Chapter 491 Pension Issues

"Femas! Wake up!"

Femas yawned, shook his head and stood up.

The dream is still clearly imprinted in his mind, but it has gradually become accustomed to this bizarre switching method.

It is very troublesome to tell Lao Cha how to make a movie. The director, producer, cameraman and other positions have to spend a lot of time to make him understand what it means. In the world of mental imagery, he talked from evening to sleep. "Dogs of War" The filming process of the film has just started, and after the story about the bento brother bringing a lunch box of dog feces to the production director, Femas fell asleep unknowingly, and went back to the pet shop when he woke up.

Zhang Zian remembered that when Femas first came to bed, he woke up with him, but now he got up later and later, and slept more and more deeply. He also wanted it to sleep for a while, after all, the filming work was too tiring, but today I will go to the Veteran Police Dog Nursing Home with Lao Yang for inspection. Get some extra sleep, then wake it up before heading out.

Today's filming in the film crew does not require police dogs to appear on stage. It mainly shows the hardships and mutual support of the border guards when they are trapped in the snow field after the police dog team goes to ask for help. Therefore, Zhang Zian and Fei Masi do not need to go to the film crew to report.

After breakfast, Lu Yiyun came to work in the store on time. Zhang Zian confessed a few words, and then heard a car horn sounding in the store.

It was Lao Yang who came to pick Zhang Zian up. He drove a car provided by the film crew. He got out of the car and smoked while leaning against the car while squinting his eyes to look at the exterior of the pet shop.

Zhang Zian was already ready and led Fei Masi out.

"The shop is nice, the decoration is beautiful, how is the business?" Lao Yang hadn't finished his cigarette yet, so he didn't intend to drive for the time being.

"It's okay, it's nothing more than a meal, mainly because it's more free than going to work." Zhang Zian laughed.

"It's good to be able to make a living, why not do it? Do you want to come to work with you when I retire?" Lao Yang half-jokingly said.

Zhang Zian also half-jokingly said: "Yes, of course! But Master Yang, why don't you hurry up and enjoy your life after retirement?"

Lao Yang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, "I can't be idle, and I don't really want to get along with people. Isn't there a saying-'I see more people, the more I like dogs'. After retirement, I can find A dog-related job is the best. It doesn’t matter how much money you earn. The main reason is that you may be inseparable from dogs in this life. If you can’t find it, I’ve also considered opening a retirement home for retired police dogs... Get in the car, outside cold enough."

Zhang Zian let Fei Masi into the back seat,

Sitting in the passenger seat.

Lao Yang started the car and drove out of the city.

"Master Yang, do you mean that the nursing homes for police dogs are all run privately?" Zhang Zian asked.

Lao Yang stared at the road ahead, and replied slowly: "As far as I know, they are all run privately. Maybe the situation in other places is different, but at least I haven't heard of a police dog nursing home run by the public in Binhai City."

Lao Yang further explained: "Military dogs are different from police dogs. After military dogs are discharged, there are only two directions. One is to stay in a special military dog ​​sanatorium, and the other is to be conditionally adopted, because military dogs only serve the army. Police dogs It is more complicated, and is often recruited by departments other than the security system. In theory, whichever department they serve in should be responsible for their pensions, but it is difficult to operate in practice. Some departments do not have the ability and willingness to provide them with pensions. That's when privately run nursing homes for police dogs come in handy."

"So anyone can open a police dog nursing home?" Zhang Zian asked, and Femas was also listening carefully in the back seat.

"That's not true. It's usually driven by former dog policemen or trainers like me. They have feelings for dogs and can't live without them for the rest of their lives. It's hard for people in society to drive, even harder than adopting police dogs. , and it’s a job that doesn’t make money, so you might even have to pay for it.”

The police dog nursing home they were going to was located in the country, a long way away.

Lao Yang said tactfully: "Actually, Xiao Zhang, you said that Western filmmakers have humane care for animals. This may be true, but let me tell you, Westerners don't treat their military and police dogs very well."

"Oh? Master Yang, tell me in detail, I really don't know these things." Zhang Zian asked.

Anyway, the road was boring, so Lao Yang said: "Our police dog base has an internal publication, which talks about the training methods of western police dogs and military dogs. I can't tell you about this, but it also mentioned some western police dog troops. I can talk about dog care issues. I remember that from 2013 to 2016, the British Ministry of Defense euthanized 231 military dogs, some of which were less than 8 years old. Of course, most of them The dogs were injured and sick and were too old to continue their duties, but there were 45 healthy dogs in their prime who were euthanized on the grounds that they were 'incapable of performing their duties to the necessary level' — — It’s a mouthful, but I still remember it clearly.”

Zhang Zian was silent.

It is a pity that the German shepherd who was eliminated from the police dog base in Binhai City will be executed. He did not expect that a mountain is higher than a mountain. He thought that the British who were outraged by eating dog meat should love dogs very much, but they even abandoned real military dogs. It's like shoe shoes.

"Do you think only the British do this? In fact, in the past, American military dogs had to be euthanized as soon as they turned 10 years old. It was not until 2000 that the US Congress saw that the retired police dogs lived well with ordinary people, so they signed the bill with conditions. Military dogs are allowed to be adopted by ordinary people." Lao Yang smacked his lips and said, "Of course, there are not only negative examples in foreign countries, but also positive examples, such as Israel, which implements a one-soldier-one-dog system. When a person is discharged from the army, the dog is also discharged. "

Zhang Zian roughly understands that veteran dogs and police dogs are a big problem all over the world. These dogs have been trained too fiercely, and there are hidden dangers if they are allowed to flow into the civilian population. However, the country has limited funds and cannot afford it, so it has to To facilitate euthanasia, China is not the best in this regard, but at least it is not the bottom of the list.

The scenery outside the car window has changed from row upon row of high-rise buildings to a unified two-story Dabieye. The most important thing is that all the seductive urban beauties have disappeared, which proves that they have come to the countryside of Binhai City.

"This is Changle Village. I have to ask others how to get there. The place is too far away, and there are no landmarks on the navigation." Lao Yang said, rolled down the window, and looked at an old farmer who passed by. The man asked: "My fellow, in which direction is the nursing home?"

The man may be a little deaf, he asked twice before pointing in one direction and saying, "Go to the end over there."

Lao Yang thanked him, drove in the direction the man pointed, and finally came to a... Nursing home, a nursing home for the elderly, not a police dog nursing home, a group of gray-haired old men and old ladies lined up in a row. Sitting in rows on small benches, flirting in the sun.

After being forced into a mouthful of dog food, they made a trip in vain, and asked a few more people, this time repeatedly emphasizing that it was the police dog nursing home, until the last young man pointed out the right direction.

After several twists and turns, they came to the foot of a very remote low mountain.

A large rusty iron gate was closed tightly, and above the iron gate hung a few big square characters—Nursing Home, and a cartoon image of a German Shepherd was drawn in front of the three characters, indicating that it was for dogs. Living in a nursing home.

The low courtyard wall of hard plastic boards encloses a large area. This courtyard wall is really too short, about the height of an adult man. It can't prevent thieves, but it can also prevent bear children, but I don't think any thief is full. If you are so strong, you will come to the police dog nursing home to steal things...

Since there was no appointment in advance, Zhang Zian looked at the closed door and asked worriedly, "Will there be no one?"

Lao Yang also had no idea, "Get out of the car and have a look."
