Many people in the pet shop, including Zhang Zian, witnessed the incident.

Moments ago, the little boy held the Teacup Puppy in his hands. Unlike normal pet owners who put the Teacup Puppies in cups to take pictures of them, the little boy treated the dog like a toy and pulled its legs and twisted its ears.

The dog turned around to bite the little boy, who swiftly withdrew his hands. The dog lost its balance and fell from his hands. Fearing that the dog would get hurt, the little boy grabbed one of its back legs in the air, causing it to be dislocated.

The dog cried in pain and snarled violently, but because it was upside down, it couldn't bite anyone. The little boy didn't want put the injured dog down because he knew it might bite people.

Annoyed and embarrassed, the rich woman went to slap the boy.

Zhang Zian reacted quickly. He grabbed the woman's wrist to keep her from slapping the boy, then he pulled out a box from the shelves behind him for the dog to sit in.

”This is none of your business! I'm punishing my own son!” The woman's face became grim.

”It's not my business what you do at home, but you're in my shop,” Zhang Zian responded while examining the dog. ”So, you need to obey my rules.”

Zhang Zian didn't care about other people's parenting styles, but he'd never allow anyone to beat their children in his pet shop.

The little boy was scared, but he had a naughty smile on his face. Obviously, it wasn't his first time getting beat.

After being put in the box, the dog was no longer freaking out. It huddled in the corner, its dislocated leg twitching from time to time.

”How's the puppy, Mr. Store Manager?” asked a concerned Snowy.

The rich woman extended her hand to Zhang Zian. ”Give me my dog back!”

Zhang Zian nodded. ”You can have it back when you leave the shop. If it bites you outside my shop, it's none of my business.”

The woman suddenly became less arrogant.

”What do you mean?” she asked.

”It's very simple. The smaller a dog is, the stronger its defense mechanism is, and the more it likes to bite. Once injured, a small dog is more easily provoked,” Zhang Zian explained.

Just like the Tibetan Mastiffs, Teacup Puppies didn't refer to a certain dog breed, but it was the collective name of several breeds of tiny dogs that could fit inside teacups. Teacup Puppies included Teacup Poodles, Teacup Chihuahuas, Teacup Pomeranians, Teacup Yorkies, etc.

In recent years, perhaps due to the influence of socialite Paris Hilton, many celebrities took pride in raising Teacup Puppies. However, Teacup Puppies were the results of deformity, like dwarfs. Their hearts and lungs were too small to support the normal circulation of their bodies. They survived only by accelerating the frequencies of their heartbeats and breaths. Their overly petite size also caused their bones to be extremely fragile, so contact with humans that were normal for average dogs might cause injury to Teacup Puppies.
