Chapter 897 You're Not Even as Big as a Dog
"I took a close look at it today. It should not be a pure American Shorthair. It should also have the genes of the Silver Tabby. Moreover, its fur really looks like a walking dandelion. There is fur everywhere in the house. However, its owner does not dislike it at all. He always wants to hug it..." Jian said with a smile.

"That's possible. It's small there, so you may not be able to see everything..." Lu Jingxing laughed when he heard this: "Then why haven't you contacted me yet?"

"Oh, you can't blame him for this. The man who adopted it is the male owner, and he is now in quarantine taking some exams. His parents are at home now, but the old people take the little guy very seriously, so there's no need to worry..." Jian explained.

"Okay, then I can rest assured. How many places did you go today?" Lu Jingxing asked. The two of them walked towards the office while talking.

"Today, one, two, three, four... um, I went to five houses. Brother Lu, let me tell you, you saw a dog in the property lobby of Chengfeng Building today. It looked so pitiful. I even wanted to take it away directly..." Jian said after sitting down.

"What's going on?" Lu Jingxing became interested and asked.

"There was no one at the property management at that time. I saw that it should be a retired dog, a big German Shepherd, lying on the ground. Later, a girl from the property management came in, but she said she couldn't make the decision. She only knew that the dog was a stray to their place, and they kept it there because they saw that it was injured. The problem is that it is so big and can't move. It's really pitiful. It should be a retired dog. I thought..." Jian opened his mobile phone as he spoke. He took a lot of photos of the German Shepherd.

Lu Jingxing took the phone from him.

It is indeed a German Shepherd. From the phone it looks like it is about 1.56 meters long, so it should be quite old. There is not much light in its eyes when it looks at people. It crawls on the ground, looking at the camera.

"Sleeping on the ground? Is he paralyzed?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"The little girl said yes. Their property people would carry it out to go to the toilet every day, but strangers would not dare to get close to it. After all, it's so big..." Jian came over and said.

"So, they just keep it like this without finding a owner for it or treating its illness?" Lu Jingxing found it a bit strange. Looking at the appearance of this German Shepherd, it really looked like a retired dog. Retired dogs rarely get abandoned like this.

Or is it lost?

"I heard that its owner was not actually missing. It seemed that he thought it was sick and didn't want to keep it anymore, so he just ignored it. I asked the girl to ask their leader what he said. She said that she was new and that the leader would be back in the afternoon, so she didn't know the situation." Ji An checked the time and continued, "I had an appointment to visit another dog at that time, so I didn't ask any more questions."

Lu Jingxing felt itchy after hearing what he said. He looked up at the time and said, "Why don't we go and take a look..."

Jian chuckled: "I knew it, that's exactly what I meant..."

Lu Jingxing returned the phone to him and said with a smile: "You are sure that I, Luo..."

"Haha, I think that we are the only ones who can save it. You should know that we will definitely not fail to save it..." Jian laughed and stood up.

Lu Jingxing took off his work clothes, said something to Ding Fang at the front desk, and then went out with Ji An.

Ji'an is still the driver.

The two soon arrived at the Chengfeng Building that Ji'an mentioned.

This is a relatively old office building. Most of the companies in the building have moved out, and there are not many people passing by.

After Jian parked the car, the two walked in together.

As you enter the glass door, you will see a big German Shepherd lying behind it. In front of it are two large plastic basins. One blue basin contains a large basin of water, and the other light pink basin contains half a small basin of dog food.

The German Shepherd raised its head, supporting its head with its two front legs and looking at the passers-by. Its two hind legs were crossed and it lay on one side, with its big tail hanging on the other side.

When he saw someone coming, he just stared at him without yelling.

"Wow, it's so big..." Lu Jingxing was a little surprised when he walked in. He didn't feel that way when he saw Ji An's phone. This thing looked even bigger in real life.

Jian lay on the ground in front of it and said, "Look, isn't it bigger than me..."

An auntie passing by laughed when she saw his amazing move: "You are not even as big as a dog..."

Lu Jingxing didn't expect him to do this, and he also laughed: "Look, you two are in sync..."

The man and the dog looked up at him at the same time, and Jian's movements seemed even more enchanting.

At this time, the property management staff also came over. Seeing the property management sign hanging on his chest, Lu Jingxing asked, "Master, whose dog is this?"

"It has no owner..." said the property owner.

"A stray dog?" Lu Jingxing asked.

The property manager nodded and said "hmm".

Jian squatted in front of the German Shepherd's head, turned around and asked the old man: "Can it stand up?"

"It can't stand up anymore..." The old man waved his hands.

"You couldn't stand up when you came here?" Lu Jingxing asked the old man.

"When I first came here, I could walk a little, that is, I could walk here. Later on, I could no longer walk," the old man introduced.

"Baby, get up..." Jian took out the snacks in his hand to tease it.

This guy will eat the food as soon as it is near his mouth, and if it is put far away, he will just look at it from afar.

Lu Jingxing continued to ask: "How long has it been here? This kind of dog should be very smart..."

"It has been here for quite a while and is quite smart. We named it Kara." said a younger security guard next to the old man.

"Can it defecate on its own? It can't walk at all now..." Lu Jingxing moved closer.

"Its spine is broken, completely broken, it's very obvious..." Lu Jingxing approached and pointed at its back and said to the two property people.

“Ah, no wonder Luo, why can't it walk? It's not that we won't save it. We asked the owners of a nearby pet shop to take a look, and they said they couldn't cure it. They also said that if we send it to a big pet shop, it would cost several thousand to do a CT scan or MRI or something, plus the cost of surgery. We are all working and can't afford it. We can only tell it that we don't want to starve to death, so we just keep it like this…” said the old man.

Lu Jingxing didn’t think there was anything wrong with what the old man said, so he nodded.

"Doesn't it have an owner? Logically, it's a retired dog and should be adopted by someone. It shouldn't become a stray dog..." Lu Jingxing asked after hearing what Ji An said.

"It should have an owner. We asked someone about it when it came, but the owner probably knew it was sick and almost paralyzed, so he didn't want to treat it and let it wander on its own..." said the old man. "Bah, how can there be such a person? If you adopt a pet, you have to take responsibility for it for the rest of its life. It turns out that its employer should also be responsible for it..." Jian cursed.

"We don't know about this. We don't know which unit it originally belonged to, and no one will look for it. Anyway, this is the situation now..." The old man probably heard what Ji An said to the little girl in the afternoon, so he was quite enthusiastic about Lu Jingxing and the others' arrival and had no aversion.

Gian moved closer and wanted to touch Kara, but he was a little afraid of dogs. This guy was so big, and even though he was paralyzed, he was still very majestic. Gian stretched out his hand, but immediately retracted it.

Lu Jingxing looked at him and said with a smile: "You don't dare to touch it? Its head is bigger than yours..."

Jian asked the old man: "Uncle, does it bite people..."

The old man glanced at him and said, "It usually doesn't bite people. It's very obedient..."

"It usually doesn't bite people? What you said makes me a little nervous..." Jian said with a smile.

"What you mean is, if it bites someone, it means it thinks this person is extraordinary, right..." Lu Jingxing also said with a smile.

The young man from the property management nearby pointed and said, "It doesn't bite people. It has never bitten anyone. It is not aggressive. But it doesn't like other dogs walking in front of it. It will growl..."

As they were talking, a woman outside picked up a Shiba Inu and walked inside. Before she reached the door, Kara turned her head and barked twice loudly.

The two sounds were so powerful that everyone present had a tinnitus.

The Shiba Inu was so scared that it ran outside. The owner couldn't call it back, but it used all its strength to jump out. In the end, the owner had no choice but to tighten the rope to catch it.

Lu Jingxing had been standing beside Kara, asking the old man questions while observing Kara's situation.

Jian quickly took out some snacks to comfort Kara: "That Aka..."

"Kara, not Aka..." the old man corrected.

"Oh, Kara, come here, Kara, stop making noise and eat some meat..." He threw the snacks in front of it, watched it eat, and wanted to take action again: "Kara, can I touch you..."

After saying that, he touched Kara's head while she wasn't paying attention. Kara immediately stopped eating and raised her head. Gian was so scared that she squatted down and sat on the ground: "Oh, I'm so scared..."

Lu Jingxing looked at him and laughed and cried: "Who told you to touch the dog while it was eating..."

"I, I can touch the black tiger when it eats..." Jian said unconvinced.

"Black Tiger was trained by us. What's more, it is very familiar with all of us. Kara, you have only seen you for a short time. Also, you really have a short memory. I remember you said that when you were a child, you were bitten by your own dog when they were eating. Do you really want to be bitten again?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Jian stuck out his tongue: "Hey, I almost forgot..."

At this time, Kara lowered her head and went to eat her snacks again.

The owner of the Shiba Inu ran in quickly from another door, leading the Shiba Inu, and the Shiba Inu didn't even dare to glance over here.

"Kara, stand up and take a few steps..." Lu Jingxing tried to talk to Kara.

The little guy looked up at him, neither responded to him nor showed any surprise, and his body did not move at all.

"Uncle, does it usually lie like this?" Lu Jingxing asked persistently, "Does it poop or pee?"

The old man gestured with his hand: "It can't walk, it can only lie down. It will call us when it poops or pees, and then I will follow it..." He pointed to the property boy next to him and said: "Let's carry it out together, and then carry it in after it's done."

"How do we lift it? One lifts the head and the other holds the hind legs?" asked Jian.

"That's it, I hold the head, and they lift it up by its tail and a few of its hind legs like this..." The old man pretended to do it.

"Will it not bite if I pull its head and tail like this?" Jian asked.

"No, I told you it won't bite..." the old man said, shaking his head.

"Oh, that's really good..." Jian nodded.

"It's very well behaved. It poops and pees around nine in the morning, and pees again in the afternoon. It doesn't bother others at other times..." The young man came over, squatted down and touched Kara's head.

Kara's tail was swinging on the ground, and she leaned her head against the ground, with her two front paws spread out, allowing the property guy to touch her at will.

"Oh, it's so well behaved. It doesn't look ferocious at all..." Jian said enviously.

"It's not fierce at all..." the old man added.

Lu Jingxing said to the old man at this time: "Uncle, we run a pet shop. I have a rescue station for dogs and cats. If it is not treated, it will definitely become paralyzed. Moreover, I just saw that its whole body is very yellow, that is, the fur is very yellow. You can see that its eyes are also very yellow. This is a very obvious symptom of jaundice. What do you think? Can we take it back and treat its illness..."

He has examined Kara's entire body. Kara not only has problems with his spine, he feels that there are many problems all over his body. If he is not treated quickly, he will be in real danger.

The old man said almost without hesitation: "Of course you can, then you have done a good thing. When I look at it, I really feel helpless. I know it is seriously ill, but my own body is like this, so I have no ability to help it. If you can help it, we will definitely not have any objections..." The old man became more and more excited as he spoke.

Lu Jingxing patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Don't get excited. It's a blessing for it to meet you. Otherwise, it would have died long ago. In this case, I have a simple agreement for you to sign. If it has any problems in the future, we will take care of it. We will do our best to treat it, but no matter what the final result is, or when it dies, no one can come to trouble us. Do you understand?"

"Of course, I understand, I understand..." Without saying anything, the old man took a pen from the front desk and asked, "Where do you want to sign?"

Jian smiled and said, "You are so impatient, haha, I will go get the documents for you to sign..."

"I'm so anxious. Seeing it like this every day, I really hope it can get better..." said the old man.

Lu Jingxing could also understand the old man's feelings. In fact, the older people are, the more afraid they are of their pets getting sick and that they might leave them at any time.

Jian brought the documents to the old man for him to sign.

Lu Jingxing was ready to take action. He had to take it back to the store first and give it a full body examination before he could give it the right treatment.
