Chapter 4: Don't Be Sad 2
When Bai Xiaocong, A Baibai and I rescued the dying stray dog and brought it back to my Duoduo Pet Clinic, its breathing was already very weak.
This is a very beautiful big dog. Although its fur has turned black and tangled due to long-term wandering, and there are various bloody wounds on its body, you can still tell from its appearance that it was once a very beautiful dog.
I tried to use the ability bestowed by the God of Pets to communicate with it, but it always half-closed its eyes and remained silent, just like the silence it had when it was bullied by that group of kids before, without even a cry of resistance or a groan.
We put it on the operating table in the emergency room. It lay there on its side. The surgical light shone on its body. Its eyes were slightly narrowed, its limbs were slightly stiff, and its mouth was slightly open.
Dad and Mom have arrived. Bai Xiaocong, A Baibai and I stood aside and watched Dad and Mom rescue it.
"Let's go out first, we can't help much here!" Abaibai stuck out his tongue, his originally white fur was already stained with dirt and blood.
The one who suffered the most was Bai Xiaocong, because he was the one holding the dog, so at this time his body was covered with mud and the dog's blood. His originally fair face was now covered with sweat, mud and blood.
"Hey, Bai Xiaocong, let's go out first. Well, you're a little dirty, I'll take you to clean it up." I said to Bai Xiaocong.
"Okay, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Bai Xiaocong said.
"Yes, let's go get some fast food and I'll bring some for Mom and Dad." I said to Bai Xiaocong.
"Take me with you, take me with you, I want to eat a beef burger!" Abaibai followed us, twisting his little butt, his little black eyes sparkling.
"Abaibai, dogs can't eat food that is too salty, and pets are not allowed in fast food restaurants. You wait in the clinic , I will bring you food!" I picked up Abaibai and said to it.
"I know Xiaoduo treats me the best, I will wait for you obediently!" A Baibai said with his tongue sticking out.
Hey, Abaibai has become much more obedient. Could it be that the stray dogs really stimulated it too much?
"I'm such a sensible dog, I will definitely not delay your date!" A Baibai added very "sensibly".
What? A date!
Bai Xiaocong and I looked at A Baibai at the same time, and then looked at each other at the same time.
How annoying! My heart is beating faster again!
"Ahem, I'm too dirty. If it takes too long to clean up, why not order takeout so that everyone has time to clean up. I'll go to the bathroom first and help Baibai clean up!" Bai Xiaocong said, grabbing Baibai and rushing to the bathroom at the end of the clinic...
I watched his back as he walked away, and all I heard was Abaibai's screams!
But I don't sympathize with Abaibai at all. It's his fault for being so gossipy!
Two hours later, Bai Xiaocong, A Baibai and I had lunch, and the emergency surgery was over.
Dad took off the mask on his mouth, and Mom followed behind him. The expressions on both of their faces were very unnatural.
"Mom and Dad, could it be that the stray dog has already... has already..."
I dare not think about it anymore, could it really not make it through... already...
"No, but it will be soon. The dog is very strong and was very well behaved when we were treating its wounds. It doesn't seem like a wary stray dog at all." Mom sighed.
I didn't expect that my mother, who is always capable, could be so emotional at times.
"What do you mean by soon?" I felt sad listening to my mother's words. I didn't want to accept this. Dogs are man's best friends, but now man's best friend is suffering like this!
"Let me tell you." Dad took off his mask completely, then sat on the chair outside the operating room, took a long, deep breath, and then continued.
"Although it has been rescued, we checked it after the rescue and found that it is an old dog. It has been wandering outside for too long. The long-term lack of food has caused it to be malnourished. Judging from the breed, it is a German Shepherd. There is a name tag on its neck, which shows that it originally had an owner. I think it must have been abandoned by its owner because it was old! By the way, Xiaoduo, the classmate who sent the dog here with you is..."
Dad looked at Bai Xiaocong after he finished speaking. I suddenly remembered that Bai Xiaocong had deliberately dressed up when he came to my clinic before, and this was the first time he appeared in front of them as a deep otaku boy .
"Dad, this is my good friend, Bai Xiaocong, and A Baibai is his dog. He's been busy lately, so I help take care of A Baibai. He came to see A Baibai today, and then he saw this injured stray dog, so he asked me for the address of the clinic, and then we came to the clinic..."
I reordered the order in which things happened and then talked to my dad about it.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt, I am Bai Xiaocong, Xiaoduo's friend." Bai Xiaocong said politely.
"It's my boyfriend, it's my boyfriend!" A Baibai shouted at the side. I hurriedly pinched A Baibai's mouth, then looked at Bai Xiaocong with some uneasiness. However, Bai Xiaocong smiled at her parents as if she didn't hear anything.
Wuuuu - luckily mom and dad didn’t know what they were saying to Abaibai, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!
"Very good, it's a good kid. Go to the pet ward and check on it later. After all, you saved it. Maybe you can help it find its owner."
After saying that, Dad went to rest with Mom, and the three of us went to the pet ward where the stray dog was.
The pet wards at Duoduo Pet Clinic are all facing south. The wallpaper in the wards is all in the pattern of blue sky and white clouds. The floor is green. The sunlight outside the window shines on the pet-specific beds, which is warm. The window is opened a crack, and the light yellow curtains with dog paw prints are slightly blown up.
There was a white mat on the pet bed, on which lay a yellow and black dog. The originally dirty stray dog had returned to its original appearance after being treated and cleaned.
Just like my father said, this is a German Shepherd, and the most beautiful black back among the German Shepherd breeds.
Its head is not big, its fur is yellow and black, its ears stand straight up, and its eyes are closed. Although it has been cleaned, there is still a lot of secretions in the corners of its eyes.
This is an old dog, or to be exact, a very old dog. I stood beside it and could hear it panting. The malnutrition caused by wandering had made its body, which should have looked strong, become skinny.
There were bandages on its head, face, chest and ribs, and blood was seeping out due to its rapid breathing.
"How pitiful! Who is so cruel to abandon it!" I felt very sad as I looked at the weak and old German Shepherd in front of me.
Dogs are the best animal companions for humans, and German Shepherds are especially so. They look a bit like wolves, combining the toughness of wolves with the gentleness of dogs. German Shepherds are usually used for guarding homes. Why did this loyal and protective companion end up like this?
Bai Xiaocong reached out and took out a name tag from its neck. There was no contact information on it, only a small English word - "Hero".
This stray German Shepherd’s name is Hero?
"This should be its name." Bai Xiaocong said, looking at the name tag.
Hero on the hospital bed seemed to feel someone beside him. He opened his eyes slightly and his muscles began to tense.
"Hero, don't move, or you'll get hurt!" I picked up Abaibai and put him on an empty spot on the bed.
"Abaibai, you are the messenger of the God of Pets. Ask it where it came from and whether it is lost. We can help it find its owner!" I said to Abaibai.
"It shouldn't be lost, it should be abandoned. If it was lost, someone would post a missing dog notice, someone would send out a message, but I have no impression of it." Bai Xiaocong said in a deep voice.
When Bai Xiaocong said the word "abandoned", I suddenly saw the very weak German Shepherd and tears slowly welled up in my eyes.
"Hey, Hero, why are you crying? What happened? Tell me, Lord Abaibai. Let me tell you, I have super powers. If you have been wronged, tell me and I will help you get revenge! Hey, Hero, say something!" Abaibai was jumping on one end of the hospital bed, but Hero ignored him.
Wrapped in bandages and extremely weak, it just lay there dying, emitting an aura of weakness, sadness and despair, while crystal tears kept flowing from its half-closed eyes.
My heart was in my throat.
It must have been hurt a lot, so when it met a human like its master, it was silent and full of despair...
"Abaibai, let's go out and let Hero have a good rest." Bai Xiaocong said, and touched Hero's head again.
Hero seemed to feel the kindness from Bai Xiaocong, and opened his half-closed eyes for a moment, but then slowly closed them again.
It didn't speak until we left the room...
After the two of us and Abaibai came out of Hero's ward, we didn't walk far, but just sat in the corridor.
I felt very uncomfortable, as if my heart was blocked by a huge rock.
"In fact, a smart German Shepherd like Hero will never get lost. Even if it gets lost, there will be kind people who can help it find its home with the name tag on its neck. This situation shows that Hero was actually abandoned by his owner from a distance!" Bai Xiaocong said in a deep voice. From his voice, he was not in a good mood either.
"Why would there be such a cruel owner in this world? Just because Hero is old, would he abandon it casually?" I choked and said. Really, how could there be such a cruel owner! Whether it is a pet or a person, there will always be a time when they grow old. Should they be abandoned when they are old and useless?
"That's right, Hero doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Let's find out who its owner is! I have the information on its name tag. Give me two days, and I will definitely find its owner!"
I looked at Bai Xiaocong. His eyes were very determined, and I felt at ease because of his determination.
Bai Xiaocong will definitely be able to do it, because he is so smart and can create such a great software to rescue small animals. And with Abaibai, the messenger of the God of Pets, we will definitely be able to get justice for the abandoned and injured Hero!
