The search and rescue dog retirement base is in the suburbs of Ningcheng. Song Tan has been working here for two years and has never been to such a remote place.
Even the base looked quite simple. When the iron door was pushed open, someone poked his head out:
"It came pretty quickly."
Apparently, the person in charge had greeted him on the way. However, the other party had a dull expression and didn't look very welcoming.
This is normal.
Anyone who wants to give away their beloved pets will not feel happy. What's more, the other party said that they would take all the injured dogs.
According to the breeder here, the other party either has no love at all or has other intentions in adopting the dog.
Or, it's just Ye Gong's love for dragons.
Some people talk so nicely when they raise animals, treating them like their darlings and babies, but once they get sick, they either throw them away or ignore them... If this is the case, when you look back at those retired dogs that are sick, you will probably give up immediately.
He didn't say what he was thinking, but probably because he was with the dog every day, he didn't try to hide any emotions, so they were all on his face.
Song Tan really could understand.
What she was thinking was: I should really ask again and bring the king and his men in. If they were brought in, the other party would know my strength when they saw me.
But the person in charge disagreed at first.
To be honest, the dog Song Tan raises is not bad, it's just in too good a condition!
The dogs in the nursing home here are either elderly dogs whose condition has deteriorated or injured dogs. Anyway, they don’t look good.
At this time, bring in a few dogs of such good appearance - dogs are not stupid, the more self-esteem they have, the more uncomfortable they will feel.
Fortunately, although the breeder looked unhappy, he did not stop and took people directly to the area for injured dogs:
"It's too hot, and they're not in good health, so I didn't put them outside. This room is connected to the air conditioner in my room, so it's a little cooler."
In such a large nursing home, there are definitely more than just the four injured dogs available for application.
But since the others have not been opened and remain in the base, there must be other factors to consider.
The four animals the keeper showed them were the ones on this list.
The first one I saw when I pushed the door open was the wolf-blue "Princess".
"This is a Kunming dog with a standard coat color. Her name is Princess and she is only three years old this year. Look at the little girl, she is so agile! She performed very well during missions. However, she encountered a second explosion during a search and rescue operation a while ago and lost her eyes."
As he spoke, he walked forward and reached out to touch the princess as if he was in an expert position. The other party changed from a lying position to a prone position and licked the keeper's palm with extra enthusiasm.
At this time, half of its eye was exposed, with disgusting yellow water oozing out of it. Not only the eye, but also the surrounding fur was in an unhealed state. To be honest, it looked quite hideous at first glance.
However, Song Tan's expression did not change.
She even walked forward and slowly stretched out her hand in the slightly satisfied look of the breeder:
"Can I touch it?"
The breeder felt relieved and was no longer so resistant to her:
"Sure, the princess is very obedient. By the way, you can also see if she likes you."
How can you not like it
Song Tan extended his hand:
"Princess."
She said sincerely: "I want to take you home, are you willing?"
The princess had an exceptionally gentle look in her eyes. Unexpectedly, she slowly sat up at this moment, staring straight at Song Tan.
At the same time, the two paws moved restlessly.
The breeder opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then looked at Song Tan—
He knew that the princess was hesitant and uneasy.
As for why he was hesitant, he also knew that the princess had been in a very low mood during the time she was injured, and now she couldn't continue working. Suddenly, she heard Song Tan's words...
It clearly wanted to go, but was afraid of being disliked.
At this moment, the breeder, who had been showing resistance, gradually had red eyes.
He said excitedly: "The princess likes you!"
"I know." Song Tan took another step closer and reached out to touch the princess' head:
"I think it's a good animal too. If you agree to adopt it, I can take good care of it."
The next moment, the princess whimpered, and then tried to push her head into her palm, her body almost pressed into her arms.
The breeder looked at it with a mixture of sadness and joy. Then he looked at the equally surprised manager and stood up: "No wonder you called me like that. It seems that she is really good at raising dogs."
At least the affinity is maxed out.
After seeing the princess, the next one is a German Shepherd—
"His name is Yingjun, he is seven and a half years old. The injury is on his leg, the left front knee is worn out, and it is a bit inconvenient for him to move."
"The difficulty is that it can't run vigorously, and even slight exercise will be a burden, but it can't stop running, and it has to take medicine regularly..."
The breeder said this with sincere advice:
"Actually, my advice is that you shouldn't adopt so many injured dogs."
"Taking care of them takes a lot of energy. Even if your family runs a farm and you have free time, it's hard to give them that free time."
"And you haven't really taken care of them before. It's really tiring, tedious, and difficult to do."
The keeper looked at the princess who was leaning passionately in Song Tan's arms:
"But the princess likes you so much. If Yingjun is willing to go with you later, we can make an exception and apply to the higher authorities to let you adopt two of them."
Song Tan: ... We have come a long way, how can two be enough? We are already here!
She pretended to be distressed:
"But I really like dogs, and I really want to take care of them."
"How about this. Let me meet these injured dogs first. If they all like me, I'll have to trouble you to apply for them."
"After all, they are all so outstanding. I would feel heartbroken if I let any of them down."
What you said... Why is it so weird
This thought flashed through the breeder's mind.
He thought about it and did not refuse rashly. After all, it was really rare to see the princess like someone so much. Due to its special situation, several familiar comrades had been arranged to interact with it before it was open for adoption.
What a pity, it can't muster any energy at all.
Based on this, the breeder now just slightly sideways:
"Then let's take a look at Yingjun. Its current condition is actually not suitable for watching mountains."
"It doesn't matter." Song Tan squatted in front of Yingjun with familiarity:
"Wow! No wonder you're called Yingjun! You really are very handsome!"
Indeed, judging from the facial features alone, he is even better than the Three Treasures.
It has thick fur and bright black eyes. If it weren't for the worn knees and its age, it would be a very good dog.
Song Tan reached out and touched the handsome man's head. Seeing the dog humming and wanting to rub against her arms like a princess, she couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Yingjun, you are a boy, right? I brought our third child today. She is a very beautiful girl and has never been in a relationship before!"
"If you come home with me, I don't know if Sanbao will like you..."
