887 Ownerless Dog (1/2)

Zhang Zian listened to the grandmother. She said that the Pomeranian was not bought by her, but that she had picked it up. Zian immediately reacted that the Pomeranian must have been raised in the Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base. It must have escaped with the other cats and dogs while Old Time Tea and Famous were causing a scene there, but because of its age and short legs, it soon got separated from the pack.

Old Time Tea and Famous also heard the grandmother's story. Old Time Tea turned off the television, Famous opened its eyes, and they both listened with interest.

Zhang Zian saw that the old grandmother's mouth was dry from talking, so he got Wang Qian to pour her a cup of warm water in a disposable paper cup.

After the grandmother expressed her gratitude, she carefully took the paper cup and drank the water, then with the back of her hand, she wiped off the water flowing out from the corner of her mouth before she continued talking.

The white puppy was very pitiful. If it continued to stay in the snow, it was going to freeze to death before midnight.

She had wanted to take it home, but she was also afraid that it was be a dog that someone else had lost. What if the owner was looking for it and was unable to find the dog? How sad would that be?

So, she put down the sack filled with empty bottles, picked the dog up, and cradled it in her arms. She used her body to shield it from the wind as she stood there to wait for its owner to come and find it.

From picking up a full sack of empty bottles early in the morning, she could've gone home early. For the puppy, however, she stood in the same spot for an hour, stomping her feet and moving her body to prevent herself from being frozen.

In order to get past the loneliness, she also hummed her favorite song from the Kun Opera she used to listen to.

Although the road was remote, occasionally, one or two people would still pass by, No one seemed to be looking for anything, however, and all of them just hurried off with their heads down.

Although the grandmother was old, she was not slow, and she was not foolish to the point where she would ask everyone she met if they had lost the dog. Instead, she paid attention and observed their facial expressions and movements. If it was the owner of the lost dog, she would definitely be able to tell.

Being in her arms, the puppy was able to feel a little warmer. It then began to whimper from hunger.

After waiting for an hour, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians passing by. After a long time, there were none.

The old grandmother decided not to wait any longer, since just waiting alone wasn't going to solve anything.

”Little one, you're hungry, right? Why don't you follow grandma back home.”

Because the puppy was very small, she temporarily placed it in her own pocket, carried the sack with the empty bottles again, and slowly walked home with her cane.

After arriving at home, she brewed some milk powder for it, which it happily drank.

After that, she made a small simple nest for it. She placed extra rags in the nest to make it warmer, then let it sleep.

Because she was afraid that the person who lost the dog would be worried, the next morning, she wrote on a piece of paper, braved the cold, and walked to the place where she had picked up the dog the night before. She then stuck the paper on the wall, asking for the dog owner to call her.

However, a few days passed, then a few months passed in the blink of an eye. Several times, the paper strip on the wall was blown away by the wind, and several times, it was removed by the groundskeeping workers. Every time it was removed, she would put it back up, but the dog owner never contacted her.

Zhang Zian knew the reason was because the dog had no owner at all, but she didn't know and had been waiting.

During that period, the puppy grew up slowly day by day, and the relationship between them got better. The puppy always reluctantly watched her leave the house in the morning and then happily welcomed her back at night.

She was also very happy to have found company, but occasionally, she would be troubled. Subconsciously, she felt that the dog wasn't hers and someday, the dog's owner would find it and take it away.
