Chapter 650 - Chapter 650 650. Princess Wolf Qing_1

Chapter 650: 650. Princess Wolf Qing_1 Chapter 650: 650. Princess Wolf Qing_1 The Search and Rescue Dog Retirement Base is located in the suburbs of Ning City. Song Tan had been working there for two years, but she had never come to such a remote place.

Even the base itself looked rather crude. As soon as the iron gate outside was pushed open, someone poked their head out:

“You got here quite quickly.”

Clearly, the person in charge had been notified. However, his expression was indifferent, as if he wasn’t very welcoming.

That was normal.

Anyone who had to send away a pet they had been raising would hardly be in a good mood. Moreover, the person had been arrogant, claiming they would take all the injured dogs.

To the keepers here, the adopter either lacked any compassion, adopting a dog with other motives in mind,

Or, they were merely paying lip service to their affection.

Some people talk sweetly when raising small animals, calling them their dearest darlings, but as soon as the animal falls ill, they either abandon them or neglect them…If it were this case, once they take another look at those retired dogs struggling with illness, they might immediately have second thoughts.

The staff member’s thoughts weren’t vocalized, but it appeared that spending every day with dogs, they didn’t think to hide their emotions; it was all written on their faces.

Song Tan truly understood.

She thought to herself: I really should have asked to bring Da Wang and the others. Once brought in, the other party would see their capability.

But the person in charge disagreed in the first place.

To be fair, it’s not that Song Tan’s dogs weren’t good–it was that they were in too good of a state!

Those at the retirement centre were either aging dogs already in decline or injured and sick dogs; anyway, they weren’t a pretty sight.

At such a time, to bring in several dogs of such excellent appearance–the dogs weren’t foolish, the more dignity they had, the more upset they’d feel inside.

Fortunately, although the keeper’s expression wasn’t pleasant, his steps didn’t falter as he led them straight to the area for injured dogs:

“It’s too hot today; a few of them aren’t well, so I didn’t let them outside. This room is connected to the air conditioning in my room, so it’s slightly cooler.”

In such a large retirement center, there were definitely more than the four dogs open for adoption.

But since the others weren’t up for adoption and were still at the base, there must have been other factors to consider.

And what the keeper was showing them were precisely those four dogs listed this time.

The first dog they saw upon opening the door was the wolf-grey “Princess”.

“This is a Kunming dog, with perfectly standard fur, called Princess, and she’s only three years old. You see, what a sleek physique the little miss has! She performed very well during missions. But during a recent search, she encountered a secondary explosion, and lost her eyesight.”

As he spoke, he approached Princess confidently and reached out to gently stroke her. She shifted from lying down to sitting up, enthusiastically licking the handler’s palm.

It was then that the half of her eye oozing with sickening yellow fluid became visible. It wasn’t just her eye; the surrounding fur also looked unhealed, and to be honest, it was quite frightening at first glance.

However, Song Tan’s expression didn’t change one bit.

She even followed suit and stepped forward, extending her hand slowly under the slightly approving gaze of the keeper:

“May I touch her?”

The keeper’s tension eased, and his resistance towards her lessened:

“Yes, Princess is very well-behaved. You can also see if she likes you.”

How could she not like her?

Song Tan reached out her hand:

“Princess.”

She sincerely said, “I want to take you home, would you like that?”

Princess had an extraordinarily gentle gaze, and at this moment, she surprisingly sat up slowly, her eyes intently fixed on Song Tan.

At the same time, her paws moved restlessly.

The handler couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise, then he looked at Song Tan again–

He knew that Princess was hesitant, uneasy.

As for why she was hesitant and uneasy, he knew that too–Princess had been in low spirits since her injury, and now that she could no longer continue working, hearing Song Tan say this suddenly…

She clearly wanted to go! Yet she feared being rejected.

At this moment, the breeder, who had been showing a rejecting demeanor, slowly began to tear up.

He said excitedly, “Princess likes you!”

“I know.” Song Tan stepped forward again and reached out to pat Princess on the head:

“I think she’s great, too. If you agree to the adoption, I can take good care of her.”

The next moment, Princess let out a whimper, then tried to push her head into the palm of her hand, her body nearly pressing into her embrace.

Watching this, the breeder felt both heartache and joy. Then he looked at the equally surprised supervisor beside him and finally stood up: “No wonder you called me like that. It seems that she is really skilled in dog raising.”

At the very least, she had maxed out her affability.

And after Princess, next was a German Shepherd–

“His name is Yingjun, he’s seven and a half years old. His injury is on his leg, his left front knee is worn, and it’s a bit inconvenient for him to move around.”

“The difficulty is that he can’t run strenuously, and even light exercise will be a burden, but he can’t not run, and he needs to take medication regularly…”

The breeder suggested sincerely:

“Actually, my advice is that you shouldn’t adopt so many injured dogs.”

“Taking care of them requires a lot of energy. Even if your family runs a farm and your time is flexible, it’s difficult to give them the time they need.”

“Plus, you haven’t actually taken care of such dogs before. It’s truly exhausting and complicated, really hard to achieve.”

The breeder looked at Princess, who was enthusiastically nuzzling into Song Tan’s embrace:

“However, since Princess likes you so much, if Yingjun also wants to go with you later, we can make an exception and apply for you to adopt both.”

Song Tan: …After coming all this way, how could two be enough? Since I’m here!

She made a distressed face:

“But I really do love dogs, and I really want to take care of them.”

“How about this. Let me meet these injured dogs first. If they all like me, then I will have to trouble you to apply for it.”

“After all, they are all so outstanding; I would feel heartbroken to disappoint any of them.”

How odd this sounded…

This thought flashed through the breeder’s mind.

After thinking it over, he didn’t refuse outright since it was indeed rare to see Princess take such a liking to someone–originally, because of her special circumstances, several familiar comrades had been arranged to interact with her before opening up for adoption.

Unfortunately, she just couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.

Considering this, the breeder merely stepped aside a little:

“Then let’s take a look at Yingjun. His current condition isn’t really suitable for mountain life.”

“No problem.” Song Tan crouched down in front of Yingjun with practiced ease:

“Wow! No wonder you’re named Yingjun! You really are handsome!”

Indeed, if it was just about facial features, he really was more outstanding than Sanbao.

His fur was thick, and his black eyes were bright and expressive. If not for the knee wear and his age, he would have been quite exceptional.

Song Tan stroked Yingjun’s head, and seeing the dog enjoy her touch and hum, trying to nuzzle into her embrace like Princess, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud:

“Yingjun, you’re a boy, right? I brought our Sanbao today, she’s a very pretty girl, and she hasn’t been in a relationship yet!”

“I wonder if Sanbao will like you if you come home with me…”
