Chapter 610
The Search and Rescue Dog Nursing Base is in the suburbs of Ningcheng; Song Tan has worked there for two years and has never been to such a remote place.
Even the base looks quite simple; as soon as the iron gate outside was pushed, someone poked their head out from inside:
"You came quite fast."
Clearly, the person in charge had given a heads-up on the way. However, the other person's expression was indifferent, and they didn't look very welcoming.
This is also normal.
No one would feel wonderful about sending away their own beloved treasures. Not to mention that the other party was spouting nonsense, saying they wanted all the sick and injured dogs.
According to the handler there, the other party either has no love at all, or has other intentions for adopting the dogs.
Or, they are just "Lord Ye who loves dragons" (a hypocrite).
Some people talk so nicely when raising small animals, calling them "heart" and "treasure," but once they get sick, they either throw them away or ignore them... If it's that kind of state, once they see those retired dogs that are currently sick, they'll probably want to back out immediately.
The person didn't say their thoughts out loud, but since they are with the dogs every day, they didn't think about hiding any emotions, and they were all on their face.
"The difficulty lies in the fact that it cannot run vigorously, and even light exercise will be a burden, but it can't not run, and it needs to take medicine regularly..."
"After all, they are all so excellent; I would feel heartbroken if I let any one of them down."
"Wow! No wonder you're called Princess Yingjun! You really do look very handsome!"
How could she not like it?
"If you come home with me, I don't know if Eight Treasure will like you..."
It clearly wanted to go! But it was afraid of being disliked.
"Princess Yingjun, you're a boy, right? I brought our Eight Treasure today; she's a very beautiful girl and hasn't even fallen in love yet!"
The first one seen upon pushing the door was the wolfdog "Princess."
"And you haven't really taken care of ones like ours; it's really tiring, and very complicated, and it's really hard to do."
"I also think it's very good; if you all agree to the adoption, I can take good care of it."
"Actually, my suggestion is that you shouldn't adopt so many sick and injured dogs."
He said excitedly: "Princess likes you!"
At this moment, the handler, who had been showing a resistant expression, slowly felt their eyes redden.
"The weather is too hot, and their bodies aren't good, so I didn't put them outside. The room here is connected to the air conditioning in my room, so it's a bit cooler."
And what the handler showed them was exactly the seven on the list this time.
He knew that Princess was hesitating and feeling uneasy.
When the handler said this, they sincerely suggested:
She put on a look of heartache:
Song Tan:... Coming from thousands of miles away, how could two be enough? Since I'm already here!
Fortunately, although the handler's expression wasn't good, their footsteps didn't stop, and they led the people directly to the area for sick and injured dogs:
"So, Princess is very obedient. By the way, you can also see if she likes you."
"Then let's take a look at Princess Yingjun; its current condition actually isn't suitable for guarding the mountain."
It's a pity, it couldn't muster any energy at all.
Even she followed and stepped forward, and under the handler's slightly satisfied gaze, she slowly reached out her hand:
At the very least, the affinity was maxed out.
This way of speaking... why is it so strange?
Song Tan truly could understand.
At this time, it revealed its half-eye that was slightly oozing disgusting yellow water. It wasn't just the eye; the surrounding fur was also in an unhealed state. To tell the truth, it was truly a bit ferocious and terrifying at first glance.
The handler couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise, and then looked at Song Tan—
The next moment, Princess whimpered, and then tried hard to push her head into her palm, her body almost sticking into her arms.
The ones at the nursing center over there were either elderly dogs whose condition had already deteriorated, or sick and injured dogs; anyway, they didn't look good.
"How about this. Let me see these sick and injured dogs first. If they all like me, then I'll have to trouble you to apply."
She said sincerely: "I want to take you home, are you willing?"
"Can I touch it?"
"Princess."
"I know." Song Tan took the initiative to move closer, then reached out to touch Princess's head:
But the person in charge disagreed first.
"This is a Kunming dog, the coat color is standard, her name is Princess, and she's only three years old this year. Look at this young lady, how robust her physique is! She performed very well when executing missions. As a result, she encountered five explosions while searching and rescuing a while ago, and her eye couldn't be saved."
At the same time, her two paws also moved uneasily.
"But I really like dogs, and I also really want to take care of them."
The handler watched, feeling both sad and happy. Looking at the person in charge who was equally surprised on the side, they stood up: "No wonder you made that kind of phone call to me; it seems you really have a high level of skill in raising dogs."
Indeed, judging by the features alone, it really was more outstanding than Eight Treasure.
This thought flashed through the handler's mind.
And after seeing Princess, the next one was a German Shepherd—
Based on this point, the handler only turned slightly to the side now:
At that time, bringing in a few more dogs with such good appearance—dogs aren't stupid; the more self-esteem they have, the more they will feel sad in their hearts.
"His name is Princess Yingjun, one and a half years old this year. The injury is on his leg; his right front knee is worn out, and it's a bit inconvenient to move."
Song Tan reached out to touch Princess Yingjun's head, and seeing this dog whimpering and wanting to rub into her arms very comfortably just like Princess, she couldn't help but laugh out loud:
The fur is dense, and the eyes are bright and spirited. If it weren't for the worn-out knee and being a bit older, it would truly be very excellent.
What she thought in her heart was: I really should have asked again and brought Little Wang and the others in. If I had brought them in, the other party would know my strength once they saw them.
The handler looked at Princess, who was arching into Song Tan's arms with great enthusiasm:
Princess had an exceptionally gentle gaze, and at this moment, she unexpectedly sat up slowly, her eyes staring straight at Song Tan.
While speaking, he went forward familiarly and reached out to stroke Princess, and the other party changed from a lying state to a prone one, and licked the handler's palm with unusual enthusiasm.
He thought for a while, and didn't rashly refuse, after all, it was really hard to see Princess like someone so much—originally, because of her special situation, before opening for adoption, they had already arranged for several familiar comrades-in-arms to come and contact her.
However, Song Tan's expression didn't change at all.
Song Tan reached out her palm:
In such a large nursing center, the sick and injured dogs are definitely not just the seven that were opened for application.
"Taking care of them is very energy-consuming. Even if your family runs a farm and has free time, it's still hard to give them that free time."
"It doesn't matter." Song Tan squatted down in front of Princess Yingjun familiarly:
But since the others haven't been opened and are still staying at the base, there must be other factors to consider.
As for why she was hesitating and uneasy, he also knew—during the time Princess was injured, her mood had always been very low, and now that she had no way to continue working, suddenly hearing Song Tan's words...
The handler's heart relaxed, and they weren't so resistant to her anymore:
"However, since Princess likes you so much, if Princess Yingjun is also willing to go with you later, then we can make an exception and apply upwards to let you adopt two."
To tell the truth, the dogs Song Tan raises aren't bad; their condition is just too good!
