Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The squad and the ten retired German Shepherds got on the bus and went back to the filming location.
After they got off, Feng Xuan and his assistant were called by the crew members. It seemed that something had happened. Old Yang yelled and instructed the crew members to take the dog cages from the vehicle.
These stainless steel cages were property of the police dog training base and they had to be returned. The crew also had gotten some average iron cages ready, and though they were not as shiny and stable as the stainless steel ones, they could still be used during the shoot.
Zhang Zian didn't have much to do, so he squatted down and watched Old Yang busily do things.
”Where's the water? I'll take anything drinkable,” Old Yang asked, walking around and setting things up.
”There's a water dispenser over there.” Zhang Zian pointed to it. He knew Old Yang wanted to feed the dogs so he stood up and said, ”I'll go with you and we can carry a bucket of water back together.”
”Hey, that would be great. I'm just worried about where we can find the water.” Old Yang touched his head and looked out, murmuring, ”There are so many people in the crew. This whole place is the shooting location?”
Zhang Zian signaled for Famous to catch up. ”Yeah, these are all the shooting locations provided by Binhai Studio. Since we have explosion scenes sometimes, we needed a deserted location. Besides, we need to clear the place and make it open to staff only anyways.
As there were ten dogs waiting to be fed, a large amount of water was needed. Zhang Zian had to carry the whole container of drinking water back with Old Yang.
Old Yang opened the water and brought over stainless steel food bowls, then had Zhang Zian tip over the bucket. The two worked together to pour water into every bowl and then put them back into the steel cages.
These dogs hadn't been drinking water after their meals and had been on the road for a long time, so they were very thirsty. They immediately started to drink as soon as the water was in front of them.
Zhang Zian was still thinking about the sad scene that had happened back at the base, so he took the opportunity to ask, ”Old Yang, all those police dogs—I mean the real police dogs, not the retired ones—what will happen to them once they actually retire?”
Old Yang was busy with his hands, but started talking. He first confirmed Sheng Ke's words. The official police dogs were in the system, separate from the policemen themselves. Their system was more like the gun and police car inventory, where they all had their own numbers. They couldn't be shared with the public, even they were damaged or aged. This also applied to the police dogs.
Unless the dogs were injured or sick, the police dogs technically had to work for eight years before they retired. After they retired, they would usually have three choices. The first one was stay where they were. They could also go to policemen or trainers as pets, which was what Cui Yi was aiming for. The last option was for any dog lover to adopt them after signing a contract.
Zhang Zian heard the three options and thought they were pretty decent. The police dogs worked for their society for half their lives, then could finally rest in good health. At least they didn't have to be abandoned.
