In the past two years, she has been the only person responsible for handling all major and minor affairs in this house for stray dogs.

In order to take care of the stray dogs more easily, she has not gone back to her home in Kwun Tong for over 10 years.

Everyone praises her kindness. | Her son Hu Ka Chun (胡家俊) and she only meet once every several months in Tai Tong. Tse often brings home old, weak, sick and disabled dogs to care for. | Chung (阿鍾) is Tse's husband. He appreciates her wife because she is like an iron hand in a velvet glove. They have consensus not to have children. In order to look after the dogs, Tse has been bitten many times. Problems of noise and hygiene often cause complaints. However, these do not hinder her passion to look after these dogs. How many people will dedicate their free time, almost spending 24 hours every day to look after and stay with these “unseen” stray dogs? If a stray dog is able to communicate with people, it may say, “I need you”…
不惑之年的謝婉儀是元朗「阿棍屋」創辦人。兩年來，她一個人負責打理這間流浪狗屋的大小事務。阿棍屋現在靠善心人的捐款營運，偶爾會有義工來幫忙。義工Ｊａｃｋｙ對她讚不絕口……。蔡映卿年過花甲，為了方便照顧流浪狗，近十年來沒有返回觀塘的家。有動物組織定期送狗糧給大棠的流浪狗，但她就堅持自己付錢給狗隻洗澡。她寧願自己辛苦，也要牠們過得舒服。她覺得，這是一種精神寄託，當牠們是兒女般親密。她的愛心，眾口稱善。她與兒子胡家俊在大棠幾個月才見一次面。婉儀通常會將一些老弱病殘的狗隻放在家裡照料。阿鍾是婉儀的丈夫，很佩服外柔內剛的妻子。他倆都有共識，不會生小孩。為了照顧牠們，婉儀曾經被咬傷過很多次，噪音和衛生問題遭人投訴，但這都無減她照料這些狗的熱誠。這群毫不起眼的流浪狗，有幾多人願意奉獻自己的時間，每日幾乎二十四小時去照顧牠們，陪伴牠們？如果流浪狗懂得與人溝通，可能會講一句：「我需要你」……
