Last year, Show Lo "Xiao Zhu (Little Pig)" spent $35 Million on 1000 ping of land (~360,000 sq ft, ~3,300 sq m.), spending a year to build a "Stray Dog Mansion" for the animal-loving Mama, which includes basketball courts and a Japanese-styled room. This is a relaxing getaway for the son and mother along with their dogs. In a distance they can see Papa Lo's resting ground at Futan Memorial. It's regretful that often times people thought this private home is a "stray animal shelter," abandoning their dogs at the front door, becoming a bit of a burden to Mama Lo, to which she says, "Don't just randomly abandon your pets."
As of now, Mama Lo has picked up 30 stray dogs, some of which had once had skin diseases, even ones that were paralyzed. She sent them each to an emergency veterinary hospital and now all of them are strong and healthy. She can even call them out each by name. "Xiao Ba" earned his name because he walks a bit pigeon-toed (like the word "ba八"). He was found in the mountains and after scanning his microchip, they found his owner, but the owner insisted, "I don't want him, just euthanize him then," Mama Lo couldn't bear that so she took him home.
Raised a "Mini Pig" for 10 yearsAt Show Lo's old home in Keelung, there is a pig that's been there for 10 years, from what was supposedly a mini pig, to now a 100+kg "Big Pig." The pig also moved into the new house with 30 other dogs. His transportation was very difficult as they were ready to use a crane, but Mama Lo was worried that the pig would get startled and scared, that his heart might not be able to bear it, so they had the vet give him an anesthetic injection to put him to sleep. Then 4 macho guys carried him onto the car, off to the new home. To our knowledge, she's grown especially attached to the pig because he understands human language. Whenever Mama Lo says she's going to give him a bath or massage, he'll obediently lie down. Her son has been filming in China for over a month, so she can only look at the "Big Pig" and think of "Little Pig(Xiao Zhu)".

Mama Lo Cleans The Cage EverydayXiao Zhu is worried that the animals would be cold in the winter and hot in the summer, so in the house, there are cooling and heating units. Mama Lo likes to be clean and requires that "the kids" can only run around outside after meals. She cleans the floor and cage everyday. The area is so clean that even friends find it "unbelievable."
