Ghost Dog 狗鬼

According to ancient text the earliest documentation of ghost in China is not male or female, but of animal ghost, while in the West the most common animal ghost are dogs, cats and horses. Every time I read on the news about dog suddenly ran into the road causing traffic accidents, I would think if that dog is a ghost? Is it looking for revenge searching for the owner who has abandoned it? There are a lot of traffic accidents in Hong Kong ‘caused’ by dogs, are they all caused by the same ghost dog?

聽說中國最早記載的鬼並非男或女，而是動物幽靈，而在西方最常見的動物鬼魂依次序為狗、貓和馬。每當我讀報章看到由突然衝出來的狗而引發的交通意外，我都會想，那隻狗是否幽靈？它衝出馬路是否為了尋找拋棄它的主人復仇？全港大量由狗「引致」的交通意外，是否都是同一隻狗鬼魂在攪鬼？
