There was no trace of wind in the air, and within a few steps, Zhang Zian’s clothes were drenched with sweat.
Fortunately, the pet clinic is not too far away, and he walks fast, and he will be there in ten minutes.
Sun Xiaomeng’s car was parked in front of the clinic. The hood was still hot, and another unknown luxury car was parked next to it.
It was early in the morning, and the clinic was empty.
Zhang Zian pushed the door.
Nurse Longxian was yawning as she cleans up the nurse’s table, and when she saw him, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
“Director Zhang, is there something for you to be here so early?” he asked.
“Is there an emergency?” He asked openly without hesitating.
“Yes. Miss Xiao Meng just entered,” she replied with certainty.
“Well…what animal is it? A cat? A dog?” He asked again. If the answer was not a dog, then he would go back to his house to avoid disturbing others.
“Dog. I was still sleeping when I heard it slamming the door.” Long Xian was afraid that the customers inside could hear her and murmured. She usually sleeps in the clinic, and it can save her a lot of rent.
“Oh…what’s wrong? Trauma? Or …” he asked again.
“Uh…it’s not trauma. If it’s a trauma, I won’t call Sister Xiaomeng…Anyway, It’s not in good shape. I can’t see anything wrong with it either.” She shook her head.
“Shall I go in and see?” He asked.
Longxian laughed. “As long as the customer has no complaints, that is fine. Why not wear a mask? The customer may think that you are a veterinarian.”
Zhang Zian took the mask she had handed him, walked to the entrance of the clinic, and then probed and looked inside.
A golden retriever was lying on the consultation table, looking very weak.
Sun Xiaomeng held a stethoscope and moved back and forth between its chest and abdomen. Although she wore a mask to cover most of her face, he still could see that her face was rather serious, which meant that the condition of the golden retriever might not be good.
The golden retriever’s master was a middle-aged man. He stood anxiously beside and kept asking, “How is it? How is it?”
“Cough!”
Zhang Zian coughed and made a gesture for him to calm down and stop talking, for it is affecting the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment.
Sun Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows unexpectedly when she saw him, but didn’t say anything, focused on examining the golden retriever.
The middle-aged man may have really treat Zhang Zian as a medical staff in the clinic, but just glanced at him. Nevertheless, he did stop asking further questions.
Zhang Zian looked around and saw that this golden retriever’s eyes were dull, its response to a stranger’s arrival was slow, was not moving much, and its eyeballs were a little pale. It lay on the side of the consultation table, and its mouth was not closed. Its tongue dangled weakly from its mouth, and the saliva moistened the white cloth.
After a while, Sun Xiaomeng took off her stethoscope and put on the golden retriever a special oxygen inhalation device for pets.
“How is it?” The man could not help but ask. He can’t wait anymore.
Sun Xiaomeng shook her head. “The cause is unknown at the moment, and it can only be treated conservatively. Further examination may be required…”
“You don’t know?” The man seemed to be made so furious he smirked. “Can you cure it, just tell me in my face. If you can’t cure it, say that you can’t cure it! Just because you are nearby, that is why I came here. If I knew you couldn’t do it, I would have taken it directly to the pet hospital. Why would I waste time here? ”
“I’m sorry, I can understand your mood, but…” Sun Xiaomeng whispered and advised.
“No more, but If you can cure it, say you can cure it. If you can’t cure it, you can say no. So can you or can you not?” The man interrupted rudely.
Zhang Zian watched and felt embarrassed for Sun Xiaomeng, but this is also the daily state of domestic medical staff. Whether it is treating people or treating pets-medical people who treat people may still be valued, There are also measures in major hospitals to prevent trouble, but doctors and nurses in such pet clinics may actually be more at risk. After all, people cherish pets that have been with them for years or even decades, and they have already been treated as family and friends.
“Friend, don’t worry. You want the doctor to treat the dog, so the least you can do is to talk about the situation first. How did this dog get sick?” He began to help.
“How did it get sick? How do I know? Over the last few days, it was pretty good. However, these days it got more and more lethargic…Usually, it jumps to bed in the morning to wake me up with my wife, but this morning I woke up with my wife, and It lay on the ground like this…” The man said and got more and more distressed.
“Did it want any unusual food these days? For example, when you are going out to walk the dog.” Zhang Zian asked again.
“No! It ate as usual!” The man snapped back.
“Then…what brand of dog food does it eat?”
The questions of Zhang Zian surprised both Sun Xiaomeng and the middle-aged man.
“Dog food brand? It’sImported, what’s the name…Leshi? It’s the one that has always been advertised recently.” The man thought about it, “What does this have to do with dog food? It has been eating it for a long time, and there is no problem. It’s only over these days that its condition started going bad.
Zhang Zian’s heart sank.
Le Shi was neither potato chips nor TV, but the Chinese translation of the dog food imported from the United States. When Qi Tong came to sell to Zhang Zian, there was no official translation, but for the convenience of sales in China, they came up with a nice-sounding name so that it will leave a good impression on people.
He couldn’t say that this Golden Retriever’s condition was related to dog food, but its sluggish state resembled the strangely sick employees at the scrap purchase station-he didn’t see it, he just heard about it though. Thus, he cannot guarantee the degree of similarity between the two cases.
The middle-aged man aggressively asked Sun Xiaomeng whether it could be cured. He had already looked down on such a small clinic. If there were a large pet hospital nearby, he would have already brought a dog here.
“I’m sorry, I can’t give any guarantee, and the equipment here is not complete. If you are not assured, then go to a larger pet hospital.” Sun Xiaomeng said helplessly. She actually wanted to find out the cause of the dog, but the attitude of the dog owner made her feel anxious, in case it was not cured…she didn’t want to take the risk.
“Hum! Say it early then! Grumble…”
The middle-aged man stomped his feet, unhooked the oxygen mask, hugged the golden retriever vigorously, stepped out of the clinic, and kept on shouting vulgarities.
Sun Xiaomeng has long been used to it, and she tried to hide the unwillingness and humiliation in her eyes. Taking off her mask lightly, she asked Zhang Zian. “Why are you here in the morning? And why are you asking about dog food? Is there something that you know?”
Zhang Zian thought slightly and said, “Oh, I came here to say that, I have something to go abroad recently. Binhai may have a typhoon crossing this season. When I’m not here, if you have time, help me look out for my store. Of course, you have to be careful here as well.”
He changed the topic for now and avoided answering her questions because he didn’t know how to answer them. He didn’t want to talk about things that he was not sure about.
“By the way, if you encounter a dog with that symptom again, it’s better just to avoid dealing with it,” he advised before returning to the store.

“See over there. These are the stray dogs.”
Besides the artificial woods, Zhang Zian said as he used a fan to fan himself. He used his other finger to point towards an open space where the dogs are resting. This was to indicate to suspect Y as to where to look.
Suspect Y is wearing a combination of convenient clothes, cotton short-sleeved shirt, and cotton denim shorts today. She first took the bus to the nearest station, and then came by riding a shared bicycle. The weather was hot, and she sweated a lot coming here.
She glanced resentfully at Zhang Zian…The fan in his hand. In her heart, she thought that he is very ungentlemanly. She was the one that was so hot till she was sweating. He didn’t offer to fan her, but at least he should take the initiative and loan her the fan isn’t it?
Zhang Zian pretended not to understand. To him, she decided to ride a bicycle. She cannot have that and also want to be comfortable. Is that wanting all the good things for oneself?
“So many…they are all stray dogs?”
When suspect Y saw the number of dogs, she couldn’t help but be surprised. This is because, in her previous imagination, the so-called “herd” of stray dogs might be as many as twenty or thirty, but in front of her eyes were full of stray dogs. The number is far beyond her imagination, which almost makes her think that this is a breeding base for dogs.
“Let’s go forward and take a closer look.”
Zhang Zian gestured her, but she hesitated to follow.
“There are so many dogs, will there be any danger?”
She dared to stand naked in the downtown area and allow hundreds of people to watch her but did not dare to take a step closer to the dogs. She instinctively stood next to the Wuling Hong Guang MPV, as if she might hide in the car at any time, a car that runs on gasoline. Something that she hates.
“It’s okay, although they are all stray dogs, even pirates have a code. They are…atypical stray dogs that are entirely self-reliant,” Zhang Zian explained.
“Sold reliant?”
“Well, they’ll pick up empty bottles. When they pick up more, I’ll sell them and buy dog food to feed them.”
“What?”
Suspect Y couldn’t believe her ears.
“Dogs are very well trained, especially this group of stray dogs. With a little guidance, they will imitate the behavior of their leaders and eventually form a conditioned reflex-although they are not clear about the logic, they understand that empty bottles can be replaced with something that they can eat. To them, that’s enough.”
Zhang Zian confided some details to her, albeit a half-truth. In the long run, he still hopes that someone can share his pressure of feeding them. Although it is the hot summer now, time always passes quickly. Autumn will come and then go. Come winter, and he will have limited energy. It would be great if she could help the stray dogs find a place to stay.
He led by example and walked towards the dog herd. The stray dogs have long been accustomed to his existence, and now, unless it is the usual mealtime, there is little to no response to his arrival.
Little White had already discussed it with him in advance, ran to the other side of the road first, picked up an empty bottle, and brought it back here.
The other dogs learned to do it in an orderly manner as well. They ran to the dump to fetch an empty bottle and then lay back in the shade again, sticking their tongues out to rest.
Suspect Y is stunned. Is this really a group of stray dogs?
She had long suspected that he was the pet shop owner who trained cats to dance. Seeing this scene, she was even more convinced of her suspicion-although he said it lightly, why couldn’t other people do what he did?
“I must remind you that it is best not to spread the word of what you are seeing. Otherwise, it will be known by others. When that happens, I don’t know what kind of reaction it will be. I heard that there are so many dogs here, which may attract some stray animal management centers. Maybe it will lead to people who are looking to cause mischief, do you understand?” Zhang Zian said.
If he was replaced by someone else, he would not dare to let the other party see the complete process of stray dogs without them completely knowing each other. However, for this extreme environmental and animal protection supporter, he felt that she would not publicize it. This is because that would cause trouble to these stray dogs, something she would probably object to.
Sure enough, after a little hesitation, she nodded firmly, “I see, I won’t tell anyone.”
Zhang Zian and Little White glanced at each other and nodded secretly.
“Come here, come over and try it. They won’t bite you.” He waved her forward again.
She decided to build up her courage and carefully approached step by step. She watched the reaction of the stray dogs with horror at each step. As with each step, she got closer. The closer she gets, the more intense the food rancidity and odor of feces poured into her nose, which forced her to hold back her nausea. She covered her nose and breathed through her mouth, reminding herself in her heart that the next time she comes, she must prepare a mask. However, it’s hard to wear a mask on such a hot day.
Zhang Zian and Little White have practiced with the dogs in advance, asking all dogs never to get up suddenly or bark loudly, so as not to scare her. This is not to mention that, for a woman like her, it would be tough. Even when Zhang Zian first came, he was almost scared to death.
She wasn’t a timid person. When she walked over to the dog group and saw that they didn’t react too fiercely, her courage became bigger and bigger, and she tried to squat down and stroke the head of a stray dog.
The dog was a little stressed and agitated, and often thought of getting up, but was glared down by Little White and lay down obediently.
Howling…
A few fluffy little dogs chased each other happily and ran not far away from her feet. These little dogs were the group that was just born when Zhang Zian had just arrived at the rubbish dump. Now is the time when they are the most naughty.
Suspect Y was attracted by these cute little puppies and bent down to squat, hugging them one by one. Compared to big dogs, little puppies are not dirty and have no odor.
While she was playing with the little puppies, Zhang Zian whispered to Little White, “Are you sure you are not going to the United States with us?”
Little White stared silently toward the east sea. The other side of the sea was the United States.
“I want to go, but they need me more here, and I can’t leave yet.” It regretfully shook its head, “If there is a chance in the future…”
Zhang Zian nodded and comforted. “It doesn’t matter. There is definitely a chance. We just went to Los Angeles last year. This time, we head to San Francisco, which is not far from Los Angeles. When these stray dogs have settled down completely, there will definitely be opportunities to go to the United States. I also have a partnership with a cat house in Los Angeles. When the weather is cooler, I plan to visit them to train a new batch of puppet cats.”Read latest chapters at listnovel.com
“Okay,” Little White stretched out a front paw, “I wish you all the best.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Zian crouched down and shook its claws. “I shouldn’t go too long… During the time I am away, you need to be extra careful not to let the stray dogs eat that American dog food.”
Little White stared at him, “This time, you decided to go to the United States, has it something to do with that dog food?”
“How do I say it…I have no evidence, but my gut tells me that I must go to America in person before everything becomes too late…”
Zhang Zian sighed.
