043, [Salute]

What kind of dog is a military dog?

It has a high degree of neurological activity, its ability to distinguish smells is tens of thousands of times higher than that of people, its hearing is 16 times that of people, its field of vision is broad, it has the ability to light weakly, and it can observe things to a certain extent even at night.

I copied the above from the encyclopedia.

But in fact, military dogs are indeed unusual dogs, and they can be seen working in many places.

Even in times of natural disasters, they are on the front lines.

Even if they are muddy all over, even if they are injured and bleeding, they are still actively completing the task.

They are also warriors!

A military dog is trained by a handler at the age of four or five months, and when converted to human age, it is completely a child.

And its service life is almost eight to ten years, for a dog with a short life span of more than ten years, they almost dedicate their lives to humans!

Now, the charge lying quietly in the back seat of the car is a retired military dog, a veteran.

Because it is too old, it is a little old and confused, just like humans, and now it is rare to be sober.

Wucheng Cemetery is about half an hour's drive away from the kennel, and Charge, who had been lying quietly in the back seat, raised its head when it was about to arrive at Wucheng Cemetery.

It used to come here several times a year to visit the person he would never forget.

He was its trainer, its comrade-in-arms, and even a father to it.

The previous owner of the kennel was Chen Tao's father, named Chen Weiqin, who was the cousin of Chen Weiguo, a soldier who died heroically after retiring from the army.

As mentioned earlier, this kennel took the word-of-mouth route when Chen Tao's father Chen Weiqin was in charge, and he knew a little about dog training, which he learned from his cousin Chen Weiguo.

After his cousin's death, Chen Weiqin would often visit Chong Chong and adopt him when he retired.

After the retirement of military dogs, if it is a meritorious dog, it will generally be in the team to enjoy the blessings of the elderly, and some military dogs can accept the adoption of others or donated by the unit to others.

Since Chen Weiqin is Chen Weiguo's cousin, under some guidance, he successfully adopted Chong, who was ten years old that year, and was already an old dog.

When Chen Weiguo was buried, the charge came, and during its service, Chen Weiguo's comrades-in-arms also took it to Wucheng Cemetery several times. Since it was adopted by Chen Weiqin, it has also come every year.

It's familiar with this place, and it's the place it wants to come to the most every year.

Even if it is just lying quietly in front of his grave for a while, it will feel very calm and peaceful.

It's just that later on, it's getting older.

In the past, it was so clever, and it could even help Chen Weiqin manage the other dogs in the kennel, just like a little assistant, but now it has become an old fool.

Since last year, Chen Weiqin's health has deteriorated, and this year he was hospitalized, and the kennel was handed over to Chen Tao to take care of.

Chen Tao is a businessman, where does he care so much, he is not even a dog lover, he only thinks about making money.

He didn't think it was anything, after all, he still had to pay his father's medical bills, and the pressure was not small.

It's just that his mind is not on the dog at all, so that he always forgets the matter of taking Charge to the cemetery several times a year, and even if he remembers, he asks the staff of the kennel to take it.

As the charge gets older and sicker, and his health gets worse and worse, just taking care of it is troublesome enough, let alone taking it out.

And Charge sometimes gets sick, and it costs money to get sick, and Chen Tao is actually a little unhappy.

He is a very realistic person, in his eyes, a dog is a dog, just a tool for him to make money, other dogs can make him money, just fucking let Lao Tzu post upside down.

If he wasn't afraid of being angry with his father, he would sometimes think about leaving it alone.

As for leading the charge to the cemetery, he didn't like to do it for a long time.

Now that the kennel is completely commercialized, it is busy to death, how can there be such idle work!

He is now bent on making money.

By the time Lu Qing was about to drive to the Wucheng Cemetery, the charge was already a little confused.

The golden light that came out of the game system was obviously about to fail, and it shook its head vigorously, trying to sober itself up, but to no avail.

By the time the Mercedes-Benz G drove to the parking lot of Wucheng Cemetery, the charge had returned to its old form: his eyes were cloudy and unfocused.

But when he got out of the car, he looked around and seemed to feel familiar.

It has reached its twilight years and suddenly becomes very excited, or should I say excited!

It remembers the road!

Even if it's a little old and confused, it just remembers the way!

Since this is a public place, the charge is wearing a collar, and Lu Qing is leading the dog leash, and it begins to pull the dog leash hard, dragging Lu Qing forward, as if he is walking Lu Qing, not Lu Qing walking the dog.

Soon, they came to Chen Weiguo's tomb.

"It actually remembers the way." Lu Qing and the others couldn't help but sigh.

This reminded them of a public service announcement they saw many years ago, about a son who went out to eat dumplings with his Alzheimer's father, and the old man stuffed the dumplings into his pocket as soon as he saw them.

Obviously, he has Alzheimer's, but he still said: "Dumplings, my son loves to eat them." ”

At the end of the ad, it says: He may have forgotten a lot, but he never forgot to love you.

The dog's intelligence is naturally not as good as that of a human, but Charge will never forget its trainer, the trainer who grew up with it, trained with it, and lived with it.

It lay quietly in front of the tomb, leaned its head very close, sniffed the nearby smell with its nose very hard, and then stuck out its tongue and licked the picture on the tombstone.

In its twilight years, it was old and confused, and its emotions became more and more unstable, but now it had gained a rare peace.

It whimpered softly, not even making too much noise, it knew that its trainer loved to sleep, and it was always snoring, and it was afraid of disturbing him.

After a long time, it seemed to remember something, and instead of lying on the ground, it stood up.

It was already in poor physical condition, but it still persisted in doing a difficult maneuver.

It supports itself on its two hind legs, allowing itself to stand almost upright, and then hooks its two front paws together.

The charge continued like this, his eyes staring straight at the tombstone.

Even though it was already trembling, it still persisted, and it continued for a long, long time, until it could no longer hold on.

This is a movement that every military dog does, and one that contains a special meaning......

Every day, the military dog will do this to the handler.

- It was saluting him.
