Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 20

Of course, many people also expressed their willingness to adopt Shun Shun. But Shen Luo rejected them without a second thought. Sympathy and emotions were fleeting, while raising a pet was a commitment that lasted years, even decades. If he wasn’t sure they truly loved Shun Shun, he wouldn’t allow the adoption.

Besides, Shen Luo worried that Shun Shun might end up being used as a tool for attention. After all, a two-legged cat was incredibly rare—people could easily spin countless inspirational stories about it.

The people who were rejected were not angry. The boss was right. Shun Shun couldn't walk yet, and the wound needed to be observed. Shun Shun needed follow-up medical treatment. Besides, Shun Shun couldn't walk, and food and drink need to be brought to its mouth.

Most people didn't have the energy and patience. It also needed someone to watch it when it went to the toilet. Most people couldn't stand the smell. And at night, it needed to be covered with old towels and old clothes so that Shun Shun could get up smoothly.

After everyone understood, they no longer asked to adopt Shun Shun, and turned to look at other cats in the store.

Thanks to Shun Shun’s influence, about ten cats and four dogs from the hospital were adopted.

There were even more people who wanted to adopt, but Shen Luo rejected those who didn’t meet the requirements—such as university students or people with unstable incomes and jobs. If they couldn’t even support themselves, how could they take care of a pet? The risk of abandonment was just too high.

Because of the consumption of these adopters, the store's turnover has increased slightly. Shen Luo walked with the wind those days.

The long-haired cat, Qiu Qiu, still hadn’t been adopted. Many people liked her—being good-looking was definitely an advantage—but she was just too timid.

Even now, Ah Fei still chased her around, but she wasn’t willing to leave with anyone either. She had probably been abandoned before and was too scared to trust humans again.

There were more and more permanent residents in the hospital. After raising them for a long time, Shen Luo had developed feelings for them and didn't want to send them away.

On this day, Shen Luo was walking with a few dogs in the park, holding a bag and newspaper in his hand. Seeing that the dog started to pose, he rushed over and put the newspaper under his buttocks. After the dog was done, he put the newspaper away and stuffed it into the bag.

Walking the dog was not an easy thing!

Yujin River Park was very large, and it was built as an image project for the city, so there were many activities here, such as square dancing, roller skating, and sometimes short-term calligraphy and painting exhibitions, children's art festivals, and many more— so there were still many people during holidays.

There was a performance on this day, which attracted many passers-by to watch. In the evening, the event ended, and a woman found that her child was missing.

The woman was in her thirties or forties, with messy hair. She asked passers-by anxiously if they had seen her child, and everyone said no.

The old ladies in the park couldn't stand it anymore, and asked her when she lost her child and whether she had called 110. The woman was incoherent. She was so engrossed in watching the performance that she didn't pay attention and the child in her hand disappeared. She and her husband had been married for more than ten years and finally had a son. She was heartbroken, but she didn't expect that the child was taken away by someone due to negligence.

The old ladies asked the woman to call and hold her tightly.

Shen Luo heard this and couldn't help but frown. It was really difficult to find a child who was taken away!

"When did you find out that the child was missing?"

After the woman finished the call, Shen Luo couldn't help asking.

When the woman saw someone asking, she felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Five minutes ago, I pulled his hand and told him to hold on tight, not to get lost or squeezed out. In the blink of an eye, he was gone! It had been at most five minutes! Those damned human traffickers! They will go to hell after they die!"

The woman was obviously trying to excuse herself. The child was lost, and the adults had a very important responsibility. The child had no ability to take care of himself. It was usually because the adults had not been paying attention that the human traffickers had an opportunity to take advantage of him. But it was a very common mentality for people to find excuses for themselves, shirk responsibilities, and downplay their mistakes. Shen Luo was too lazy to care about this.

"Do you have any clothes for the child here?"

The woman hurriedly took out a jacket and said, "This is what he wore today, but he took it off because he felt hot."

Shen Luo called all his dogs and let each dog smell the smell on it.

The woman was full of hope, but also a little confused, and asked, "Your dogs should be able to find my son, right?"

Shen Luo patted the head of each dog, and took the time to say, "I can't guarantee this, I can only say that I will do my best. You know, after the traffickers take the child, they will leave the scene as quickly as possible."

The woman's face suddenly turned pale.

Shen Luo promised everyone that if they could find the child, they would have an extra meal tonight! All meat!

The dogs immediately ran out with a howl, and Shen Luo himself led a husky that was not yet an adult and began to search in the park.

In fact, dogs have a strong sense of smell, but only some can be trained as police dogs or search-and-rescue dogs due to their special temperament. However, for Shen Luo, a dog's personality was not a problem at all, as he could communicate with them effortlessly and clearly convey his intentions.

At this time, Xiao Chuan ran over, followed by a few cats.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"That woman's child is missing." Shen Luo pointed at the anxious woman and said.

Xiao Chuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced around, and lowered his voice, saying, "The chances of getting it back don't seem very high, do they?"

In the United States, there were two specialized systems dedicated to handling missing children cases, which was why the recovery rate for missing children exceeded 90%. However, our country fell short in this regard. Additionally, the long history of human trafficking had made it difficult to expose and dismantle the profit chain, making the problem even harder to resolve.
