Chapter 459: The stray dog encountered

The two drove all the way to a pet store on the commercial street.

After parking the car, the two walked into the store holding hands.

"Hello, is there anything you need?"

The young woman who was cleaning the store saw them enter and asked with a bright smile.

"We'll look around first."

Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly. "Okay!"

The woman nodded and continued cleaning with a broom.

The space in the store wasn't large, and there were all kinds of pets in cages all around, most of which were cats and dogs.

An area inside was filled with all kinds of pet food and toys, piled up like a mountain on the shelves, dazzling to the eyes.

"Wow, Brother, look, this dog is so cute."

Xia Nuannuan pulled Qin Tian to a cage, looking at a dog inside with glowing eyes.

This dog had dense fur, which made its eyes look a bit small, and its frame and body shape were a bit rough compared to its size, looking chubby.

"It is quite cute."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile. "What kind of dog is this?"

Xia Nuannuan asked, puzzled.

"Not quite sure, looks like a Chow Chow?"

Qin Tian shook his head.

"Right, that's a small Chow Chow."

The young woman not far away responded, then briefly introduced the dog.

"This kind of dog's personality is like a cat, relatively cold, very smart but not easy to train. However, there are also advantages: they are very independent, don't need to spend too much effort to take care of, and don't cause damage or tear down the house."

Clearly, this woman was quite honest and didn't just talk about the advantages just to fool customers into spending money to buy pets.

"Is this your own store?"

Qin Tian asked casually.

"Yes, it's my store!"

The woman nodded with a smile.

"Is this dog hard to raise?"

Xia Nuannuan asked with a regretful expression.

"Not really, it's still quite obedient, how should I put it!"

The woman organized her words and continued: "It's like a cat, doesn't like to please its owner, isn't very enthusiastic toward people, especially strangers or strange animals. They will stay alert and have a certain degree of aggressiveness."

"I see!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in realization.

Just then, a small gray curly-haired dog ran out from somewhere, came to the woman's feet, circled around, and wagged its tail frantically.

"Hungry? Wait a bit longer, you'll eat soon."

The woman looked down at the dog and said with a gentle smile.

"This is a Teddy, right? Are you raising it?"

Xia Nuannuan asked curiously.

"Yes!"

The woman nodded with a smile and said: "Teddies are more enthusiastic toward their owners, like to act spoiled, and are relatively suitable for beginners to raise. They have small bodies and don't shed hair."

"In that case, it's quite nice!"

Xia Nuannuan was a bit tempted.

"No rush, let's look at others!"

Qin Tian hurriedly interjected.

To be honest, he didn't really like Teddies. Most men wouldn't like this little thing.

First of all, this little thing is too clingy. Whether it's a pet or a girlfriend, boys won't like those who are too clingy.

Then, it's too much like a doll, and it's not easy to take care of. Its appearance depends entirely on people grooming it. If you don't groom it for a few days, its appearance will collapse.

Most boys are too lazy to groom themselves, let alone pets.

Most importantly, this thing has a "hump-everything" meme, whether male or female, it likes to hold various things and make indecent movements, even the owner's legs.

It's no wonder boys really can't like this little thing, and Qin Tian is naturally no exception.

Conversely, girls generally prefer raising this.

Afterward, the two continued to look at other pets.

The female store manager continued to introduce them while feeding her Teddy.

Like most girls, Xia Nuannuan clearly preferred cute small dogs, and she also had great interest in several kittens.

"Brother, which one do you think is good?"

Xia Nuannuan had a bit of decision paralysis and handed the decision-making power to Qin Tian.

"I think they're all quite good, you decide!"

Qin Tian smiled.

"Don't say they're all quite good. This is something we're going to raise together, you have to give some advice!"

Xia Nuannuan said helplessly.

Just as she finished speaking, a dog bark suddenly came.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and found a gray dog that looked dirty, standing at the entrance of the pet store, looking toward the female store manager.

"You're here again!"

Seeing this dog, a gentle smile appeared on the female store manager's face.

"Woof, woof!!"

The small gray dog barked.

"Alright, alright, coming."

The female store manager seemed to be able to understand its words, took a bowl, poured some dog food into it, walked over, placed it in front of the small gray dog, and patted its head.

"Eat!"

"Woof!"

The small gray dog barked as if thanking the female store manager, then buried its head and started eating heartily.

"Where did it come from?"

Xia Nuannuan pulled Qin Tian over and asked curiously.

"A stray dog from nearby. When it first came, its leg was injured, seemed to have been bitten by other dogs. I helped it treat the wound and fed it some dog food. It comes over occasionally recently."

The female store manager replied.

"Can I touch it?"

Xia Nuannuan squatted down beside her and reached out to touch its head.

"Be careful, stray dogs generally have strong vigilance, and it's quite dirty, might have bugs or something."

The female store manager reminded her with concern.

"I know."

Xia Nuannuan nodded and tried to touch it cautiously.

However, just as her hand was about to touch the gray dog, the gray dog, which was eating, suddenly backed away, bared its teeth at her, and made a fierce posture of wanting to attack.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Xia Nuannuan said softly.

"Nuannuan, be careful."

Qin Tian also reminded her, worried she would be bitten, so he also squatted down to protect her.

"Hmm, it's fine, I feel it won't bite me, it's just scared and trying to scare me."

Xia Nuannuan smiled gently and pushed the bowl containing the dog food toward the gray dog lightly.

The gray dog stared at her with its black eyes, as if it understood she had no malice, stepped forward, and buried its head to continue eating the dog food.

After it ate for a while, Xia Nuannuan tried to reach out again and touched its head.

This time the gray dog didn't panic or resist, still burying its head and eating the dog food, its short tail wagging non-stop.

"It seems to trust you very much. When I first saw it, it took a lot of effort to help it treat its wound, and I almost got bitten. Fortunately, I wore gloves."

The female store manager said with a surprised tone.

"Hmm, hmm, it's quite obedient."

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a sweet smile, looking at the small gray dog thoughtfully.

"Do you want to raise it?"

Qin Tian saw her intention and asked.

"I do have this idea. Meeting it here can be considered quite a fate. Brother, do you think it's okay to raise it?"

Xia Nuannuan looked at him with curved eyebrows.

"Of course, I also think it's quite good."

Qin Tian expressed his approval with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 460 =====
