Chapter 497: Bring You Home
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
These were police dogs currently living in the nursing home. Fu Tao and Old Yang began to talk about some of the details, such as handing the dogs over, purchasing dog food and fresh ingredients in advance, the number of cages that needed to be prepared, and so on. Only Zhang Zian noticed that Famous suddenly whimpered.
”What's the matter, Famous? Do you not feel well?” He asked anxiously, ”Are you tired?”
Famous shook its head.
It suddenly remembered the events of the past few days. Feng Xuan had showed Zhang Zian the dangers of the Tibetan Mastiffs through videos and hoped that Zhang Zian would assist in filming the movie. However, to truly represent the brutality of the Tibetan Mastiffs, the police dogs risked getting injured while shooting. To shoot the scene, Feng Xuan had prepared a power grid and tranquilizer guns. Feng Xuan's movie had more comprehensive protection measures compared to the movie where Babe served as a stunt double. Even so, Zhang Zian didn't intend to shoot the scene. He only agreed because Famous had asked him to stay in the crew.
If it had to choose between the needs of an individual and the needs of society, Famous thought it should choose the needs of society because it wanted to be an angel. It also wanted to make society aware of the children in the Tibetan area suffering from the hydatid disease.
Now it was just really happy to have an owner who placed its safety first.
”Thanks,” it said chokingly.
Zhang Zian was rather confused. ”What are you thanking me for?”
”Nothing, I just wanted to say it.” Famous raised its right paw to wipe the tears from the corner of its eyes.
”Um...all right.”
Zhang Zian knew that Famous must be exhausted from the movie making. It not only worked diligently to excel the director's expectations, but it also had to take care of the young actors with exceptionally poor acting skills. It'd be rather awkward if a dog outdid the humans.
Fortunately, most of the scenes in the movie had been shot, leaving only a few to reshoot. Famous could take a rest now.
Zhang Zian walked over to interrupt Fu Tao and Old Yang, asking them, ”Should we call it a day? I'm really tired. Let's arrange a day to discuss the rest of the details.”
Fu Tao glanced at him and reluctantly said, ”Young people nowadays, they are so weak that they can't even bear the slightest exhaustion. They should go to the army while they're still young and acquaint themselves with hardships. When I was young, I could run ten kilometers, carry weights while running, finish a meat bun of four kilograms in one bite, and still be energetic.”
People around Fu Tao's age liked to mention their deeds at the prime of their life. Besides, operating a police dog nursing home by himself in the remote countryside, didn't give Fu Tao many chances to talk to people. Hence why, at this moment, he was talking about himself endlessly.
Old Yang winked at Zhang Zian and said, ”Okay, we're almost finished talking. Let's go back today.”
He was quite satisfied with this place. Despite the fact that there were few staff members, there weren't any drawbacks. Fu Tao was also a former police dog trainer who had his own understanding, though outdated, of raising police dogs.
Fu Tao wanted to keep them for lunch and continue talking, but they politely declined. Since they insisted on leaving, he went to open the door for them.
Old Yang went ahead to start the car.
Zhan Tian followed Zhang Zian. It was obvious that Zhan Tian was attached to this place, it had spent a good period of time here. Zhang Zian didn't force it to leave, instead giving it enough time to remember everything here.
When Fu Tao made it to the door, barks came from the kennel, quick and desperate.
The three people froze for a moment because police dogs wouldn't easily bark unless in a dire situation.
However, judging from the sound, the cry was from one dog only, and the rest of the dogs were all quiet.
They couldn't tell which dog barked, but it was obvious to Famous that the dog barking was Luo Luo.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Fu Tao shouted, ”Who is it?” He pulled the latch and opened the door.
There stood an ordinary looking woman, wearing a short, beige jacket. It was hard to judge her age as she looked to be clinging to her youth, but there were also some shallow wrinkles on the corners of her eyes.
In her arms, there was a girl with pigtails, around two or three years old. Fearing the strange people, the girl hid her face in the arms of the woman. Just like the woman, the girl was wearing a short, beige jacket of the same style, but in a slightly larger size. The girl probably grew quickly so the larger jacket was bought, this way the girl could wear it for a longer time.
A family wagon was parked outside the door, and a man sat in the driver's seat, looking in this direction with concern.
The woman smiled. Her keen eyes looked at Fu Tao, Old Yang and Zhang Zian, quickly glancing over Famous and Zhan Tian, so as to have a complete grasp of the situation.
”Is this a police dog nursing home?” she asked gently.
