Chapter 494 The Howling Wolf (2/2)

Luo Qun thought about it for a while. ”But that's God's job, right?”

Li Du said, ”It's fine—maybe God and Buddha have business dealings with each other? They will protect you together.”

Luo Qun shrugged and wore the bracelet on her wrist with a smile. ”What's that in your arms? Looks like a cradle.”

Li Di said, ”No, it's a puppy's bed.”

After he put it down, Ah Ow yawned and opened her bleary eyes before using her little pink tongue to lick her mouth. Then she slowly crawled out from the bed.

Luo Qun glanced at it then glanced at the bracelet on her wrist. ”I know why you're giving me the bracelet,” she sneered. ”Keeping another pet?”

Li Du said, ”How can you gauge another's sincerity with such a mean measure!? I'm not keeping Ah Ow here. I will bring her to the cabin where she will be the watchdog!”

Luo Qun blinked, and then smiled. ”Oh right, sorry, ha. I've been a cop for too long and have the habit of suspecting people of this and that.”

Ah Ow rested her head on the side of her bed and then looked at Luo Qun with her bright, clear eyes. Luo Qun said, ”This little thing is quite cute anyways.”

She didn't know why Ah Ow was looking at her that way—if she did, she wouldn't have been happy about it.

After staring at Luo Qun for a while, Ah Ow finally realized that this was not Mommy Sophie, and started to panic!

She glanced around at her surroundings, and then realized this was not the familiar environment of Sophie's house. She howled, ”Ow! Ow!”

Li Du hurriedly said, ”Stop howling. Ah Ow, be quiet.”

Ah Ow continued to cry—how could she be quiet? ”Owoo! Owoo!”

Luo Qun said in surprise, ”This is a dog? Are you sure? Why do I think it's more like a wolf pup?”

Ah Ow didn't care what they were saying about her. She stood up and used her front paw to claw at the side of the bed. Her body was bent and her neck was straight, as she raised her head to howl, ”Owoo! Owoo!”

Li Du also believed this was a wolf pup; a puppy did not usually behave this way. But he wasn't willing to admit this. ”This is a Czech Wolfdog. You know it? The pups of Czech Wolfdogs are like this.”

Luo Qun shook her head, ”No, this is definitely not a Czech Wolfdog. I may not know about other dogs, but I'm very familiar with Czech Wolfdogs. We use Czech Wolfdogs at the police station, and their young do not behave this way.”

Li Du's heart sank. ”You're sure about this?”

Luo Qun ran to the study. Li Du wasn't sure what she was doing, but he picked up Ah Ow to comfort her.

Soon, Luo Qun returned with a photograph, ”See, this was a photograph of Toby when it was young. Look at it, it's not the same as a wolf.”

Li Du looked at the photograph; it showed a greyish white pup, which looked almost the same age as Ah Ow.

The pup's bone structure had become more refined, and her ears were longer. Her face was also longer while her eyes and forehead had softer lines.

Luo Qun looked Ah Ow closely. ”This is a North American gray wolf. This is definitely the pup of a North American gray wolf!”

Li Du said calmly, ”You know this too? You really know a lot.”

”Of course I know. There are Mexican wolves in Arizona, you know? Each time the wolves appear, we form groups to drive them away. We've had many encounters.”

Mexican wolves were a type of gray wolf, and were considered predators higher up on the food chain. They usually moved in packs and could be found in mountainous areas of southwest America and northwest of Mexico.

In the family of gray wolves, their build was considered small, but they moved fast and were resilient, intelligent and crafty—opponents many hunters did not wish to face.

”Mexican wolves have a narrow chest, but strong backs and legs. They are very agile. Look at this little thing. Although it is not yet fully grown, it already looks like this.”

Hearing Luo Qun's words, Li Du observed Ah Ow's bodily features closely, and she indeed resembled the description.
