More and more people are keeping dogs these days, and many choose to raise them from puppyhood to build a stronger bond. But have you ever thought about the scenes of these puppies being separated from their mothers?
Today I want to share a little story with you. This man wanted to buy a dog, so he went to the dog market during his break and carefully selected a dog.
After some haggling with the shop owner, the man finally bought the puppy. He paid, picked up the puppy, and turned to leave when suddenly a large dog lunged at him. As he tried to break free, he realized the dog didn't intend to harm him.
The dog was lying on the man's lap, its eyes filled with pleading. The shop owner explained that the puppy the man had bought was this dog's offspring. The mother dog was heartbroken to see her child being sold.
The dog's pleading expression was heartbreaking, and the man's eyes welled up with tears. But there was nothing he could do; even if he didn't buy the dog, someone else would. The dog seemed to realize this, so it said its final goodbye to the child and turned to leave.
Seeing the mother dog's pleading expression filled me with mixed emotions. Dogs, like humans, experience a range of feelings. Separation from one's own flesh and blood is incredibly sad; look at this husky, seeing its puppies being taken away, it made the same gesture.
The golden retriever mother hugged her pups tightly, seemingly comforting them: "You must be good and listen to your owner so you can live happily ever after..."
Dogs actually know much more than we imagine. They just can't speak, but we can feel their complex emotions through their eyes. We hope that all dogs can be treated with kindness.
Popular Science: Many pet owners wonder how a mother dog can tell if her puppies are her own, since they all look so similar. She actually uses scent to distinguish them.
Therefore, pet owners should avoid touching newborn puppies unnecessarily. On one hand, it's easy to introduce bacteria to them, making them sick. On the other hand, the puppies might pick up unfamiliar scents, leading to them being abandoned by their mother.
