Features: The main character in this book is a big black dog. The black dog may not look impressive, but it has great abilities. I remember it was in the evening when Teacher Ding took his students to play basketball. The ball was passed, but one student couldn’t catch it, and the basketball slipped away, heading straight down a steep hill. Amidst the shouts of alarm, the black dog, which had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly leaped forward and caught the basketball with its front paws. Cheers erupted on the sidelines. I said, "That black dog is truly amazing." Teacher Ding smiled and said with a meaningful tone, "The older generation in the village says: There are no unremarkable dogs in the world, only unremarkable people." For those days, Teacher Ding’s words were like a lightning bolt, illuminating many scenes, facts, and details from my life experiences. The characters and events in my life’s "warehouse" suddenly appeared, each revealing their own faces, strengths, and roles. Arranged together, they formed a rough outline of a story. This is the story that this book wants to tell its young friends, "The Ugly Dog."
