Chapter 39.1 — Vicious Dog Shelter's Business

Teng University worked with many non-profit organisations. Some were organised by the school while others had been spontaneously organised by students such as at nursing homes, orphanages, and rescue stations. One of them was an organisation called Love Pet House which was a bit special. This was because it was not purely a not-for-profit organisation.

Love Pet House had a big business on the side. One side was where they sold dogs they bred themselves while the other side they took in stray dogs rescued by good samaritans.

If you wanted to buy a dog and can't find a good seller, it was very easy to buy a "weekly dog". A "weekly dog" was one that had been given a shot so would be very lively for a couple of days, and then would come down with a crippling sickness. If you were lucky, you could cure and save the dog's life. If you were unlucky then not only was the money gone but you'd be heartbroken too. A few dog lovers who wanted to raise a pet had been sold "weekly dogs" and were scammed by bad shopkeepers. So a well-respected dog shelter was very popular in the pet lover's circle and was often advertised through word of mouth.

What set Love Pet House apart from other pet shelters was that they were also involved in the rescue of stray dogs. On their social media sites, they would always post videos of rescues and would allow people to adopt their rescued stray dogs for free. Occasionally they will also post news about puppies bred from the shelter. A week later they would post a notice to allow reservations and would let people adopt a puppy after it had been vaccinated properly.

A lot of people felt that that kind of dog kennel was very reliable. The dogs that were bought were always very lively and healthy, so they would very happily recommend them to others. Sometimes when encountering a stray, they would rather run towards Love Pet House's signboard than deliver it to a proper rescue station for strays. Due to their good reputation, Teng University's students had been in contact with them several times and would often volunteer there. They would donate dog food and clean dog cages to save some labour costs for the kennel. The student hoped that in this way the kennel could continue this kind of public welfare.

In this way, the shelter was able to display a bright exterior but secretly engage in ruthless business.

That day it was a female student from Teng University who had volunteered. She had then arranged to meet a classmate to go window shopping in a street behind the dog shelter. After they had finished window shopping and waited for the bus, the sky was almost dark. They heard something that sounded like whimpers so they carefully hid behind the dog shelter's fence to check it out.

They saw some people carrying a few huge cages to load on the back of a car. There were many dogs piled together in them. Some were still moving while others were not moving at all like they were dead. The car loaded with the cages drove off before they could see it clearly.

That young girl was also not sure exactly what was happening. The second day she mentioned it in passing to the student association. Due to Little Pudding's incident Lu Nianqi, who hadn't yet received the laboratory test results back, became alerted. He wasn't sure whether his thoughts were correct but he then explained the situation regarding Little Pudding.

Because of this, the leader of the student association made the final decision: to go make a fuss. From the $100,000 they got from their sponsors a portion was given to Love Pet House. Of course this sort of thing needed to be verified. Otherwise, if it was true that something shady was happening then hadn't they indirectly funded the black business?

They were fortunate that after several days of preparation, they saw the car park by Love Pet House's side door that night. But what they carried out was not the dog filled cage that the young student described, but instead it was covered by something. You couldn't see what was inside at all.
