Hound Guardian

Ah Huang, a dog demon, guards its master’s grave for a hundred years. It finally meets its master’s reincarnation, Ahe, only to watch Ahe be abused to death by her husband and mother-in-law. Ah Huang borrows a body to return from the dead. It raises Ahe’s children, Shitou and Suier, as their mother. After avenging Ahe, it protects the village, punishes tyrants and defends women and children. During a severe drought, it travels far to divert water. In war, it rallies packs of dogs to shield the villagers. A hundred years later in modern times, Ah Huang is awakened by a little girl who looks exactly like Ahe in childhood. It learns it has become a patron deity worshipped for generations.
