Morning Runs Are Simply Dog Abuse
Lu Chenghe sat on the sofa, petting Little Pudding who was motionlessly lying on his body like a fake dog, and he stood in front of a man who looked very ordinary and had a robust body. After lightly sweeping his gaze over the man, Lu Chenghe looked down at the dog lying on his body.
He raised a paw and pinched it so Little Pudding glanced at him, curled up into his arms, and stretched his paws out to let him knead them. Lu Chenghe"s eyes now carried a trace of a smile.
The steward on the side did not pay attention to the interactions of the owner and pet pair and introduced: "This is Mr. Jason, he has defended his t.i.tle as the champion of FCI Asia for seven years. The dogs trained by Mr. Jason are very well-behaved and completely satisfy people"s expectations. "
Lu Chenghe"s calmly and silently watched Mr. Jason for a number of seconds. Gently stroking the fur of the dog in his arms, he slightly raised his eyes: "Satisfy people"s expectations?”
The man named Jason confidently smiled after hearing this: "Dogs are originally very intelligent, so after a bit of training, they can understand more commands and terms. For example, the Samoyed in Mr. Lu"s arms ranks 33 for dog IQ, a rather intelligent dog breed. When young, Samoyeds are extremely well-behaved and now is also the best period to train them. Like junior high, there are three levels of training. Primary is the most fundamental with lying down, follow, and wait. Intermediate training somewhat consists of interest activities like rolling and playing dead.ating, catching a ball, frisbee, and pa.s.sing through obstacles. This training can be said to be more or less sufficient for most pet dogs, but of course, if Mr. Lu wishes, it is also possible to train the Samoyed into a specialized working dog. For example, biting, guarding, and searching."
Lu Chenghe listened and only nodded his head without much of an expression on his face, making people unsure of his thoughts. However, upon seeing this, the steward knew that the young master was not too satisfied with this idea so he stepped forward and spoke: "Thank you Mr. Jason for finding the time to come despite being so busy. Regarding Little Pudding"s training, if we require it in the future, then we will surely contact you as soon as possible."
Jason was somewhat dissatisfied regarding the fact that a final conclusion couldn"t be made on the spot, but he didn"t show it. There were many wealthy families like the Lu family recruiting dog trainers, and there were definitely many people looking for employment. To have been interviewed proved that his reputation in the industry wasn"t bad. Only after comparing ability could his own excellence be seen, so as long as the Lu family was hiring a dog trainer, Jason did not feel that he would fail to make it.
Hearing the steward"s words, he smiled and expressed that if he got the position, it would be his honour. Afterward, he followed the steward and left the Lu home.
Only after seeing that the person had left did Lu Chenghe"s eyes become less cold. Looking down and poking at the fat b.u.t.t sticking to his body: "How do you feel about letting him be your trainer?"
Zuo Ning really wanted to convey his rejection, he didn"t like that person. Although it was his first time meeting him, that person gave him an uncomfortable feeling. However, at this time, although he had a mouth, it was difficult for him to talk so he could only woof at Lu Chenghe two times. In any case, he didn"t expect Lu Chenghe to understand.
Lu Chenghe evidently understood Zuo Ning better than he thought as although Lu Chenghe did not think that what Little Pudding just called out was a response, he knew that Little Pudding did not like that dog trainer. When Jason stood in front of him, Little Pudding shrunk back into his arms, motionlessly lying there, and even his tail wasn"t wagging. Its eyes were spinning around and looking everywhere except at the dog trainer, and this behaviour was what it did when it was resisting something.
As for it being afraid of strangers, that had to be impossible. This little thing didn"t have this kind of att.i.tude when the veterinarian came over, so it was obvious that Little Pudding didn"t like Jason.
Furthermore, aside from Little Pudding not liking him, he also greatly disliked the look in at person"s eyes, especially the expression showing in his eyes when he looked at Little Pudding. It was like he was looking at an item that could allow him to get something, this was definitely not someone who genuinely liked dogs.
Thus, Lu Chenghe rubbed its head: "Okay then, if you don"t like it, then we don"t need him."
As soon as he heard this, Zuo Ning quickly got up and used two paws to step on Lu Chenghe"s legs and two paws to press against his chest. Wagging his tail and looking at him with eyes as bright as the full moon, he stuck out his tongue and revealed his trademark angelic smile to let people know that he was happy at the moment with just a glance.
Lu Chenghe actually understood! It turns out that they even if they had to step over their races, they could still communicate, so touching!
The steward who had just entered heard those words from Lu Chenghe. When he had walked to his side, he asked: "There are still two rather famous ones and the public"s opinions of them aren"t bad. Is it necessary to arrange meetings with them?"
Lu Chenghe picked Little Pudding up: "No need, a dog trainer isn"t necessary anymore. However, it is still necessary to find a nutritionist." At first, he wanted to make this dog obedient, but after raising it for a few days, he felt that this kind of pet did not need special training. If he was training it himself, there was still some pleasure in it. If he let another person train it, then there was no need to raise it. He didn"t expect this little thing to be able to protect the courtyard. Thus, he would just raise it like this. If in the future, it wasn"t obedient anymore, it would be fine after leaving it hungry for two meals.
The steward quickly said: "Yes, young master."
Zuo Ning, who didn"t know Lu Chenghe"s thoughts, only thought that his insight was good. Glancing at the man, he saw how good the man was to him, hating for him to suffer hardships, he even invited a nutritionist for him. At this moment, his happiness was about to burst out. As a result, he continuously expressed his joy by rubbing against Lu Chenghe"s body.
Lu Chenghe calmly carried Little Pudding who was suddenly expressing his happiness back to the bedroom. Although most of the time, Little Pudding was very obedient, causing mischief was probably part of the Samoyed"s lineage. Every once in a while, it had some convulsions, and the first time he saw it, he was somewhat astonished. However, feeling this kind of way again, Lu Chenghe was now very unperturbed.
After returning to the room, he pulled a rubber ball out of the kennel. Looking at the little thing who was wagging his tail cheerfully, Lu Chenghe said: "Go get the ball." After speaking, he lightly threw the ball into the air.
Zuo Ning paused for a while before understanding what Lu Chenghe meant. So it turns out that he wanted to train him, ah~ He really couldn"t let him be disappointed, ah~ Therefore, he quickly and diligently went to go pick up the ball. Biting the ball that didn"t roll too far away, he dropped it back into Lu Chenghe"s hand: "Woof!" This simple of a command was simply a small trifle!
Lu Chenghe also felt that this wasn"t very difficult so he then said: "Jump up and catch."
Zuo Ning quickly began to prepare, half-bending his hind legs, he made every effort to have an elegant posture when catching the ball!
However, he had evidently underestimated the movement of the ball as he… bit off to the side, the ball brushed by his handsome white fur.
Zuo Ning foolishly looked at the colourful rubber ball that bounced and gradually tumbled until it was motionless. This was seriously not in agreement with the elegance he expected, ah! Wasn"t catching b.a.l.l.s a dog"s talent? In the cute pet videos he used to watch, catching a ball was very easy for a dog. In any case, it couldn"t be because his soul was that of a person that he was entirely deprived of this kind of innate skill he was supposed to have, ah!
Looking at the silly Pudding who wasn"t able to catch the ball and seemed as if it was doubting life, Lu Chenghe not-so-kindly let out a gentle laugh. Zuo Ning saw Lu Chenghe laughing and unconsciously grinned afterwards. His round eyes narrowed into a smile and half of his small tongue was exposed. Lu Chenghe who saw this couldn"t help but hug the head of the dog who was showing its signature smile and rub it a bit.
Early in the morning, the sun had just come up when Lu Chenghe didn"t wait for Little Pudding to get up and instead, directly picked up the little thing sleeping in the kennel and entered the bathroom together with it. Only after wiping the dog"s eyes and paws did Lu Chenghe go and solve his own problems.
Zuo Ning, who was covered with fur that looked like it had exploded after sleeping, had a foolish expression as he was compelled to sit down on the sink. Previously, it had always been him who woke himself up and then went to the backyard to wait for Lu Chenghe to return from his morning exercise, but today, he was woken up. What did he want to do? Could it be that he wanted to bring him out to play?
Only when he was brought to the backyard by Lu Chenghe and was also asked to run with him, did Zuo Ning"s expectant tail droop down. Running this early in the morning, this was simply dog abuse.
Looking at Little Pudding"s seemingly somewhat unwilling appearance, Lu Chenghe pinched its fat little face: "After catching just two b.a.l.l.s yesterday, you got tired, really lacking too much in exercise. Starting today, you will run with me in the morning. If you don"t run, I won"t give you food to eat."
Zuo Ning held his hands that were pinching his face with his paws: "Awoo!" That was catching two b.a.l.l.s?! That was at least half an hour of catching b.a.l.l.s!
Lu Chenghe could ignore his resistance. After putting him down on the ground, he ran two steps first. Looking back and seeing that he was still sitting in the same spot, he shouted: "Hurry up and follow or else you won"t get breakfast."
Zuo Ning was helpless, he had no choice but to aggrievedly follow, but it was really easier to run with four paws than with two legs. This was also his first time leaving this big residence, even the air seemed to become fresh and clean. Originally, he was a bit unhappy, but after running a few steps, he had a happy expression.
The lawns of the Lu home were all regularly trimmed, and moreover, the stones on the path Lu Chenghe ran on everyday were cleaned every once in a while. In addition, he originally had the thought of bringing Little Pudding along to run and exercise together so he had the lawn tidied up over the past few days. As long as Little Pudding didn"t recklessly run off to other areas, it was unlikely that his leg would get cut by something along this path.
However, Zuo Ning didn"t know of these things. He wasn"t too far behind or too close and was behind Lu Chenghe, running while admiring the surrounding scenery. Following Lu Chenghe out, he found out that the vastness of the back already couldn"t be described as a backyard. After close contact, he found that the artificial lake was larger than any he had seen before; one could simply go boating on it, and if he were to run around it completely, he would probably get tired.
It was no wonder that Lu Chenghe went out to run when it wasn"t bright outside and ran until it was bright out.
Sure enough, Zuo Ning, even if it was to save his physical strength, obediently followed by running and didn"t provoke any flowers or play in the gra.s.s. After running a third of the distance, he was already unable to run anymore. Tired, he stuck out his tongue in a way that completely lacked image and unreservedly panted. It turns out that dogs could also be tired to death, and furthermore, they didn"t exceed humans in stamina like he had expected.
From the start, Lu Chenghe did not expect him to be able to complete the run. Seeing that Little Pudding was tired to the point where no matter how he called out for him, he wouldn"t move, he knew that this was his limit so he took out a cup of water and fed it to him.
Zuo Ning didn"t know that Lu Chenghe actually carried a canteen with him. Both hungry and thirsty, he could only drink water to relieve his hunger. Afterwards, he pitifully looked at Lu Chenghe. Let"s stop running. Why don"t we go back home and eat breakfast?
Looking at the limp ball of white fur lying on the ground in addition to the incomparably longing look in his eyes, Lu Chenghe poked his forehead: "Useless little thing. This short of a distance made you tired like this. As expected, you"re still too fat." While talking, he picked Little Pudding up. Since exercise also had to be gradual, he can slowly train.
Zuo Ning, whose head was on Lu Chenghe"s shoulder, stuck out his tongue and panted. It wasn"t his first day being suspected of being fat, he could say what he wanted as long as he brought him back to eat, this dog was simply tired to death.

There is indeed a dog organization called FCIM, but I"m not at all clear on what their compet.i.tions are like so I randomly made things up, don"t do an in-depth investigation~~
