Chapter 2026

Today was another beautiful day. I lay in my warm and comfortable nest, closing my eyes to enjoy the rare sunlight bath.

Rice nudged me with his nose, asking me why I ate so little for breakfast and if I was feeling uncomfortable.

I replied,”it’s always like this when I’m old.”

Basking in the sun, he felt drowsy, as if he was recalling the past.

“Aiya, this little dog is really good-looking.” A clear voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

“Since you like it, we’ll buy this one.” A man’s voice followed.

And so, from the moment I was born with consciousness, I stayed in the cage and was brought to a strange place in a daze.

It was a brighter and more spacious place. I had a new cage there, alone with no other companions to share.

“Looking at your color and curly hair, you’re obviously a poodle. I’ll call you obedient. You look quite obedient anyway.” The clear voice squatted in front of the cage and tried to pour some food into the bowl.

I didn’t think the two-legged beast had any ill intentions, but I was very afraid in a new environment. I shivered in the corner and didn’t want to move at all.

“We’ll be your parents from now on. Be good is your name. You have to remember not to bite your own people, okay?” The female two-legged beast’s voice was very gentle.

After a while, I took advantage of the two-legged beast’s inattentiveness and ate some fragrant food. I felt that giving delicious two-legged beasts might be good people.

From then on, the name “good girl” followed me. In my new home, I lived quite well. Sometimes, my mother would take me out for a walk. That was when I was the happiest.

When I strolled, there were many two-legged beasts and other similar species outside. There were many beautiful little female dogs. It was really blissful, so every time I went out, I would run around happily.

However, perhaps I was too pleased with myself, but a problem occurred three years after I arrived at my new home. First, I felt an inexplicable itch on my body, and then some blisters and the like appeared on my body for some reason. Each part of my body was very uncomfortable.

When mom and dad finally realized that something was wrong, they sent me to the hospital and found out that I was really sick. Then they started treatment.

I bathed frequently, applied medicine, and took medicine, but the good times didn’t last long. After bathing two or three times, my image suddenly changed greatly.

“This isn’t a Teddy. It seems to be a hybrid. It doesn’t have much Teddy blood. If it doesn’t cut its hair for a long time, it won’t have curled hair.” I heard what the two-legged beast said, but I didn’t really understand.

“I spent quite a bit of money back then, but I actually lied to you. You do look a little ugly.” Her mother’s voice was still clear, but there was a hint of disdain.

After that, it would be time for a change in fate.

“I’ve already spent a few hundred Yuan on this disease. I don’t think it can be cured. Throw it away. It might infect people. Don’t get so close to it.” His father was very unhappy.

It was a tone that I had never heard before. I wagged my tail at mom and dad and then rubbed against their feet, wanting to make them happy like before.

But they dodged a little, as if they were playing a game with me?

“But my good boy …” Her mother seemed to want to say something, but she was interrupted.

“And then there was no’ and then ‘. I was taken out and placed on a path I had never been to before. At first, I didn’t quite understand what it meant and thought that I was separated from my parents. I had experienced it twice before, but I was quickly found and brought back.

This time, I waited for my parents for a long time, but they didn’t come. I thought I was very smart, so I decided to go back and give them a surprise.

It took me two days. Although my body was itchy and in pain, I still ate some roadside food and headed home.

That’s right, that’s where I’ve lived for three years. I feel like it’s my home.

I was worried that mom and dad wouldn’t be able to find me, so I ran quickly in the direction of home. However, the road was far and it wasn’t easy to walk. When I finally arrived at a familiar place and saw mom and dad, I ran over happily.

“Get lost, don’t come near us. Go away.” His father shouted.

He kicked me twice fiercely, but he didn’t kick me. I was really scared at that time. I’ve never seen my father so fierce.

After dad finished speaking, he pulled mom, who wanted to say something but stopped, and left. The two of them didn’t even look back. I was a little scared. I wanted to follow them but didn’t dare to.

I stood guard outside the house, thinking that maybe they were in a bad mood, but maybe they would be in a good mood tomorrow.

On the way, I didn’t dare to walk even when I was hungry. I was afraid that I would miss the time when mom and dad were in a good mood. Although my body was very itchy and painful, I felt that I could persevere.

For the next few days, I was treated roughly. Even when mom was alone, she just looked at me sadly and then left.

After waiting for five days, just as I was dying of hunger, I finally understood that I didn’t have a home. I probably did something wrong, so my parents didn’t want me anymore.

So, I propped myself up and left, afraid that if I continued to stay there, mom and dad would be angry.

After that, it was the life of a vagrant.

“Go away. There’s a stray dog over there. It should bite.”

“Let’s go, that stray dog is too stinky.”

“Don’t go there. There’s a stray dog there.”

I wanted to tell the two-legged beasts that I was not fierce, I never bit people, I did not smell, and I loved to be clean. But when I got close, the two-legged beasts would scream, so I began to avoid the crowd and rummaged through the trash to fill my stomach.

My body was getting more and more painful, and my fur was starting to fall off piece by piece. I thought that I was probably dying, but I still wanted to live. I worked hard to find food to support myself, and sometimes I had to fight with other dogs.

At the beginning, I would lose because I had never fought before. But now that I don’t have a home, I learned to fight and to win.

One day, I found a remote alley. Although the environment was not very good, there were no other dogs nearby for the time being. It could be used as a territory.

After wandering around for a few months, I had a new temporary home. Although it was just a nest made of a semi-old snakeskin bag, it could still shelter me from the rain.

I started a life of going out in the day to find things and coming back to sleep at night. However, more and more fur fell off my body, and my strength began to slowly disappear. One night, I couldn’t help but howl out. It was because of hunger and pain. I hadn’t gotten up for a day.

It was a night like this that I met a new two-legged beast.

He came out in his slippers, probably in a hurry, and saw me in a few moments. The experience of the past few months made me a little scared. I shrank in my nest and didn’t dare to move, afraid of being driven away.

The two-legged beast seemed to be very powerful. It could tell that I had a skin disease in a short time. It stood far away from me, probably afraid of me, I thought.
