Chapter 493: Praise for Life
Two rows of bungalows, Zhang Zi'an and Lao Yang followed Fu Tao into one of the rows of living rooms, and Feimas walked alone to the other row of kennels. It's also not clear why it's doing it, it's just ...... A feeling.
Fu Tao didn't lock the door after bringing the old and frail German Shepherd into the kennel just now, but just covered it up, probably thinking that the gate of the yard was locked, anyway, no one came to steal things, just to prevent the bear children in the countryside.
Pemmas raised his paw to push open the door of the kennel, and a wave of spring came to his face. The temperature inside is very pleasant, and there is a wall-mounted electric heater hanging on the wall, which is neither hot nor cold for the dogs.
It can be seen that the kennel was designed to be a heart, it was originally intended to serve as a kennel, not later remodeled, and the interior was divided into many compartments, each of which contained a dog, most of which were German herders.
The level of hygiene is relatively average, and it is definitely incomparable with the pet store, but Feimas can also understand that it only smells the smell of Fu Tao from this courtyard, and it is very difficult for a person to manage these dozen or so elderly moral pastors, and it is normal to be too busy. Fu Tao himself is also a middle-aged or sixty-year-old man, and in a few years, even he may need to be taken care of by others.
"Woo~"
In cage No. 1 lay the same German pastor just now, it had just walked around the mountain, tired on its side on the blanket, only briefly raised its eyes to look at Feimas, as if envying its youth and robustness.
The surrounding scenery fluctuated briefly.
Pemmas is familiar with this feeling.
Xinghai and Lao Cha were able to forcibly pull it into their mental image world, because they were strong enough, and their mental image world was strong enough, but these ordinary cats and dogs couldn't do it, their minds were not opened, their memories themselves were incomplete, and Pemmas was just a non-existent bystander in their mental image world.
The owner of this German pastor is Fu Tao, the current owner is him, and the original owner is also him. It was for this retirement home that was built.
It is very happy to be able to be by the side of its owner for a long time, and it has nothing else to ask for.
Pemmas walked around cage 1 and came to cage 2.
In cage No. 2 is another very beautiful Demu, about 9 years old, standing in the cage looks quite energetic, slightly smaller than Pegas, because it is a female. It glanced curiously at Pemmas, quickly lost interest, and turned its head to look out the window as if waiting for something.
9 years old is not too old among police dogs, just past the prime of life, and some 10-year-old and 11-year-old police dogs are still in service.
This German shepherd is very ordinary and typical as a police dog.
It has a litter of four siblings, it is not the strongest, not the weakest, it has a happy and carefree childhood, and it thrives healthily. When it grew up a little, it and its siblings were taken away by different people, and it was a little sad when it was separated, but more of an anticipation, because it was fed up with competing with its siblings for the love of its mother, and it only hoped to meet someone, someone who only loved itself.
Its owner is a relatively rare female handler in the police dog base, and named it Luoluo, probably hoping that it will grow into a down-and-out lady.
After that, Luoluo ate with her, trained together, and played together, almost inseparable, and it was the happiest day of its life. The training is very tiring, but after completing the training, she can get her praise, and if the results are excellent, you can eat the luncheon meat and chicken legs that she secretly bought for it, so Luo Luo became more and more diligent in training, hoping to get more love from her.
However, the reality is not as good as it should be, although Luoluo has passed the training and successfully become a formal police dog, but the results are not top-notch in all aspects. This is also normal, after all, it is very rare to have a police dog like Chilong and the prince who are top-notch in a variety of subjects, which is equivalent to a human academic bully, in fact, most of them are ordinary people with average grades, graduated from ordinary colleges and universities, and do ordinary jobs, just like Luoluo is an ordinary police dog.
The falling trainer is also an ordinary person, with the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, and will hold it tightly in his arms when he is happy, and scold it harshly when he is angry. She also has a little secret, that is, she has a boyfriend in her hometown, which is a little secret that only Luoluo knows, because when she is alone with it, she will take out a photo of her boyfriend for it to see, and whisper to it about what a wonderful person he is, and occasionally call others behind her back, and say that she will introduce him to him in the future.
Feimas thought of Wu Ning in the world of mental images, she was somewhat similar to the Luoluo trainer, and would also whisper to Feimas and Lao Cha about how handsome the handsome boy she met on the street, or wantonly imagined the voices and smiles of the authors of the articles in "Declaration" and "New Youth", guessing whether they were men or women, and guessing what kind of life they lived.
Luoluo thought that such days would go on forever, but one day, she suddenly bought a lot of delicious food and happily told it that her boyfriend had proposed to her, so she was leaving the base and returning to her hometown. Her smile was contagious, and it was genuinely happy for her, though it didn't understand why it was happy.
It wasn't too painful when they were separated, because she repeatedly promised that when it was discharged from the army, she would take it home and play with her boyfriend.
Luoluo watched her leave with anticipation.
However, both it and she ignored a problem, that is, Luoluo is still young, and it is still very early to be discharged from the army.
Luoluo was sent to the police force and handed over to a police officer with a dog, and although the new owner was also very kind to him, he never forgot her.
She had visited it a few times, and her status had changed from trainer to unmarried to newlywed, and she was happy every time she reunited, full of anticipation for every parting, and she repeatedly promised that she would come to pick it up when she was discharged from the army.
The last time she was seen, she had a big belly and had difficulty even bending over, holding its head and putting its ears against her belly to make it listen to the baby's heartbeat.
That's the sound of life.
After hearing this, Luoluo looked at her stomach in awe, as if it was a holy thing.
Later, Luoluo's second owner was transferred from the police force, and it ushered in a third owner, and it slowly aged from a young police dog to a senior of other police dogs in the police force.
She never came again.
When he went on a mission, Luoluo knew that he should concentrate, but his eyes always fell on the young woman holding the child, trying to find her from the vast sea of people.
Luoluo's various subjects are not particularly outstanding, and when he gets older, he is in an embarrassing position at the end of the crane in training.
The third owner of Luoluo didn't know what it was thinking, and given its age, it lightened its training intensity and reduced the number of missions it took - it was for its sake, but it regretted that it had lost the opportunity to look for her on the street.
Later, the city where Luoluo was located held the National Games, and in order to strengthen safety and security, nearly half of the police dogs in the police force were eliminated and let them retire early.
The eliminated ones are not adopted, because the international metropolis where it is located does not allow private pastoral care. Its third owner happened to know Fu Tao, so he sent it here.
Pemmas knew from its eyes that it had not given up, staring outside, standing up whenever an unfamiliar footstep passed by the courtyard gate, waiting for her to appear in front of it again to pick him up.
Nearly a year has passed in a flash, and I am getting old day by day in waiting.
Maybe her husband doesn't like dogs, maybe there is a change in her work and family, maybe she is busy taking care of the children, maybe she is delayed by some other trivial matters...... There are too many possibilities, and of course it could be that she forgot about it.
Feimas remembered Cui Yi and Storm at the gate of the base, in a few years, will Cui Yi fulfill his promise to take Storm away?
The world is impermanent, many things are not determined by people's subjective will, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Pemmas is back in front of cage 3.
The Demu in cage 3 is already very old, at least 14 years old, his teeth are almost completely worn out, and his life is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.
Half of the food left in the bowl in front of it was unfinished, and loss of appetite was a bad sign.
Pemmas tentatively approached, looked through the cage, and it was lying on the ground moving its nose, not opening its eyes, and even losing its instinct to protect food.
The bowl is dominated by commercially available dog food, soaked in water to soften, and some extra vegetables and minced meat fillings are added to make stewed meatballs - which is softer and more glutinous and suitable for its teeth.
The Demu in cage No. 4 is the youngest, about 8 years old.
At first glance, Pemmas was shocked to learn that it had half of its right hind leg missing, and instead of a hairy calf below the knee, it was fitted with a curved, knife-edge prosthesis like those disabled athletes on TV.
The prosthetic limb is crudely made, apparently a knock-off, probably handmade with some tools, fixed to the knee joint by nylon velcro and a base bracket, with curved stainless steel plates as supports.
"Wow!" it shouted as it watched Flying Mars warily.
When they looked at each other, Pemmas saw its past.
Its owner gave it a foreign name, called X.
X, like Luoluo, was not born in the Binhai City Police Dog Base, but from the distant border between Guangxi and Guangzhou, and is a border police dog.
It was born and trained at the Southwest Police Dog Training Base, and its training performance is exceptional, no less than that of Chilong and Prince, and even surpassed. Therefore, when X graduated from the base with excellent grades, he was assigned to the border armed police force, which has the strictest requirements for police dogs.
The lightning played by Feimas in the movie is a border police dog, but it doesn't actually know what a real border police dog looks like, and just plays it according to the script.
The hot subtropical environment is unbelievably harsh in the forest, especially in the rainy season, when the air is hot and humid, and you will be so hot that you will be out of breath after a few steps.
X is on the most dangerous anti-narcotics mission, and foreign criminals not only have pistols in their hands, but also light weapons such as grenades and automatic rifles, so X also wears canine bulletproof vests when performing the mission, which makes the stuffiness even worse.
During training, X fainted several times due to heat stroke, and continued to devote himself to rigorous training after hanging on the drip for a few days.
Due to the high humidity of the air, after a multi-day mission, its back, abdomen, and side of the body, all the places that have been in contact with the bulletproof vest for a long time have been worn off by the bulletproof vest, revealing bright red tender flesh, and then it is infected with eczema due to mosquito and parasite bites, and large areas of skin are red, swollen and inflamed.
Every time he completes a task, X almost has to peel off his skin, so X's hair is ugly and mottled, and new and old hair grow together.
X's owner felt very sorry for it, often held it for medical treatment, and bought Chinese herbal medicines to suffer day and night, and applied them to the eczema-stricken parts of X's body.
From its memory, Pemmas saw that this was not only the case for X, but also for almost all police dogs in the border armed police force. Neither the German herds, nor their ancestors, the wolves, are suitable animals for living in the subtropical rainforest, but they have devoted themselves to it for generations, even burying their bones, in order to protect the peace and tranquility of the border region.
In the vicinity of the garrison of the border armed police force, there is an unnamed hill, which is a police dog cemetery spontaneously set up by the officers and men of the border armed police.
Through X's memory, Pemmas saw that its owner took him to the cemetery.
It was a weekend, and it was a cloudy day, and almost all the officers and men who were not on duty in the station came to give a funeral to a minesweeper dog who had died in the line of duty.
There are dozens of tombstones in the cemetery, X was led by its owner, and saw a few dark red characters written on the nearest tombstone: "The Tomb of the Police Dog Boy", and there were two lines of small words next to it, which were "German Shepherd" and "Died in the line of duty in the 528 project".
The tombstone was clean, apparently often cleaned, surrounded by green weeds, and a beige dandelion stubbornly burrowed out from under the tombstone. The breeze blows, and the white crown hair spreads in all directions.
There is a pit dug under another tombstone, which is prepared for the police dog buried today, and the large letters on the tombstone read: "The Tomb of the Police Dog Michau", and the small letters next to it are "Labrador Hound" and "Died in the line of duty during the mine-clearing mission".
The duke's master held a small urn and wept silently and put it into the pit. The rest of the armed policemen silently waved their shovels and filled the pit with fresh soil until it was filled.
"Salute!"
In the solemn atmosphere, the commander gave an order, and the armed policemen stood upright and saluted.
The border guards are not good at words, and can only salute to express their nostalgia for their deceased comrades.
The environment is harsh, the enemy is ferocious, and the casualty rate of police dogs in the southwest border area is alarmingly high, and there are very few police dogs that can be discharged normally. As the days passed, bad luck finally found X one day.
It was a major anti-narcotics mission, which had never been made public to the public, and the officers and men of the armed police stationed in the area almost poured out of their nests to crack down on foreign criminals.
The criminals were not willing to be left to die, and a fierce battle broke out in the jungle.
During the battle, a stringed grenade is thrown near the owner of X, and he is unaware of it, as he focuses on the battle. X, who is trained in explosives recognition, does not think about anything, but instinctively pounces on it and directly knocks his owner to the side.
The grenade exploded, X was cut off by shrapnel and one of his hind legs, while its owner survived for his heroic rescue, only slightly wounded.
At the commendation meeting of the operation, X was awarded a second-class meritorious service like lightning in the script, but was discharged from the army because he could not continue the mission.
Both Luoluo and Storm are the first to be discharged by the owner, and then wait for them to be discharged as well, only X is the first to be discharged, and its owner remains on the front line of the border to carry out the mission.
X's owner is from Binhai City, his parents have died, he took X back to his hometown with a cool climate during the holidays, and put it in Fu Tao's police dog nursing home, and picked it up when he was discharged from the army.
Feimas believes that the owner of X will definitely come to pick it up, because they are comrades-in-arms who trust them to life and death, and nothing can separate them, and Marina City does not prohibit raising German herdsmen. Feimas felt a little sorry, if he had seen X earlier, he would have been able to interpret the role of Lightning better.
The prosthetic leg on X's leg was built by Fu Tao with the help of a carpenter.
Although he is disabled, although he is scarred, and although the hair on his body is mottled and ugly, X's spirit still maintains the vigilance and pride on the front line of border defense. It has the right to pride, and the crude prosthetic leg is like a dazzling medal.
Away from the front line, he remains a true fighter.
Feimas squatted straight on the ground, raised his right forelimb, imitated the appearance of a human, and saluted X.
