Pet King

Chapter 156: The Cutest Dog

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Liu Sanlang got a free ride to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop after work.

Zhang Zian had borrowed a tricycle and was busy helping Wang Qian and Li Kun move the pets to Sun Xiaomeng’s clinic.

“Excuse me, is this a pet shop?” Liu Sanlang asked hesitantly.

Surprised, Zhang Zian looked at Liu Sanlang. Liu was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and a plain jacket, looking honest and innocent. A yellow silk chain extended from his neck to the side pocket on one side of his chest, showing half of his work ID.

From how he dressed, Zhang Zian knew he was an IT guy.

“That’s right. I am the owner. May I help you?” Zhang Zian asked.

Looking at all the pets being transported to the tricycle, Liu Sanlang hesitated and asked, “Is this store closing?”

Zhang Zian immediately understood what he was thinking about so he explained. “We are going through a renovation, so all the pets are being moved to another location. They will be moved back after the renovation.”

“Okay.” Liu Sanlang didn’t say much. He couldn’t help but stare at the puppies.

“Are you here for a pet?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Umm…”

In fact, Liu Sanlang wasn’t sure at all if he was going to get a puppy. He was not like Ye Yu, who was fond of pretty much any girl. He had one and only one target – Shi Shi. Shi Shi had only told him that she liked cute dogs, but she didn’t really define what a cute dog was. What if he got a dog she didn’t like? That would be a waste of money!

“If you have any questions, you can be straightforward. Customers are everything in my store. I am more than happy to answer your questions,” Zhang Zian began using his sales techniques and added, “It is okay if you decide not to get one in the end.”

Liu Sanlang thought for a second and made up his mind to give it a go. Ye Yu told him that he could ask the owner if he had any questions. The owner wasn’t the nicest person in the world, but at least he would be honest.

“Well, here is the case. My friend told me to come here. His name is Great Chieftain of Thunder Bluff.” Liu was embarrassed when he said Ye Yu’s name out loud.

Confused, Zhang Zian asked, “Who?”

That was understandable. The owner met with so many customers a day, it was impossible to remember everyone’s name.

“Oh. He said that if you didn’t remember his name, then I should tell you that he already got a girl.”

Sh*t!

Zhang Zian recalled it n no time. That single guy!

That kid who bought a dog to attract girls. He already got a girlfriend? That was not fair!

Liu Sanlang was secretly shocked. Ye Yu was quite good. He could even predict the owner’s facial expression upon hearing that he got a girlfriend.

“So… birds of a feather flock together. Don’t tell me you are here to get a dog for the same purpose!” Zhang Zian asked impatiently.

“Well… umm…” Liu Sanlang recalled Ye Yu’s warning so he said, “Of course not. I am here to pick out a puppy for my little sister.”

Zhang Zian looked relieved. “A puppy for your little sister…” He carefully looked at Liu Sanlang’s face.

That was weird. Liu Sanlang asked, “What’s going on? I can’t be a good brother?”

“Of course, you are,” Zhang Zian felt sorry. The brother was not handsome, so the chances of his sister being pretty was quite low. He asked, “What kind of dog does she like?”

Liu Sanlang was prepared for that question, “She likes cute dogs. What kind of dog is the cutest?”

Zhang Zian replied without thinking, “A damn single dog is the cutest!”

Liu was speechless.

Can this owner talk like a normal person?

“Well… besides that… how about some real cute dogs?” he asked.

Zhang Zian had Wang Qian and Li Kun stop moving the pets.

“Being cute is not the only criterium. Many dogs are cute. Do you have more specific details?” he asked.

Liu Sanlang rubbed his head, embarrassed. “Specific details… Well, I have no idea. Mr. Manager, which breed is the cutest?”

Zhang Zian laughed, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A dog that I think is cute might not look cute to you. A dog you like may not be the one your sister wants. The best thing is to bring your sister next time.”

“Well…”

His hesitation made Zhang Zian suspicious. “Are you buying the dog for your real sister? Or your made-up sister?”

Liu Sanlang was quiet, but in his heart he thought, “That’s none of your freaking business!”

“Actually, I wanted to get the dog as a birthday present for my little sister,” he made up an excuse, “So I don’t want her to know about it.”

“Oh, okay,” Zhang Zian understood. That was normal. If he was buying a dog as a surprise birthday gift, he would not want her to find out. Zhang Zian turned off his suspicions of Liu buying a dog to get a girlfriend.

Immediately, he stepped back and looked disgusted. “Do you have a Lolita complex?”

“What the f*ck?” Liu Sanlang couldn’t help but swear.

“Well, good to hear that you don’t. You know, there are too many freaks out there. I have to be careful,” Zhang Zian nodded, confidently. “So, is there any other requirement other than a dog that is cute?”

“Well… I want to train the dog with her. Do you have anything that is cute and easy to train? I don’t want a big dog though,” he said.

“Are you sure you don’t have a Lolita complex?” Zhang Zian started to question him again. “You don’t look that young. How old is your sister? Is she going to train the dog with you?”

“No, I don’t’ have that!” Liu Sanlang wished he could kill Ye Yu. Although he was prepared for the fact that the owner was not nice and also liked to pretend to know everything, it was a lot worse when dealing with him in person!

“Well, in fact, even if you do have a Lolita complex, it is none of my business,” Zhang Zian shook his head. “You want a cute dog that is easy to train, right?”

“Correct… and I really don’t have a Lolita complex.”

Zhang Zian pointed to a Labrador puppy inside the cage and said, “If the only requirements are a cute dog that’s easy to train, you may want to look at this labrador. Although it’s a middle-sized dog, labradors are gentle and seldom attack people. They are a suitable breed to keep in the city if you are searching for a medium to large-sized dog. Two others which are large to medium-sized dogs that are non-aggressive are huskies and golden retrievers. Golden retrievers are very beautiful and quite easy to train, but are not as smart as labradors. You know, labradors are often trained as seeing-eye dogs. Have you seen the famous movie that touched the hearts of all of Asia, “Seeing-Eye Dog Little Q”? The dog in that movie is a labrador. It can become a partner for the blind and help them avoid danger, so you can imagine how sweet and intelligent they are.”

Liu Sanlang nodded, looking a bit confused. “I have never seen that movie… how about a husky?”

“To train a husky? Are you serious?” Zhang Zian questioned, “You really don’t know about their silliness? If you are training a dog to be a joke, then you can pick a husky.”

Zhang Zian opened a cage and took out a young labrador, gently rubbing its hair.

It was a cream-colored Labrador with a wide forehead. Two soft ears were hanging on either side of its face. Someone would mistaken it for a doll if it wasn’t for its beautiful big eyes and cute tongue that sometimes stuck out to lick its nose.

“Compared to golden retrievers and huskies, labradors also have a big advantage. They are a short-haired breed, which means they are easy to take care of. You will be grateful when it is shedding season.”
