A fabulous twenty year career in wedding photography—yet photographer CM Leung says it was undone by a single regret. He had once captured countless radiant moments of life: the tears of bride and groom, the smiles of family and friends, the eternity of love and promise. His work earned him many international and local wedding photography awards. But five years ago, when his two beloved dogs passed away one after another, he realized that among the millions of shutter clicks, there were no images of simply being with them. The “missed moments” opened a wound in his heart that could not heal, and at the same time ignited the most important turning point of his life: he resolved to bear witness to every “moments not to be missed”.
CM Leung decided to step into corners forgotten by time, offering free family photo sessions for pets who are gravely ill and old, approaching the “Rainbow Bridge.” His lens especially lingers on local mongrel dogs—lives that wander quietly on the margins of the city. Though no one could stop the passing of time, through images traces of every journey of love can be preserved. This film records the photographer’s own process of healing, showing through his lens that local mongrels too can be seen, remembered, and cherished, bringing warmth to the families. They may seem ordinary, yet they change our understanding of love, life, death, and companionship. With his camera, he seeks to send blessings, respect, and gratitude to them before they cross the Rainbow Bridge.

In the summer of 2023, a baby kitten was found in the middle of a corridor in a secondary school. The saved kitten was named Chester. As a result, a cat lounge was set up in the school, which also became home to two more adopted cats: Chloe and Natalie. The trio from then on became cat teachers of the school, giving lessons on life education to students as well as teachers.
