3rd Jun 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Tosca came to Noah’s Ark in a most unusual way.Remember the little dirt track outside Noah's Ark? Along that track, pass the huge plantation on both sides; at the very end, lies a Chinese cemetery.One night in the Hungry Ghost month of 2006, Raymund heard a dog howling it’s heart out. It sounded so heart breaking that Raymund was moved to unravel the mystery dog behind it.There, he saw a bull mastiff guarding a newly setup grave.
