Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 115

After a few chickens got caught, everyone checked the time—less than ten minutes! Way faster than the previous two teams!

Before anyone could even finish gasping in surprise, the dogs started dragging the chicken coop toward Shen Luo, each of them gripping it with their teeth!

Shen Luo was stunned. He had a vague idea what Brother Hei and the others were trying to do—but he swore he never taught them this!

The dogs yanked and dragged the coop along, scaring the chickens inside into a flurry of panicked clucks and flapping wings.

Even the host was dumbfounded by the scene and forgot to signal the staff to intervene.

So the dogs quickly delivered the coop right to Shen Luo's feet!

Shen Luo: ...How did I end up raising a pack of bandits?

Maybe because Brother Hei and the others had always been around chickens, and there weren't any other houses nearby, they just assumed any chicken they saw belonged to them. So once the coop was loaded, they brought it straight over to Shen Luo, wagging their tails like crazy, clearly waiting for a reward!

At this point, both the audience and the judges totally got it, and burst out laughing. They clapped, whistled, and cheered—it was the first time anyone had seen such wild dogs in a competition!

Shen Luo gave a stiff, awkward smile. He had no choice but to pat the dogs and hand out some little biscuits. That only made them more convinced they'd done everything perfectly!

Shen Luo was nearly in tears.

Thankfully, after the judges talked it over, they decided the last part wouldn't affect the results. Brother Hei's team was still the fastest at catching chickens. And just by eyeballing it, it looked like they lost the least feathers during the process and did the least damage to the birds.

When the staff came to take the chickens over to the judges, Brother Hei and the others still stood guard over the coop. Shen Luo had to go over himself and coax them away, promising that he'd cook a chicken for them when they got home. Only then did they reluctantly let go of the cage. The staff could barely hold in their laughter, and Shen Luo felt like his dignity was in shambles.

Finally, once the audience settled down and the next part of the contest got going, Shen Luo's mood started to calm down a bit.

But it wasn't until the later dogs came out that Shen Luo really began to feel better—because the rest of them were worse than Brother Hei's crew. They had chickens running all over the place and still couldn't catch them. Almost none of the other dogs managed to work as a team, and one time a chicken even flew into the judges' area, sending the crowd into fits of laughter. The judges didn't seem mad, but they definitely weren't handing out high scores either.

Seeing that the other dogs were doing worse than his, Shen Luo finally relaxed. As long as he wasn't the only one embarrassed, it was fine.

The first round of the competition took nearly an hour to finish. After a short break, they moved on to the next event.

The weight-pulling contest was simple. They used that same modified chair from earlier. The owner would load it up with supplies and give a command to move it. The team whose dog delivered the load the fastest—with the least stuff falling off—would win. And honestly, you could already guess how it was gonna go just from how the dogs performed earlier: whichever dog pulled the most and kept it steady was going to take the win.

Brother Hei's team wasn't the one pulling the heaviest load, but they were definitely the steadiest—and they were fast, too. So in the end, they naturally took the transport championship.

The last event was the toughest one: a relay-style race. Just like a human relay, each dog was only responsible for their specific leg of the course. The main challenge was whether the dogs could smoothly pass the item between each other.

This kind of coordination training took time and effort to really nail down—it was also the hardest event in the whole team competition.

Fortunately, they didn't have to pass around something tricky like a round apple or pear. Instead, the relay baton was a bone-shaped chew toy that dogs were familiar with.

Shen Luo was especially nervous about this event. They'd gained an edge in the first two rounds, which is how they managed to stay in the lead, but this third one was a wildcard. And the final score wasn't based on placements for each individual event—it was the total points from all three. So even if they'd taken first place in the first two, if they messed up this round and scored low, they could still end up completely out of the prize rankings.

Also, unlike a human relay race, the rule wasn't about the total time it took to complete a pass. Instead, it was about which team could complete the most successful passes within the set time limit. Any drops or mistakes during the handoff would affect the final score.

What worried Shen Luo most was the white dog on his team, Bai Dian'er. Bai Dian'er had some oral health issues—chronic bad breath and recurring mouth ulcers. Wang Bo said it couldn't be fully cured, only managed with regular brushing and hygiene to lower the chances of flare-ups. Unfortunately, Bai Dian'er's ulcers had recently come back.

Before the match began, the field was split into four sections. Each team had to send out four dogs for the relay. Forgot to mention—each team in the group events could have between four and seven dogs, and they could swap out different ones for different competitions. The other teams rotated their dogs for breaks, but Brother Hei's crew had to show up for every round.

Soon, the event began. One staff member stood in the center to hand out the chew toys, while another stood at the end to monitor the final drop-off—any toy that didn't get into the box wouldn't count toward the score.

Shen Luo wasn't worried about whether Brother Hei and the others understood the rules. He was just anxious something might go wrong during the handoff.

At the start, most teams ran into trouble. Some dogs jumped over the barriers, thinking it was a hurdle race, and tried to carry the toy straight to the end. Others ran off in the wrong direction. Some even just flopped down and started chewing on the toy like it was playtime. Their owners had to come in and fix things or give them a quick lesson, and the event restarted after five minutes.

Shen Luo gave each dog a small biscuit and told them to do their best. If they nailed this, they wouldn't just get a giant bowl of beef, radish, and potatoes—they'd also get a whole chicken.

Brother Hei's crew was super pumped. It had been forever since they'd had chicken!
