If it wasn't for the fact that they already knew each other, Sophia couldn't recognize the Watson standing in front of her, who was totally different from online photos.
Like Mitch, Watson was fat like a ball.
Mitch Watson:"..."
He just loved the great Chinese food too much. It was those delicacies that attracted him first, was that his fault?
***
After feeding Mitch in the evening, Sophia took him out for a walk. Although Watson said Mitch could take a walk himself, she still felt that it was safer for Mitch to be with someone.
Kate asked her to buy some tissues from a nearby store. They just ran out of the tissue.
Sophia took Mitch out of the neighborhood. Mitch was not allowed to enter the supermarket. She did not go to the supermarket. Instead, she went a little farther and went to a small shop to buy tissues.
She led Mitch back. Suddenly, Mitch barked a few times and struggled.
Sophia was afraid of him running around and held the leash hard. Mitch was still barking and struggling to run to the other side.
Sophia was curious. She followed Mitch to an alley nearby. At the entrance of the alley, Mitch stopped and barked at a cardboard box.
Sophia bent down, opened the box, and stayed then.
Inside the carton was a tiny dog, about the size of a hand, probably a newborn. It looked weak, and his little body shivered in the cold wind.
It seemed that this puppy was discarded here. It was that the mother dog gave birth to many puppies, and the owner didn't want to raise them all and just throw this little pity away.
Leaving him here, he would surely die and not make it to the next day. Sophia picked up the box and headed home.
Holding the box in one hand and the tissue in the other, she could not free herself to hold Mitch and just let go of the rope. Mitch followed her obediently and occasionally barked at the cardboard box as if he were talking to the little guy inside.
She went upstairs with the box. Kate Green was watching TV in the living room when she saw Sophia coming back with a small box in her arms. She was stunned. "What is that? It looks dirty."
"I picked up a puppy. He was thrown away as soon as he was born. Poor little thing…" Sophia opened the box.
Sophia wrapped the puppy in a blanket to keep it warm but didn't know what to do next.
She had never had such a small dog before. She had no experience at all. According to the book she read, the puppy should be with the mother dog at this time, but there was no mother dog, only Mitch.... a grandpa dog.
She thought about it, took out her cell phone, took a picture of the puppy, and posted it on her blog to ask for help. There were millions of followers; someone among them should know what to do.
"Grandpa found a puppy, which seemed just born. I don't know how to raise it. Beg for your advice." The message sent out by KAP, attached with a picture.
Shortly after the blog was sent out, there was a response.
"Grandpa found a grandson. I never raised a puppy. The dog owner is really irresponsible. Even if the owner wants to abandon him, he or she should wait until one month later. Without a mother dog, the puppy can hardly survive."
"It's quite troublesome. You should buy dog milk to feed him, basically every hour or two. It's going to be like this for about half a month. You don't have so much time, do you? "
"Better to find a mother dog as soon as possible to help raise him. Although you're capable, you may not be able to take care of it."
"You can post your location. Anyone lives nearby and has a mother dog who can contact you and help take care of him."
There were a variety of suggestions from netizens. Sophia was a bit worried. She thought the last suggestion was quite reliable. She was trying to send her location when she suddenly saw a systematic hint that there was a comment from a person of interest.
"I have a mother dog. I'm in Lands City. She can take care of him for you." Said Chubby.
Chubby's comments were praised by many netizens, who praised him as a loving person and asked him to take good care of the puppy.
Sophia sent him a private letter. "Thank you. Where do you live?"
Chubby soon sent an address and said she could send the puppy there the next morning.
Sophia looked at the address. It was one of the most famous villas in the city. This man could afford a villa in a place like that. He was really not an ordinary rich man.
She was not surprised. He had paid her to play chess with him for five hundred dollars a game. She thought this man must be very rich.
The puppy had a place to settle down. But he had to spend the night at Sophia's.
It was not too late. Sophia went down to the supermarket to buy puppy milk powder. Fortunately, the supermarket was still open. She bought a special thermos bottle and a small rechargeable hot-water bag.
When she got home, she charged the hot-water bag, washed the bottle, poured the warm water in, and made a bottle of milk for the puppy.
She gently put the nipple into the dog's mouth. The dog slightly moved and began to suck slowly.
Not long ago, he was full and fell asleep in his nest.
Sophia picked up the hot-water bag and put it in his nest. The hot-water bag with a velvet sleeve was not very hot and could keep warm for a long time.
After these, Sophia sat on the sofa and looked at the comments of netizens to see if there's anything useful.
Many netizens were offering tips on how to take care of a puppy.. Of course, the dissenters also came out in time, saying all kinds of bad things.
