Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 105

Lots of dogs loved digging through bushes. Whether a dog stepped on the hedgehog or a dog owner found it, either way, it wouldn't end well. Hedgehogs could be eaten or even used in traditional medicine.

"You take it then. I'm not really in a good position to keep it," the husky's owner said.

Shen Luo hadn't planned on giving it to him anyway. "Got it. I'll find a chance to release it later, somewhere far away from the city."

"Thanks a lot, then." The dog owner was pretty polite about it.

But the husky wasn't having it. It kept barking at the hedgehog—still holding onto the pain from being poked earlier.

Shen Luo gave its head a light smack and said, "Alright, that's enough. You stepped on it, and it got scared too, okay?"

"Woo woo woo..." The husky still looked super wronged, but one glare from Shen Luo and it slunk off after its owner.

Once the dog was gone, Shen Luo carefully unwrapped the jacket. Inside was a big hedgehog—he hadn't seen one this size before. Not that he'd seen many at all. Hedgehogs weren't exactly popular pets, and apparently, they even had a bit of a smell. This one looked like a full-grown adult, still curled tightly into a ball. Its guard was way up.

Shen Luo found a small cage, stuffed the hedgehog in, and added a few things like carrots. After a long while, the hedgehog finally started to relax—it had clearly been scared out of its mind by that dog.

After lunch, Shen Luo came back to find the hedgehog had already eaten more than half a carrot.

Zheng Jiamei complained to him, "This hedgehog you brought back poops way too much! I just cleaned the cage and it already went again!"

Shen Luo looked over. There was paper lining the cage now—probably because it was too much of a mess to clean otherwise, and the paper made things easier.

He said, "Okay, okay, it's not like I told it to do that. Just move it farther to the back so it doesn't mess up the cookie sales."

Zheng Jiamei was so annoyed she didn't even know what to say.

In the afternoon, Shen Luo went to watch the competition, and Xiao Chuan tagged along right behind him. The two of them got seats together inside the venue.

By now, the secretary and driver were totally used to this. As long as the general manager still remembered to meet with Boss Jin, it meant he hadn't forgotten the actual reason they'd come to B City in the first place—and that was enough.

Today's competition was super fun to watch. It wasn't about speed this time, so things moved a bit slower, but it was still really interesting. For example, there were some boxes with mystery items inside. The audience had no idea what was in them. After the dogs came in, they were given something to sniff first. Some dogs immediately rushed to the correct box. Others took a little longer to react but still got it right. Just showed how insane a dog's sense of smell really was.

After that part of the test, they had to verify everything right there. The staff would bring out the item the dog had sniffed earlier and the one from the box to prove the dog had picked the right one.

In fact, not a single dog made a mistake throughout the entire competition—some just reacted faster than others.

Even though Shen Luo had lived with dogs for years, it was the first time he truly realized just how powerful a dog's sense of smell was. No wonder they always managed to find his hidden snacks.

In this competition, every time a dog went up, they used a new set of boxes instead of just switching the positions. That showed how strict the rules were. And it wasn't like the boxes had super strong smells like durians inside either—they used stuff with only faint scents.

There was also an assistance test. The stage was set up with different scenes—like the owner walking in, sitting down, reading the newspaper, and so on. Some dogs were super smart. They'd bring over slippers when the owner walked in, deliver the newspaper after the owner sat down, and even fetch a rag to wipe up spilled water. Total full-time housekeepers, seriously!

Shen Luo was watching with eyes full of envy. Why didn't he have a dog like that?

Xiao Chuan seemed to read his mind and said, "Because you spoil them too much."

And he wasn't wrong. Shen Luo did spoil his dogs—always giving them the best food and drinks, letting them run wild outside every day. In fact, Shen Luo was just really good to all animals.

He said, "Stop rubbing it in. Those are other people's dogs—no use being jealous."

Xiao Chuan nodded.

But Shen Luo couldn't help adding, "Honestly, Ethan and the others are great too. Ethan even helps me take care of the other animals!"

Xiao Chuan couldn't help laughing. Those cats and dogs really hit the jackpot with Shen Luo. He couldn't stand to hear anyone talk badly about them anymore.

Yesterday was all about witnessing the dogs' speed; today was all about seeing how smart they could be. After the event ended, the crowd was buzzing with conversation. Everyone thought the dogs were insanely clever.

Listening to all the chatter, Shen Luo figured Jin Guodong had probably already achieved his goal. Quite a few people were starting to seriously consider getting pets.

Back at the little stall, as expected, the cookies were completely sold out. Wang Wei and Zheng Jiamei were taking a break.

Shen Luo asked, "That dog playing with Ethan—whose is it?"

Zheng Jiamei shook her head. She was completely wiped out and just wanted to rest.

Wang Wei said, "No idea. Seems like it came along with Ethan."

Shen Luo turned to look. The two dogs were playing and chasing each other around, looking genuinely happy. Shen Luo had a bad feeling—could it be that Ethan found himself a girlfriend?

With that thought, he called out, "Ethan! Come back—we're heading home!"

Ethan barked loudly in response, then turned and seemed to sniff noses with the other dog or something, then trotted over. The golden retriever followed too. Shen Luo was really starting to feel like something was off.

When Ethan got close, Shen Luo asked, "Whose dog is this? Why are you bringing her over here?"

This was a pet convention—there wouldn't be any strays. All the animals had owners.

Ethan stared up at him with innocent eyes, like saying, What are you talking about? I don't get it.

Shen Luo was completely speechless. Even Ethan was picking up bad habits now!

"If you don't tell me what's going on, then don't bother coming home with me."

"Woo woo..." When Shen Luo turned to leave, Ethan hurried to follow, whimpering like he was begging for forgiveness.
