[米格魯傳奇 Part I]
Anyone want to adopt a beagle (米格魯)?
The place where I found the dog is around ***** MRT Station(*****捷運站)! I found him at around ***** and finally got him to the animal hospital at around 10:40 PM.
-----------------------------------------------------
While I was walking with Ms. Yang (my wife) tonight, we saw a beagle running around the park close to Shi-Pai MRT station. We thought it was strange that such a cute little dog would run around in the cold. But we thought that he belonged to (屬於) someone and left.
However, one and a half hours later, after Ms. Yang applied for an iPhone and i...Paid, we saw the beagle running around the same region (two different places about 5-10 min away from each other), shivering (發抖) but still running.
Thinking it was very strange (奇怪), we looked and asked around but no one knew where the dog was from. We followed him for a bit and saw him chewing branches and paper, so we bought some hot dogs and tea eggs for him.
He literally jumped and bit the food off of my hands after I fed him one, so we knew he was starving (挨餓的). He was also wearing a metal chain around his neck with no tag (牌子). The chain was was too tight and the fur around its neck were possibly slightly rubbed off.
We didn't really know what to do because my place was not suitable. We couldn't really call an animal shelter (動物收容所) because they would just pick him up and euthanize (安樂死) him after several days.
Luckily, there was a pet store nearby. I asked the owner if she would help me keep him. She could not because her store only sells rabbits and hamsters (黃金鼠). However, she is a kind person and told us we should take the dog to the animal hospital a few blocks away.
The problem was...the dog had no leash (拴狗的皮帶) and would not follow me. I didn't dare (不敢) touch him because well...I was also a bit afraid...it's a stray dog after all, and I could not get bitten because I still have about 20 HW assignments to grade.
In order to solve this problem, I ran to the convenience store again to buy more tea eggs and hot dogs while my wife watched over the dog. With the food, we lured (引) him to the animal hospital...but on the way...close to the hospital, he ran away...orz.
WTF@##$#$%%@$$!
We were about to give up, but I went to look for him in the park and there he was. I used more food (I ran to the convenience store again) to lure him to the pet shop because it was closer. The pet shop owner helped me put a leash on this time and we took him to the animal hospital.
By this time, the dog had gotten used to me and followed me semi-willingly (半-心甘情願). The pet shop owner was also with us because she wanted to help...she was very kind. When we got to the hospital, the dog would not go in so we had to drag (拖著) him.
The vets at the "hospital" or clinic were busy stitching up (縫合) another dog. They told us to wait. After waiting for about 20 minutes, the vet told us that their dog ID tag (implant e-tag) scanner (晶片掃描機) was broken. However, they would take the dog in for the night for a fee of course.
I could not keep the dog at my place so the pet store owner told me to leave the dog at the vet, and she will take it to another hospital to scan for the e-tag (晶片) tomorrow and find the owner if possible.
If the dog does not have an e-tag, then the pet store owner says the dog should be given for adoption (收養).
So, does anyone want a beagle?
The dog is about 1-2 years old, it's male and very cute. However, it is a bit jumpy. I'm sure it will be fine with a little training though. After feeding him, he became friendly and would even sit on command. I'm pretty sure someone abandoned or lost this cute dog.
If you take the dog in, I will help you do your SOP. No joke.
I will post a picture of the dog tomorrow. It's at the animal clinic now, and I'm exhausted from running after it all night.
The picture I posted is NOT the actual dog, but the dog looks nearly identical to the one in the picture.
