"Then... can you recommend one?" Li Yao felt a headache after hearing about the problems of these dogs. One dog loved to urinate everywhere, one dog loved to steal food, and another dog was a little autistic and didn't like to communicate with other dogs. He deeply doubted his own vision.

"The adult cats and dogs in this yard have some minor problems, otherwise they wouldn't be sent out. But if you want to talk about a very smart dog, it must be Naima." Fang Yi said, and called Naima over.

Naima was still immersed in sadness. When he stood up, he didn't notice that the kittens and puppies on his body fell off from him and fell into a ball.

Naima lowered his head and licked the kittens on the top, comforted them absent-mindedly, and walked towards Fang Yi listlessly, with a large group of cats and dogs following behind him.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. I won't brush your teeth for the next month." Although Fang Yi knew that Naima was pretending to be like this, he still felt distressed.

"Woof." Naima raised his head and barked loudly, obviously very happy. He ran around the yard for several laps before coming back. The kittens and puppies behind him didn't know what happened, so they slowly followed Naima. However, they had short legs and some of them walked unsteadily, so they fell down easily while running, and they fell in a large group. Li Yao's heart melted by their cuteness.

Naima walked around for a few times, came back to Fang Yi and squatted down, showing Li Yao a smile.

"Wow, this dog is smart enough to understand what people say." Apart from Samoyed, this was the first time Li Yao had seen a dog with such a bright smile.

"He can understand simple words, and he can also understand what I say to him often." Fang Yi rubbed Naima's head and said proudly.

"What can he do?" Such an obedient dog must have been trained. Li Yao looked at Naima. Although it was not very good-looking, he thought it was okay after watching it for a long time.

"Basically, there is no problem."

"Come and shake hands." Li Yao suddenly stretched out a hand to Naima.

Naima put his paw on Li Yao's hand, Li Yao changed one hand, and Naima also changed one paw. Li Yao stretched out two hands, and Naima stood up and stretched out two paws, reacting very quickly.

"All dogs can do these actions, so you can't tell what's going on." Fang Yi shook his head when he saw Li Yao's childish way of testing dogs, and said to Naima, "Go to the kitchen and get two carrots."

After hearing what Fang Yi said, Naima got up and ran away. After a while, he came back with a carrot in his mouth. Naima ran to Fang Yi, put the carrot in Fang Yi's hand, and then turned and left. After a while, he took another carrot and handed it to Fang Yi, then squatted in front of Fang Yi and wagged his tail, waiting for Fang Yi to praise him.

"Good boy, go call Bandit over." Fang Yi praised him and rubbed his head. Naima ran away quickly.

Bandit was the rabbit that robbed people on the road. It dug a hole in the corner of the backyard. When it was free, it would lie at the entrance of the hole to bask in the sun. Naima ran to Bandit's hole and called a few times in a low voice. Bandit quickly jumped out of the nest and came with Naima.

"Bandit, come and take this carrot back to your den." Fang Yi held a carrot and put it in front of Bandit.

When Bandit heard what Fang Yi said, its two big ears twitched. It stretched out its two front paws, grabbed the carrot, and jumped away.

Fang Yi asked Naima to deliver the remaining carrot to Bandit's den. Naima held the carrot in his mouth, and was much faster than Bandit. After waiting in the corner for a while, Bandit jumped to the hole entrance, first carried the carrot in its arms back to the nest, jumped out to carry the carrot that Naima brought back to the nest, and then continued to lie at the entrance of the hole to sleep, while Naima ran back to Fang Yi.

"Oh my..." Although Li Yao had never filmed an animal drama, sometimes, a few animals needed to appear in the drama, so he knew how difficult it was to coax these cats and dogs. For a shot of a dog holding a shoe to its owner, he shot for a whole day, but it was not finished, and finally it was done by post-editing.

"You must have rehearsed these movements many times, otherwise how would Naima know how much two carrots are." Li Yao raised his doubts on the spot. Although these movements of Naima were difficult for a dog, they were not impossible if they were trained for a long time. If he hastily selected Naima, and asked Naima to do other movements, Naima would not know how to do them, which would be really troublesome.

"I haven't rehearsed it. My Naima is very smart." Hearing Li Yao's doubts about Naima, Fang Yi was unhappy and his face turned ugly. Anyway, he was not very persistent about filming. If he could film, he would film. If he couldn't film, he would forget it.

"Director Li." Du Qianze pulled Li Yao's sleeve, approached Li Yao, and whispered to Li Yao, "Naima is really smart. I have never seen it do what it just did before, and I have seen it do even more difficult things. Naima is the treasure of the Chinese Farmyard Pet Shop. If you doubt it like this, the owner will definitely be angry."

After Du Qianze finished speaking, he gave a few previous examples to prove that Naima was indeed very smart. At the same time, he also said that Naima held a very important position in Fang Yi's heart, so he would be unhappy if others doubt Naima, and asked Li Yao not to be angry with Fang Yi.

"I'm not angry." Ever since the dog saved his life, Li Yao had become a dog lover. Seeing the cats and dogs in the yard, Li Yao had a good impression of Fang Yi.

Knowing that Fang Yi loved Naima so much, he thought Fang Yi was a good person. Moreover, this person was straightforward and showed everything on his face. If they really shot a movie together, there was no need to worry that he would make trouble behind their backs.

"I think Naima is good, but I need someone to help me. Can I bring my two dogs here? Will the dogs in the backyard bully them?" Du Qianze had a good reputation in the circle. Since he said so, Li Yao did not plan to try Naima. At worst, he could change it later, which was not a difficult thing.

"No, let them in, Naima will watch." Fang Yi patted Naima's head, and Naima immediately ran to the door and squatted.

Seeing this situation, Li Yao nodded, thinking that Naima might be really smart, and much smarter than ordinary dogs. Fang Yi didn't say anything, but he could understand what Fang Yi meant. This tacit understanding was not something that ordinary dogs could cultivate.
