After all, it's my own dog. No matter what it did, I always repeat to myself several times before punishing it: This is my own dog, this is my own dog, this is my own dog!
Most owners are actually reluctant to hit their dogs; at most, they'll scold them sternly, try to intimidate them, or threaten to kick them out of the house. Of course, the dog might not really understand this threat...
For example, if you see your dog looking like this, sitting here obediently and feeling guilty...
Its smile is full of guilt, ingratiation, and a hint of luck and smugness... Can you still bring yourself to hit it? You'll just curse it a few times!
Of course, being a shameless dog, if you scold it, it will just listen with a smile, completely disregarding your feelings...
At most, I'll just look at you guiltily...
A quick, furtive glance followed by a swift turn away—that really reveals the dog's shrewd little thoughts!
This shows how important it is to have a good, regular relationship with a pet store!
