Chapter 122: Mankind's Most Loyal Friend
The next day, Hu Hao did not appear in the studio. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWang Yiyuan is also happy to be idle, and she is happy to plan the plan to find the dog in the studio alone.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Hao still did not come to the studio. The studio, as usual, didn't even have a single client who came in for a consultation. Wang Yiyuan simply gave herself an hour's leave, closed the door in advance, and went straight to the community where the client picked up the dog at that time.
She thought carefully that although Alaska has a docile personality, it will not always run after people, and if it can speak, it will definitely defend itself: I am not a random dog.
The client was playing with the dog in the pet park of the community at that time, and it is unlikely that the dog thief would run into the community in broad daylight to steal it, so the biggest possibility is that the dog suddenly became homesick and ran back to the original owner.
The client once told Wang Yiyuan that he had asked in the security room at the gate of the community, and no one found a similar situation where the large dog was taken away, so he suspected that the dog was still in the community, but many inquiries did not get any clues.
Wang Yiyuan has a different view, she always suspects that the dog has run back to the original owner's house. As for why the dog was not discovered by the security guard at the gate of the community when it left the community, it may be that the security guard only paid attention to the vehicle and the person, and did not notice the dog.
The reason why Wang Yiyuan always felt that the dog was very likely to run back to the original owner's house has to be said to be because of a novel.
In 1938, British writer Eric Mobley Knight contributed to a newspaper about a sheepdog and the life of a Yorkshire worker family where he lived. As soon as this article was published, it immediately received praise from many readers. So, in 1940, Knight expanded the story into a novel that would become almost a household name around the world, "Lass-Come-Home" (also literally translated as "Lacey Comes Home").
This novel has been adapted into a movie many times, and Wang Yiyuan has seen it a long time ago, and she was even moved to cry several times at that time.
The protagonist depicted in the novel and film is a Scottish Shepherd named Lacey. Although Lacey's family is a relatively poor family, it is in line with a saying in our country: "Dogs don't think the family is poor", Lacey has a very good relationship with the little master Joe, and will show up at Joe's school gate on time every afternoon to pick up Joe from school.
The time period described in the novel is on the eve of the Second World War, when life for ordinary people was becoming increasingly difficult. After Joe's father lost his job, he had to sell Lacey to a duke who loved dogs in order to make ends meet.
But Lacey still misses the original owner and runs away home many times, but is found by the new protagonist.
After that, the Duke returned to the Scottish manor with Rysie, who had been found many times, and sent people to keep strict care of Lacey, blocking almost all the loopholes that allowed him to escape.
But the Duke had a lovely granddaughter, and she couldn't bear to see Lacey so melancholy, and secretly helped Lacey escape.
Lesy then embarked on the journey home, starving and wading through mountains and rivers to return from Scotland to his hometown of Yorkshire. On weekdays, when Joe was out of school, a tired Lacey appeared at Joe's school gate on time with a lame leg, hugging and crying.
Soon after Lacey returned home, the Duke also took his granddaughter to Lacey's original owner's house. However, the Duke accepted his granddaughter's explanation, and was also moved by Lacey's loyalty and tenacity, so he pretended not to recognize the Scottish Shepherd as Lacey, whom he had bought, and generously offered Joe's father a job as a dog breeder, solving the problems of Joe's family's life.
The moving story of Lacey the Greyhound, defined as a children's book in many countries, ends with a happy ending, like most fairy tales.
Wang Yiyuan knows that novels and movies are things that have been artistically processed after all, not real life, but who can guarantee that the protagonists in novels and movies will not have prototypes? She believes that this kind of thing will really happen in real life, after all, it is not uncommon for dogs to save people.
Although the dog described in "Lacey the Greyhound" is Su Mu who is reluctant to return to the original owner and has to return to the original home after ups and downs, Wang Yiyuan believes that other dogs should be similar, otherwise there would be no saying that "dogs are the most loyal friends of humans". So she put her first stop in the search for the Alaska in the neighborhood where the dog's original owner lived.
Holding the printed photo of the Alaskan Malamute, Wang Yiyuan originally planned to go to the security room at the gate of the community to ask. What I didn't expect was that the more upscale community in the client's population was actually an open community, and there was no gate.
Wang Yiyuan looked dizzily in the community for a while, only to find a place that seemed to be a security booth. After inquiring, I learned that the security mode of this community is a little special, there is no place such as access control, but three fixed security booths are set up in the community in an equilateral triangle pattern, and other security tasks are handed over to the security personnel who are constantly patrolling the community in a battery car.
Wang Yiyuan was a little depressed. Although this kind of security model is convenient for the owner who often has guests to visit, it is quite troublesome for someone like herself who wants to inquire about the news.
With the mentality of giving it a try, she still took out the photo and asked the security guard if she had seen this Alaska.
Fortunately, the security guard only glanced at it and told Wang Yiyuan with certainty that he had seen the dog, and even knew which family the dog was.
Wang Yiyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly inquired about the specific situation, but the security guard refused to mention it again on the grounds of protecting the owner's privacy.
Wang Yiyuan tried her best, and even stuffed money into the security guard, but the security guard sternly refused. Sure enough, it is a high-end community, and the quality of the security guards is different, but this is undoubtedly a thorny problem for Wang Yiyuan.
In the end, Wang Yiyuan had no choice but to come up with a killer idea, and described the client's affairs in the most pitiful tone, and finally won the sympathy of the security guard, and promised to help her make a phone call to see if the family was willing to see her.
"Go ahead, she promised to see you. Mrs. Lin is a very nice person, you talk well, I guess she won't mind helping you. After hanging up the phone, the security guard told Wang Yiyuan so, and showed Wang Yiyuan the way to Mrs. Lin's house.
