Chapter 492 Dignity

Zhang Zian got out of the car with Fei Max, Lao Yang turned off the car, and the two looked around.

This place is too remote, there is not even a passer-by NPC, and there is nowhere to inquire about it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go back home and come back another day, Fei Masi was the first to hear some voices, and called twice in the direction of the short mountain, telling Zhang Zian that someone was coming from there.

Zhang Zian set up an awning to look over, and a chunky figure appeared among the mottled forest shadows, holding a German shepherd, as if he had just returned from a dog walk.

When the figure approached, it was a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties or sixties. He had short hair, most of which were white, but he looked in good spirits, with a flushed face.

The German shepherd he was leading was at least twelve years old by visual inspection, his teeth were badly worn out, and he had some difficulty walking. He only looked at Femas with desperation, and he didn't have the intention of being competitive.

Lao Yang winked at Zhang Zian, implying that he was probably the one.

Zhang Zian also guessed about the same.

Lao Yang was wearing a police uniform, and his age was close, so he was easy to talk to, so he went up and asked, "Excuse me, brother, are you the owner of this police dog nursing home?"

The man glanced at Femas, shook his head and said, "This dog is still young, it's too early to be sent here."

Having said that, he did not deny that he is the owner of a police dog nursing home.

Lao Yang chuckled and said, "We are not here to send this dog, but to take a look first. There are a group of dogs that want to send here. Here, here is my ID."

He handed over the work permit of the police dog base to the other party in a serious manner.

Zhang Zian was a little embarrassed. He knew that Lao Yang was only in the cooking class in the police dog base, and he was neither a trainer nor a dog policeman. He probably didn't have enough persuasion.

Sure enough, the man looked at his work card and became even more skeptical. He handed the work card back to Lao Yang and asked, "Is it a police dog? If it is a police dog, why don't you go through regular channels? I only provide pensions for police dogs, and I don't accept people from the society. dog."

"This...because...that..." Lao Yang was at a loss for words, "It is a dog that was eliminated in training, not a police dog..."

The man frowned and didn't speak.

Zhang Zian took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is a letter of introduction from Binhai Criminal Police Brigade.

"

The man was a little surprised, took another look at Zhang Zian, took the letter and unfolded it.

The letter was written by Zhang Zian at the request of Sheng Ke, with the official seal affixed, no one would be too busy to forge this.

When this person was reading the letter, Lao Yang winked at Zhang Zian, meaning that you have a letter of introduction, why didn't you show it earlier? Shame on me!

Zhang Zian dealt with it calmly, how could I pretend to be coercive if I brought it out earlier?

After reading the letter, the man returned the letter to Zhang Zian and only said, "Come in."

He unlocked the door and left the door wide open.

It's too remote here, Lao Yang was afraid that the car he borrowed from the film crew would be lost, so he drove the car into the yard. Fortunately, the yard is very big, and it's no problem to park more than a dozen more cars.

This yard is simply a miniature police dog training base, with training props such as stomping platforms, trenches, jumping holes, climbing holes, herringbone boards, barrier walls, balance bridges, creepers, high jumps, fire rings, and cable bridges Everything is available. It's just that after Zhang Zian looked carefully, he felt that these props were generally a bit smaller than the corresponding props in the police dog training base. Lao Yang also discovered this point.

Zhang Zian didn't understand, why did the retired dogs still need to be trained? Wouldn't it be nice to go out for a walk once in a while and enjoy your old age in peace?

There are two rows of gray and white bungalows in the yard, and an electric tricycle is parked at the door, and there are some fresh vegetables, potatoes and carrots in the cart.

It may be that they heard the sound of the door opening, and the barking of dogs came one after another in the bungalow.

There are two rows of bungalows, one for kennels and the other for people.

The man locked the door again, led the leading De Shepherd into the kennel, and then greeted Zhang Zian and the others: "Come in and talk."

Zhang Zian and Lao Yang followed him into the house, but when they turned around, they found that Femas hadn't followed.

Femas stayed outside, staring thoughtfully in the direction of the kennel.

"Let it play outside by itself, the gate is closed, it can't be lost," said the man.

Zhang Zian nodded, he was not afraid that Feimasi would be lost.

There is a wall-mounted heater installed on the wall inside the room. It may be burning natural gas. It is quite warm. The indoor temperature is about 18 degrees. Zhang Zian and Lao Yang took off their coats and hung them on the coat rack.

"Sit whatever you want." The man gestured, and went to boil water to make tea for the guests.

The interior furnishings are very simple, and they all look like old tables, chairs and benches. The only entertainment facility is a 32-inch TV.

After a while, the man came out of the kitchen carrying a large iron teapot and three teacups.

"There is nothing to entertain, let's have a cup of tea to warm up." He poured tea for Zhang Zian and Lao Yang, and introduced himself: "My surname is Fu, Fu Tao, and I am the one who runs this nursing home."

Zhang Zian and Lao Yang made self-introductions respectively, and explained the purpose of their visit - a group of German shepherds during the filming of the film crew wanted to find a place to settle down, and wanted to see if it could be accepted here. Although these German shepherds are not official police dogs, they have also been trained as police dogs. They have nowhere to go. They can neither return to the police dog base nor be adopted by ordinary people.

This is not the only police dog nursing home around Binhai City. Zhang Zian and Lao Yang planned to start with this one, check it out, and find another one if they think it's not good enough.

Before coming here, Feng Xuan had already made a promise that part of the crew's funds would be dedicated to housing these German shepherds, and they would be paid for their living expenses on a yearly basis until they died normally, without adding too much extra burden to the police dog nursing home.

Reasonably speaking, Feng Xuan's offer was very generous, but after discussing with Lao Yang, Zhang Zian deliberately quoted a price to Fu Tao at a price that was not lucrative. If he could accept the price, Let's talk about other things.

Fu Tao pondered for a moment, then took a long breath in embarrassment, "I probably know the situation... I don't know this Shengke, but before I retired, I was also a policeman with dogs in the Binhai City Police Department. I have a lot of affection for police dogs, and I opened this nursing home Originally, I only wanted to raise the German Shepherd I had been carrying, but some police colleagues also sent their dogs to me one after another, saying that I would keep them, and they were more at ease... It’s not that they don’t want to raise them, but some objective Due to the constraints of the conditions, they can't raise it, so I will take care of it, and they will come to visit their old comrades during holidays, and help me by the way."

Zhang Zian and Lao Yang nodded, waiting for him to continue. The situation Fu Tao said is very common. The dog policemen themselves want to keep these retired police dogs, but their family members do not agree, or the urban area where they live does not allow them. It is useless.

Fu Tao raised his hand to signal the surroundings, "You have also seen that I am alone here. I want to raise your German shepherds, but I am afraid that I can't keep them. I already have a dozen retired dogs here, and I will bring another ten. I am afraid……"

He didn't go on, but the meaning was obvious.

Zhang Zian put this matter aside for now. He had been thinking about a question just now, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you go for a walk with the dog just now? Why didn't you walk a few more at a time? Could it be one dog at a time?" walking?"

Usually, Wang Gan and Li Kun are in charge of walking the puppies in the shop. They don't walk them one by one, they are all led together to walk in the green space behind the pet shop. How troublesome is it to walk one by one?

Fu Tao said with certainty: "It's just walking one by one."

"Is it because they are afraid that they will fight?" Zhang Zian remembered what Xiao Liu said, saying that these police dogs are competitive, and they cannot go on missions together if they are not relatives and friends.

"That's not true, they are too old to fight now." Fu Tao smiled casually, "How should I put it... These police dogs are used to living and training one-on-one with their owners, so they are different from pet dogs Yes, so even if they are old, they still have dignity, and I want to preserve their last dignity."

A few simple words moved Zhang Zian's heart. He and Lao Yang looked at each other silently, thinking that they might have found the person they were looking for.
