The saying, "Even the poorest won't sell their guard dog, and the richest won't kill their oxen," is meant for people with a conscience. However, some disagree, arguing that "even a god wouldn't be able to resist dog meat after it's cooked three times." These are two opposing statements.
Actually, many people enjoy eating dog meat, and some of them even kill their own dogs. For example, I know someone like that.
Last year, a netizen went to Shandong on a business trip and stopped by to visit a friend who owned a dog. It was a yellow Chinese rural dog with a glossy coat, clearly indicating that it was well-fed and well-rested.
The netizen loves dogs very much. He has a habit of always petting a dog whenever he visits someone's house and sees one.
Many dogs will quickly become familiar with strangers if they stay at their owner's house for a few hours, are fed occasionally, and are played with. They will wag their tails and wag their tails when needed.
This dog is very shy, you could even describe it as fearful. It's rarely seen at home during the day, and it comes home very late at night.
A netizen deliberately offered the dog slices of meat. The dog immediately ran away when it saw a stranger approaching. Even when the netizen threw the meat slices in front of it, it wouldn't even sniff them; instead, it would run away as soon as it saw the stranger raise his hand. It then ran back to its kennel, remaining constantly wary.
Several days later, the dog remained indifferent to the netizen, running away immediately whenever the netizen approached it.
What's even stranger is that when his owner comes home from get off work, the dog is indifferent to him, showing none of the affectionate and playful behavior you'd see in other dogs. Netizens even wondered if it was his friend's dog.
The netizen was really confused, so he told his friend about his question. His friend said that it was because his family killed and ate his brothers and sisters during the winter solstice a while ago, and the big yellow dog witnessed all of this. It has been like this ever since.
So that's how it is; my doubts are finally answered. It's no wonder they were heartbroken to watch their brothers and sisters being killed and eaten by humans.
Even after the netizen left their friend's house, the dog still hadn't gotten used to the person! This shows how deeply the trauma of that terrible event had affected it. So much so that upon seeing a stranger, it instinctively thought they were going to grab and kill it again, and would run away in terror.
Before the dog was killed, its relationship with its owner was no different from that of an ordinary dog and its owner. It would act wildly and affectionately when it saw its owner, or playfully circle around the owner's house.
However, witnessing a family being "destroyed and killed" by their owner's knife firsthand, even if they still depend on their owner, a deep-seated distrust of their owner is planted in their hearts!
If it were a person, it would surely rise up to avenge its family, biting through its enemy's throat with its sharp teeth. But it is a dog, and the loyalty in its blood forbids it from doing so.
