Zhang Zi stood aside quietly, smiling at the confrontation between father and son. Although Qian Bowen's previous dog was a failure, he still had the opportunity to correct his son's bad habits, and he couldn't be led by his son's nose, and he would meet his requirements when he cried and made trouble.

Raising a dog is like raising a son, and conversely, raising a son is like raising a dog.

This family is not suitable for raising beagles, as netizens said, forcibly raising them can only harm others and themselves.

Of course, even if Xiao Qian really wants to use his own New Year's money to buy a dog, Zhang Zi'an will not sell it to him, because he is still a minor, he is a person with limited capacity, and selling pets is not just a matter of paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, but also needs to sign a pet sale agreement and other formalities, even if a person with limited capacity signs an agreement, it is invalid, Zhang Zian will not do that kind of stupid thing.

The same is true for Xiaoxue, instead of asking for a reward, she often reminds underage viewers who watch the live broadcast not to give her a reward with their parents' money in the live broadcast, Weibo and the official account, which makes the audience have a deeper impression of her.

Xiao Qian Qian has been entangled for a long time, on the balance of his heart, there is a Sitch at one end, and a beagle at the other end, which can bring him more happiness?

Slowly, the scales tipped in Sitch's direction. Obviously, Sitch weighed a little more weight in his heart.

"That'...... That...... Then I'm not going to buy it yet...... Anyway, it's almost the New Year, and I'll come back to buy it when the New Year's money comes down this year! Even if you don't buy it for me, I'll buy it myself!" Xiao Qian said angrily.

"Okay, whatever you want. If you want to come, I'll come with you. Qian Bowen said with a smile.

He saw that the time was almost up, and he had to work the night shift tonight, so he had to eat early at noon, and went to bed quickly after lunch, and now he was going back to buy vegetables and cook, so he said goodbye to Zhang Zi'an, "Manager Zhang, thank you so much today, I just know that there is so much knowledge in raising dogs, and it is also the first time I have met a conscientious shopkeeper like you, and I actually advise customers not to buy pets...... But don't worry, sooner or later, I will have to buy another dog, either when the child grows up a little more, or change to a more worry-free dog, and when I am ready to raise a dog, I will definitely come to you to buy it. ”

Zhang Zi'an was also very distressed, but he felt that if the family bought the beagle, they would either come back in a few days and ask for the dog to be returned, or a new hot spot would appear on Weibo after a while-the unscrupulous shopkeeper was obsessed with selling the dog to customers, resulting in a major operation accident on the assembly line...... Rather than that, it's better not to sell it at all.

"Boy, let's go and go home. Qian Bowen greeted his son.

Xiao Qian Qian reluctantly glanced at the beagle a few more times, depressedly followed his father away, and told Zhang Zi'an before leaving: "Store manager, remember to leave this dog for me, and when I get the New Year's money, I will come and buy it." ”

"I'll talk about it when you get back. Zhang Zi'an said casually.

By the time the noisy father and son had left, the store had finally quieted down a bit.

After talking too much and not making a business, Zhang Zi'an picked up the tea brewed in advance and poured it down, moistened his throat and went to get rid of the anger by the way.

Weiwei felt that this trip to the pet store was not in vain, and she seemed to have learned a lot, although she did not have some regrets about being owned by a group of cats...... She looked around the store, her eyes fell on Suzuhara Mayi, and she felt that something seemed wrong with this Fuso girl, so she quietly poked Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue was interacting with netizens, and after being reminded by Weiwei, she noticed that Suzuhara Mayi next to the display cabinet was secretly crying at the beagle.

"Hello, Miss Suzuhara, are you feeling unwell?" the warm-hearted Xiaoxue walked over decisively and asked her with concern.

"Ah, no, I'm not uncomfortable, it's just...... I remembered some things from the past. Suzuhara Mao hurriedly wiped her tears and forced a smile.

"It's cold, wipe away your tears, or you'll hurt your skin." Xiaoxue intimately handed her a tissue, she thanked her again and again, took the tissue and wiped her tears away.

"That...... Mr. Store, I want to buy this beagle, is it okay?" asked Mao Suzuhara to Zhang Zi'an.

Zhang Zi'an was stunned, and said in his heart that today is Beagle Day or what? Why do they all want to raise Beagles?

"Yes, yes...... But you heard what we said just now, right?The Beagle is very cute, but this kind of dog is not easy to raise, if you want to buy it because it is cute, then I advise you to ......," he said euphemistically.

Mai Suzuhara clarified: "No, it's not like that! I like Snoopy a lot, I like beagles, they are pathetic......"

"Then do you know the characteristics of this dog?" Zhang Zi'an deliberately tested her to see if she really understood beagles.

"I know, Snoopy loves to bark, he likes to play, he loves to be very affectionate, I've been with them for more than two years......" she said, her expression darkening even darker.

Mai Suzuhara was a medical student, and because of his hard work, he got good grades, and was selected by his professor early to work as an assistant in the laboratory, where he first came into contact with beagles. Although nominally an assistant, because she is the youngest, she is basically responsible for chores, and her main task is to take care of the beagles in the laboratory.

There is a one-year-old beagle in the laboratory, which is very similar to the beagle in Zhang Zi'an's store, almost identical. The professors and seniors called it Snoopy, so she called it Snoopy too.

Like Mai Suzuhara, Snoop had just arrived at the lab, and his lively and cheerful personality immediately won her heart.

She was always the first to come to the lab every morning, prepare the lab equipment for the professors and seniors, and then take Snoopy for a run. There are two treadmills in the lab, one for people and the other for dogs, and she runs on the treadmill with Snoopy, and records its breathing, heartbeat, body temperature and other data before and after the run, and occasionally takes a blood test to test the stool and urine...... She naively thought that was all there was to the experiment.

Seeing that she was getting too close to Snoopy, the seniors had vaguely reminded her more than once, suggesting that if she liked dogs, she might as well get a dog of her own, but she didn't think so and continued to play with Snoopy every day.

Suddenly, one day, when she came to the lab in the morning, she couldn't find Snoopy. She was anxious to quickly notify the security staff of the laboratory and help her find it. At that moment, she faintly heard a familiar cry coming from the depths of the lab, very penetrating, it was Snoopy's.

Mai Suzuhara followed the sound and ran over to find Snoopy locked in a sealed lab device. It curled up in its utensils, foaming at the corners of its mouth. Hearing her footsteps, it looked up at her through the clear glass, then staggered over, its nose against the glass and whimpering at her, its eyes full of pain.

What's going on?

She was stunned.

Why is Snoopy here?

The seniors who appeared later regretfully told her that this was the fate of Snoopy, and that the lab-beagle was used for experiments, similar to the guinea pigs.

It was only then that she really got to know the beagle.

Beagles are almost the healthiest of all dogs and have the fewest genetic diseases, while they are of moderate size, docile and easy to control. The most important thing is that the beagle is very affectionate, and no matter if people beat it or torture it with painful experiments, it will not hold grudges, let alone resent humans. Human beings have abused it thousands of times, and it treats human beings like their first love.

In addition, the price of purebred beagles is not expensive, and the genetics are stable, especially suitable for pharmacology, toxicology, circulatory physiology and surgery, etc., which is convenient for different laboratories in different places to compare data with each other. Beagles account for 98% of all laboratory dogs in the world, and thousands of beagles give their lives every year for the advancement of human medicine.

Beagles exchange their lives for longer human lifespans, and if so, it would be fine, although many countries have banned them, but there are also some cosmetics companies and lifestyle companies that secretly use beagles to test for toxicity, which is not what they should suffer.

For a whole day, Mai Suzuhara was in tears, watching Snoopy be injected with a certain dose of poison in the experimental equipment, observing and recording its poisoning reaction, then injecting the antidote, observing and recording the process of its gradual improvement, and finally taking blood, urine tests, and analyzing the residue of toxins in the body every hour, so as to obtain valuable data such as the speed of toxin metabolism...... She couldn't bear to look at it any longer, but the seniors needed her to stay here because her presence would give Snoopy peace of mind and composure.

It's for the advancement of human medicine, it's for saving more lives – she told herself so repeatedly.

Rationally speaking, experimenting with mice is not fundamentally different from experimenting with beagles, but emotionally she just has a hard time accepting it.

When the long experiment was finally over, the seniors, led by the professor, could not wait to devote themselves to the process of analyzing the data, looking forward to the birth and publication of a new high-quality paper, while Snoopy dragged his tired body out of the experimental equipment, still smiling at her, and running to her happily as if nothing had happened. It fell halfway through and struggled to get up, and she could even clearly see the spasms of its leg muscles.

"I'm sorry, Snoopy, I'm sorry!" she held in her arms and apologized over and over again.

Snoopy stuck out her warm tongue and licked the tears from her face. It forgot all its unhappiness and was simply happy to be held in the arms of its owner.

The days are back to the way they were.

She was still the first to come to the lab every morning, feeding Snoopy, running with him, recording her breathing, heartbeat, body temperature and other data truthfully, occasionally taking a blood test, testing her stool and urine, but she was more careful and gentle than before. It's similar to the hierarchical Fuso society, and the same is true in the lab, as the youngest junior, she doesn't know when the next experiment will be, and no one tells her, so she can only seize all the time to make Snoopy more happy.

The second experiment came sooner than expected.

Almost shortly after Snoopy recovered, he was forced to undergo another experiment, this time to test a new drug in development that had a promising market prospect but was still immature and had a strong irritation to the stomach that could cause vomiting.

This time, Snoopy swallowed a certain dose of the pill, and then took a blood and urine test to analyze the changes in the concentration of the pill in the blood and the rate of metabolic excretion.

However, according to the data, the pill is likely to cause vomiting when consumed, and if the pill is spit out, the experiment fails. So, Mai Suzuhara, who has been in charge of chores, also participates in the experiment this time - the professor arranges for her to hold Snoopy in her arms and hold her mouth down to prevent it from spitting out the pills it has just eaten until the pills dissolve in the stomach.

What a cruel task!

When Mai Suzuhara heard the professor's words, she suddenly splashed her head like ice water.

But there was no way, whether she was involved or not, the experiment had to go ahead as usual, the difference was that she held Snoopy's mouth down, or if the other seniors held it down.

So, she decided that she would do it, at least she would be gentle.

She could have pushed this matter to others, such as taking a day off, leaving the laboratory to relax, and coming back when the experiment was over, not only to escape the torment of the soul, but also to appear in front of Snoopy as a savior, gently holding it in her arms and comforting it, making it feel that everyone else is a bad person, and only she is a good person.

But she didn't, she hoped that Snoopy would recognize her true colors, even if it was okay to hate her.

The experiment began.

She did as the professor had instructed her to put the powder in a capsule and mix it with Snoopy's favorite snack for him to eat.

Snoopy ate it happily, not in the slightest doubt about him.

After it was finished, Mai Suzuhara sat down on a chair and patted her thigh.

The sun was shining that day, and the sun made people drowsy.

Snoopy jumped onto her lap and sat comfortably on her stomach in the sun, her mouth open and a yawn, her eyes sleepy.

She gently rubbed its back, silently estimating the speed at which the capsule would melt, and when the time was about right, she pressed its mouth from the top and bottom with both hands.

Thinking she was going to play some new game with herself, Snoopy's eyes widened in excitement and tried to sit up, but she leaned down and clamped its body with her legs to keep it from moving.

"Woo~"

It let out a sudden scream, its body squirmed violently, its throat shrugged, and she could even feel the burning between its stomach and throat.

"Snoopy! Cheer up! Snoopy!

She hugged it tightly and held its mouth to prevent it from spitting out, but she did not dare to look into its eyes, closing her eyes and muttering the same thing over and over again.

Snoopy's rapid breath with the smell of medicine blew on her face, and Snoopy struggled more and more, she never knew that its small body contained so much power, so she had to use all her strength to restrain it.

She didn't dare to slack off, and once she relented and let it go, the experiment failed, meaning that Snoopy would have to go through the same nightmare again.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe a few minutes, maybe an hour, Snoopy's struggle gradually waned, and his breathing stopped being so rapid.

The powder has been completely absorbed by its stomach and intestines, and the vomiting reaction is gone.

She also relaxed her strength, and only then did she realize that she was sweating.

There was a chill on my thighs, and a strange smell rushed to my nose.

She looked down to see that Snoopy was incontinent in her struggle, urinating on her lab coat.

Snoopy looked at her guiltily, as if he had done something wrong.

The seniors encouraged her to go home and rest, and then took Snoopy from her hand and took her for blood and urine tests.

She sat still, her mind blank.

Snoopy didn't appear in front of her again that day.

The next morning, she was the first to arrive at the lab after a night of insomnia, ready to withstand Snoopy's hateful gaze.

Snoopy, who was lying in the nest, screamed excitedly at the sight of her, wagging his tail at her feet to play with her, as if nothing had happened to him every morning.

"Hate me, bite me, Snoopy, I've done such cruel things to you, why don't you hate me, don't bite me!" shouted at Suzuhara Mao, and even if he put his wrist to his mouth, it didn't bite her, but stuck out his tongue to lick her wrist.

Feeling weak, she sat down on the cold floor of the lab in repentance.

Snoopy put his front paws on her lap and writhed in a panic, wondering why she was so sad.

"I'm sorry! Snoopy! I'm sorry!"

Knowing that it would not help, she apologized over and over again.

Snoopy didn't want to hear her apology, and just wanted to start playing with her sooner.

Mai Suzuhara had no intention of going abroad, she was going to go to graduate school at the university, because she had calculated that when she graduated from graduate school, Snoopy would be almost seven years old, and a seven-year-old beagle would be able to retire from the lab - in theory.

However, very few Beagles survive to retirement age in day-to-day experiments, and Snoopy is no exception.

Another experiment.

She was used to Snoopy's recovery from experiments, and in reward for it, she bought his favorite snack the next morning, but when she arrived at the lab, she found that his nest was empty.

Her seniors told her that Snoopy had not survived the experiment, and that his body had been sent to the mountain behind the school for burial, where there was a memorial monument for the animals that died during the experiment.

Suzuhara Mayi forgot what her reaction was at the time, and when she came back to her senses, she was already standing in front of the solemn memorial monument and crying silently, surrounded by green bamboos and green grass.

The work of the laboratory could not be interrupted, and a new beagle was brought in, still called Snoopy.

That's when she realized that there was always a Snoopy in the lab.

Soon, the semester is over, and when the new semester begins, a cute school girl joins the laboratory, and Suzuhara Mayi is promoted to a reliable senior, and the task of doing chores and taking care of Snoopy naturally falls on the school girl.

Mai Suzuhara applied for an exchange student at Marina University, and it took her a semester to adjust her mood.

Before leaving the country, as a reliable senior, she gave advice to her lovely schoolgirl: "If you want to raise a dog, you might as well raise one yourself." ”

The schoolgirl didn't take her words to heart and continued to play happily with Snoopy.

She looked at the school girl with a smile, didn't say anything more, called a taxi and drove to the airport, and boarded a flight to China......

When Mai Suzuhara finished telling her story, there was silence in the pet shop, and only the sobs of Xiaoxue and Vivi could be heard.
