My Golden Retriever
I used to be a person who didn’t like small animals. I was indifferent to the furry cats and dogs that people posted.
Until I met my dog.
When I found it, it was still a puppy, huddled in the corner, with dirty facial features and buttocks. At that time, my friends said it seemed to be a golden retriever. I had the impression that golden retrievers were a very popular breed of dog. I don’t know why it has fallen to this point.
I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t bear to let a little life fend for itself here. After thinking about it, I decided to cure its illness and then find a foster home.
On the way to the hospital by taxi, the little guy was still bleeding. I was afraid of dirtying the driver’s car, so I kept covering it with clothes. Both the man and the dog were in a mess.
The doctor said it had parvovirus, and whether it could survive depended on fate. Maybe it was abandoned for this reason. I followed the doctor’s advice and followed the treatment process. I had an IV drip and took medicine. Fortunately, it had a strong desire to survive and was very tenacious. After two weeks, it was already alive and kicking.
I suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in my heart – I saved a life.
And the dog was really very well-behaved. He was very well-behaved on the first day I brought him home. When I was taking a shower, he stayed pitifully next to the door, not barking or making a fuss; after I went to bed, he didn’t sleep in the simple doghouse prepared for him, and didn’t go to bed but leaned against the bed legs, as if he was afraid of being abandoned again.
Later, while preparing for the adoption of the dog, I was exhausted from work, and my whole spirit was not very good. One day, after working overtime, taking the subway, changing lines, and taking the subway, I got home late at night. When I opened the door, I found him squatting in the entrance, wagging his tail happily.
I don’t know why tears came out all of a sudden.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that it was not just him who needed me. The idea of finding an adopter for him was also dispelled at this time. The next day, I apologized to the person who helped forward the adoption information and kept the dog with me.
Pai Gu has grown up now. It seems that he is not a pure golden retriever. He looks silly. His friends joke that he has the genes of a Chinese native dog. Because of his large size, the landlord does not allow him to keep him. He just moved recently. During the physical examination this year, it seemed that his golden retriever ancestry still had an advantage. So after being neutered and gaining weight, the risk of heart health is even greater. This is probably the life of a working man raising a dog. It is quite happy.
