!

Please, Brother! I want to turn over a new leaf and live a normal life.

No.

But why?

We're brothers. I need aides I can trust.

You'll still have Samudu.

He's good, but he's not family.

I've had enough of looting!

Did a monk or that goody-two-shoes Lhakpa preach to you?

No!

Is it a woman, then?

There are plenty of other women out there.

But there's only one Lochen!

Takchi's daughter?

She hates bandits.

We don't attack the people of these plains.

There's no reason for them to hate us.

Bandits are bandits!

Should've known the chief is never in a good mood.

Brother, thank you for raising me all this time.

Are you sure about this?

He'll be back soon.

For brothers, they sure don't understand each other.

Knock it off, Nali.

It's your fault he got hurt, anyway!

Does she hate him or something?

Still, such a sturdy dog.

At this rate, he'll be able to walk again before long.

Really?

What's wrong, Wala?

What's that howl?

The king dog.

Her friends are here to pick her up, huh?

Is Nali going to leave?

Goodbye, Nali.

Unbelievable.

What?

Well...

Maybe Nali doesn't hate him, but loves him instead.

What?!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Wow, you can walk now?!

He's trying to help with your work.

Huh?

Must be his way to thank you for saving him.

Take him with you.

Yeah!

Fetch!

There!

Uh, you're... Norbu!

Yeah.

I was wondering if Grandma's sham medicine worked.

Medicine?

Here.

What's this?

Granny Amala's medicine.

Norbu wants you to use it to treat the dogs.

Well, think of it as a good-luck charm.

Er, yeah, I guess.

I see...

Grandma got carried away again when I told her I gave you some.

You've heard that Lhakpa's son, Tenzin, saved a dog.

But that's not true.

It was actually Amala's special medicine, this right here, that saved it.

It'll heal any kind of wound at once.

Just for today, you can get it for one gold coin!

That's how it went.

Oh, really?

But you're amazing.

Why?

You tamed that dog! Tibetan dogs only get attached to their owners.

But it saw you, Tenzi-

Tenzin is fine.

It opened your heart to you! That's really special!

Hm...

Nobody will bully you anymore...

Sorry about that.

I've forgotten all about it already.

That aside, I want to name that dog. Got any ideas?

A name, huh?

A name...

It looks like it's made of gold, doesn't it?

Gold?

That gives me an idea! How about naming him Duoji Yongzhi, then?

What does it mean?

It's a legendary gem from the Kunlun Mountains.

It shines like gold.

Duoji Yongzhi, huh?

Duoji Yongzhi...

Yeah, that's a great name.

Hey. Duoji Yongzhi!

Duoji!

He responded to it!

Yeah, he must've liked it too!

Yay!

Hooray! Yay!

Hooray!

Duoji!

Duoji! Duoji!

Duoji!

Your brother was a hunter?

Yes. He was a strong man.

He could run around in the mountains for ten whole clays and still take down his prey without giving up.

That's the kind of man he was.

That's why I never imagined he would die like that.

The devil must've killed him.

Devil?

Honey!

Why don't you take a break? I made butter tea.

Sure.

What's wrong?

I'm glad I could be with you.

Living a quiet life with you, I truly feel I was right to quit being a bandit.

It's all thanks to you.

Your brother is still angry, isn't he?

He'll understand one day.

What was that noise?!

You stay inside.

Duoji!

Duoji Yongzhi!

Did you find him, Nali?

What's the matter?

Duoji's missing. He suddenly disappeared, chasing after the sheep in the afternoon.

I see...

His wounds haven't healed yet, either.

Where did he go?

Listen, Tenzin.

Duoji originally wandered here from somewhere.

So once his wounds heal-

He'll leave?

Not necessarily...

You really love him, don't you?

Yeah.

Watching him gives me strength.

Even in an unfamiliar land, he lives strong by himself.

Nali?

Duoji!

Where have you been?

Another day, another looting.

That merchant's face went so pale.

"I'll do anything! Please spare me!"

But what did the chief do?

Bang!

Our chief really doesn't have a merciful bone in his body.

Chief.

Don't you think we went too far today?

The reason we can live in these plains is partly because we may steal but do not kill.

If you have a problem with my methods, you're free to leave.

Like Huazhe?

Don't bring up my brother!

R-right...

Chief!

Huazhe... Huazhe is...

The poor things.

How grotesque.

What an awful sight. An animal must've done it.

Looking at the body, he must've been killed yesterday.

Who killed Huazhe?

Was it you?!

Kill that dog!

After it!

That's the dog from Lhakpa's place.

What?

I hear it showed up recently in these plains.

Now, he's taken to Tenzin, Lhakpa's son.

Lhakpa,huh?

Lhakpa! Get out here! I know you're there!

Stop it, Grandma!

Unhand me!

Lhakpa!

I'm with a patient.

What are you talking about? Get out here already!

What happened?

Well, Lhakpa...

You!

I hear you called my medicines fake and told people not to buy them!

Due to that, nobody's buying them! We don't even have food for tonight!

But she actually has a ton of money saved up.

I know all about it.

Y-you will pay for what you've done!

I don't mind your doing business.

Just don't sell medicine that you claim will heal wounds.

The people who buy it won't do anything else, and their wounds will get worse.

Who cares?

My business is an art form!

And my customers enjoy it!

Then it doesn't matter what the doctor says, does it?

Nobody asked you!

People really aren't buying my medicines anymore.

You'll take responsibility for that!

Duoji...

Where were you?

I was worried since you were gone when I woke up.

Hand over that dog, Lhakpa.

He killed my brother.

Huh?

No way. Duoji would never do something like that!

Do you have proof that he did it?

We found him by his body.

If that's true, I'll deal with the dog myself.

Dad?

That won't do. I must avenge my brother

with my own hands.

Gyalo, it's not like you saw the dog kill your brother.

Then what's all this talk about killing it?

Stay out of it, Gran.

I can't sit back and watch needless killing.

If you're going to kill this dog here and now,

do it after you shoot me!

You're so cool, Grandma!

Hand the dog over to the chief.

Medlam!

Samudu, you-

Look, Gran, the chief will think nothing of shooting you down.

So just hand the dog over.

No! I'm not handing him over!

Out of the way, kid!

That's enough, Gyalo.

Elder Tzeren.

I heard Amala had come here to complain to Lhakpa.

I figured I'd have to mediate.

I don't need a mediator!

That aside, give this blockhead a piece of your mind!

It's true that right now, a lot of people and animals are dying under strange circumstances.

But that doesn't mean this dog was behind it.

What else could've done it?!

We cannot sweep this under the rug.

So let me take custody of the dog.

I refuse!

Gyalo, the reason we turn a blind eye to your banditry

is because you don't mess with those who live here and don't engage in pointless killing.

But if you hurt the people here right now,

you won't get away with it!

Chief, let's give it up.

I don't want to be chased out of here and wander all over as a wanted criminal.

Think about our men. Please, Chief.

Damn it all!

Samudu, you helped Gyalo save face there.

You're a smart man.

I just want to live life in these plains.

Thank you so much, Elder Tzeren.

It's too early to relax, Lhakpa.

Who knows what the villagers will decide?

I won't let you kill Duoji! You can't take him away!

Think about it, Tenzin.

If you do this, we can never-

You don't have a heart, Dad!

That's why you can so easily say you'll kill him!

It's... it's the same as when you left Mom to die!

Tenzin...

Doctor!

Knock it off!

Gyalo will be back.

Do you really think we can protect Duoji by ourselves?

Lhakpa's right, Tenzin.

Depending on how the talks go, we might find a way to save Duoji too.

Please understand.

I understand.

I'll bring Duoji myself.

He's my dog.

Let's go, Duoji.

See you, Lhakpa.

Yes. I'll come see you at once.

Tenzin, I'll come with you too.

Apparently, Lhakpa's dog killed a man.

This has turned into quite the mess.

Yeah.

Don't worry, Duoji.

No matter what, I won't let them kill you!

As the rumors say, bizarre incidents have taken place in the plains over the past two weeks.

Even today, Gyalo's brother, Huazhe, was found dead.

Did Lhakpa's dog kill him?

No. Nobody saw him do it.

I found that dog near my brother.

There's no doubt Lhakpa's dog killed him.

We must put it down at once.

You've all seen it, right?

How Tenzin and Duoji run across the plains?

That dog doesn't attack Tenzin!

If he were such a devilish dog, he'd attack Tenzin first!

That's because Tenzin saved his life.

That devil must have that much heart left, at least.

Are any of the other dogs that live in these plains capable of killing like that?

Think about it.

Didn't the incidents start happening once that dog showed up here?

Who's going to be killed next?

You?

Your families?

I agree with Gyalo.

Me too. Our children's lives are in danger.

We can't sit back and do nothing.

This is bad news.

Thanks for keeping watch.

What's the matter, Norbu?

Huh? Norbu?

The elder sent refreshments since you must be cold.

Is it booze?

Well, yeah...

Thanks!

Is that it?

It's super-strong booze.

Apparently, just one sip will make you feel like you're in heaven.

Really?

You were right. This is amazing.

I feel amazing...

What's the matter?

We must get Duoji out of here!

Oh no! It won't fit!

It looks like the villagers will decide to kill him.

What?

It opened!

Duoji!

Come, let's hurry!

Hey, what about him?

He'll be fine! I just gave him sleeping medicine!

One of the few real medicines Grandma can make!

Wait one moment, everyone.

There was fur strewn about the corpses I found.

But that fur was black!

Duoji's fur is gold!

Duoji didn't do it, then?

Who would believe that?!

You're lying out of love for your son!

No!

Big trouble! No!

Big trouble!

D-Duoji's gone!

Hup!

Nali!

I'll go look for them now.

You can't do it alone.

I'll have the villagers split up and look for them.

Take care of it.

Sir!

We must find them before Gyalo does.

What's all this ruckus about?

Where's Duoji going?

Oh, so that's the deal?

I just can't see Duoji as a man-killing devil.

There's another man-killing devil.

What do you mean?

A hunter I met on my travels told me about it.

The devil must've killed him.

Devil?

I've never seen a monster like that before.

It was huge and as black as the night.

But the scariest thing about it was its eyes.

Those were eyes filled with insanity.

Truly a devil.

He could've survived if Yongzing were here.

Yongzing?

My brother's pet dog.

He escaped the attack since he was away in the mountains,

but when he saw my brother's body...

Yongzing ran off somewhere.

Wait, Yongzing is Duoji Yongzhi?

I believe so.

He must've disappeared frequently to look for that devil.

I see. So that's why he was where Huazhe was killed.

The monster's scent must've lingered there.

He must still be after it, to avenge his owner's death.

Damn it! Where'd they go?

Look at that, Chief.

What's the dog king up to so late at night?

We're following the dog king, Samudu.

He rules over the dogs in the plains.

There's no way he'd ignore Duoji, an outsider.

I see.

If we follow him, he'll lead us to Duoji?

Let's go!

If I'd known we'd be coming up here, I would've dressed more warmly.

The sun will come up soon.

Can Wala really get the job done?

Believe it or not, he's really good at following scents.

Please tell me they didn't head for that mountain.

I hope they aren't caught in a blizzard.

Norbu, don't fall asleep.

I know, but...

Norbu.

Wake up, Norbu.

Norbu...

Duoji...

You're up?

Wake up, Norbu!

Norbu!

They found us!

What?

Who's they? Were you being chased by someone?

Huh? You're not one of them?

You should thank those dogs.

If they hadn't protected you from the cold, you would've died for sure.

Duoji...

Nali.

Captain Lodo, the blizzard will die down soon.

I see.

Who are you people?

We came from across the mountains.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

This is the first time I've found butter tea tasty.

So, your dog was about to be killed, so you ran away?

Yeah. The villagers are assuming that Duoji killed.

But I know they're wrong!

You're right.

That dog wouldn't kill anyone.

You believe us?

Yeah.

The devil we're after is the one who did it.

Devil?

Like a storm, it suddenly attacked our village one clay.

You can only call it a black devil.

It didn't let us flee and killed most of the villagers in no time.

A creature of insanity, one that lives only to kill.

That's what it is.

The few of us that survived decided to go after it.

Either way, that monster must be the one attacking the plains.

Rakshasa. That's what we call that thing.

This is for your own good. Go back to your father.

Once we kill Rakshasa, it should clear Duoji's name.

And when will that be?

We know it's nearby.

We should run into it today or tomorrow.

We left food for you.

Goodbye.

Did they find them?

What's up, Duoji? Aren't you eating?

Duoji?

The dog king?

Duoji, Nali! Let's run away!

No good. Duoji's totally up for a fight.

Found you at last.

Die, Duoji.

Wh-what was that cry?

I've never heard anything like it.

Duoji!

Damn it! After them!

Captain!

This is awful.

Duoji!

Duoji!

Duoji.

A-a monster.

Rakshasa...

Duoji!

Dad?

Save Duoji!

I can't do that.

Dad!

Listen to me, Tenzin.

Duoji's staking his honor to fight by himself.

Nobody can stop that resolve.

All we can do now is believe in him and watch over him.

Stay out of this, monster!

I won't let you kill Duoji!

I will avenge my brother!

Chief, that monster's too much for us!

We should retreat for now.

Shut up!

Hey, you guys!

Die!

Duoji?

Nali? Run away!

Nali...

Duoji!

Tenzin!

Duoji...

Duoji!

Duoji!

Duoji.

Duoji!

Duoji!

Duoji... Duoji!

Wake up, Duoji!

Nali?

Run, Tenzin!

Tenzin!

Duoji...

Duoji!

Duoji...

Duoji...

Duoji!

Duoji!

And so, my adventure with Duoji Yongzhi came to an end.

However, Duoji wasn't dead.

Wow, so cute. Look at them.

They look just like Duoji.

Yes, he came back to us in the form of new lives.

Duoji Yongzhi taught me to never give in to anyone.

Ready... Fetch! Duoji Yongzhi taught me to never give in to anyone.

Ready... Fetch!

He taught me to live strong, under my own power, in this vast world.

Fifty years have passed.

I inherited my father's will, and as a doctor, I still live in these Tibetan lands.

Grandpa!

Hey!

Here I go!

Man loves dogs as friends.

And dogs, too, love man as friends.

It's an irreplaceable bond of trust.

That's what Duoji Yongzhi taught me.

Shizuka ni mata hajimatte yuku Silently, it begins again
