Chapter 87:
"This... I'm afraid it will be difficult." Although Su Hua couldn't bear the expectations of Mrs. Su and her niece, she could only tell the truth.
"There may only be hundreds of guide dogs in the whole country, and there are even fewer who have passed the training and have not found their owners. There are many people queuing up to lead the blind dogs..." Su Hua could only tell what she knew. two people.
After hearing what the eldest daughter said, Mrs. Su sighed leisurely.
Xiaojia on the side fell silent, her face didn't look very good.
I gave a hope, but this hope is very slim. It's not a good feeling.
"Wait, then what do you mean by what you said pity?" Su Hua suddenly remembered Su Hua's words and asked again.
"This..." Su Hua sighed, "Mom, didn't you just say that this dog named Xingxing is very smart, I just thought that if it is a golden retriever or a Labrador, maybe we can do it ourselves. I trained Xiaojia to be a guide dog, but it turned out to be a husky."
It's not that Su Hua looks down on huskies, but because everyone knows the name of huskies, it is impossible to be a master who can be trained in peace. Are Labrador Retrievers trained as guide dogs?
It is precisely because of this that Su Hua directly denied this possibility, and felt great regret in his heart.
"No, this kind of guide dog can only use a golden retriever or a Rab?" Mrs. Su continued to ask reluctantly.
Su Hua continued to explain patiently: "Anyway, the guide dogs trained by those bases are all golden retrievers or Labrador retrievers, and I have not seen other breeds. They are professionals, so there must be their reasons for this choice."
"Besides, a dog like a husky can't be trained as a guide dog just by thinking about it." Su Hua touched the poor niece's head again.
Madam Su quietly looked at Chen Xing, who was lying beside Xiaojia's legs, and spoke after a while: "Then let's spend some money to buy some golden retriever to take home?"
As long as I can help Xiaojia, I can buy a dog with money!
Su Hua paused for a while, and the volume became smaller, "Mom, let's think of another way, those people in the base have to train for so long, a little mistake is not qualified, how can we train What about guide dogs? If so, how can guide dogs be so scarce?”
The time and money spent on training a guide dog is not a small amount. Otherwise, there are only a few hundred in the country for so many years, why is it not enough?
After Su Hua finished speaking, Xiaojia, who was sitting beside her, reached out and touched Chen Xing's back by her leg.
Chen Xing rubbed his head against the opponent's palm to comfort him.
However, what aunt Xiaojia said...
If it is an ordinary husky, of course, it is impossible to become a guide dog as Su Hua said, but what if it is replaced by Chen Xing?
Chen Xing raised his head and looked at Xiao Jia, who had dull and gloomy eyes, not knowing where his mind went.
Su Hua came to Su's house for such a trip, and brought Mrs. Su, Xiaojia, and Chen Xing such a good or bad news. The atmosphere at home became a bit inexplicable in the following days.
However, both Mrs. Su and Chen Xing could see that Xiaojia was in a bad mood.
A few days later, Mrs. Su really felt sorry for her granddaughter. In addition, she had been paying attention to Chen Xing's puppy these days. She was sure that the other party liked to stick with Xiaojia very much, and loved the little master very much, and she was really very fond of her. Smart, always pays attention to Xiaojia's situation, and warns her when she may be in danger...
With all these things, Madam Su's original hope still came to her mind.
Finally, Mrs. Su put down the rag in her hand, washed her hands carefully, then took out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket, squinted to identify the number on it, and called Su Hua.
"Mom, have you eaten yet? Is there something wrong with your family who called me?" Su Hua on the other end quickly picked up the phone.
Madam Su and Su Hua chatted a little, without wasting any more time, and said her most fundamental purpose today.
"Xiaohua, it's really uncomfortable for me to watch Xiaojia these days, so if mom thinks she can try it, try it first. You can help mom find some training videos for guide dogs. Xingxing is so smart, maybe she can really Learn something!"
After thinking for several days, Madam Su finally decided to focus on the dog Chen Xing.
Those qualified guide dogs that have been formally trained, Xiaojia, can't get on, but if she really wants to make old lady Su do nothing, then she can't do it!
After thinking about it, others may think that this idea is really whimsical, but Mrs. Su still wants to give it a try. Since others can train guide dogs, their stars may also learn a little bit!
Don't seek perfection, just want to learn a little something and help Xiaojia, then this experiment is a success!
In the past few days, Mrs. Su has not seen Xiaojia go out once, a little girl less than ten years old, just stay at home and bored all day, can it be okay?
In the current situation of Xiaojia, if Mrs. Su really forced Xiaojia to go out, she herself would be worried that something might happen to Xiaojia outside!
But if you don't go out and stay at home all the time, it may be ok in the short term, but it will definitely not work in the long run!
If, as Su Hua said before, the guide dog can lead the owner to go out and go wherever he wants, without worrying about getting lost, bumping into a car, or falling on the road, then use the method of training guide dogs. Even if you can't learn all of the training stars, as long as you can learn a few things, it will be of great benefit to Xiaojia!
Madam Su is also thinking about Xiaojia's future.
Hearing Mrs. Su's request, Su Hua on the other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, "Mom... But the dog at home is a husky. If you really want to try it, why don't you buy a little golden retriever first?"
It might cost a bit of money, but it's better than doing all the futile work on the husky!
As for whether an individual can train a puppy as a guide dog, Su Hua feels that they can't turn to those qualified guide dogs with professional background anyway, so try it yourself.
Even if the final result is still very likely to be a failure, but after all efforts have been made, the regret in my heart will not be too deep.
"No need, let Xingxing try it first!" Mrs. Su refused Su Hua's proposal without hesitation.
Anyway, whether training or not, Xingxing is always Xiaojia's little friend, why don't you let him try it first!
"That's alright, when Xiaobin comes home from school on Friday, I'll ask him to help download all those videos, and I'll bring them to you when I go back." Su Hua agreed.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, mostly about Xiaojia's situation, and then hung up the call.
"Grandma!" As soon as the old lady Su ended the call, she heard her granddaughter calling her. When she turned around, she saw the other party standing beside her.
"Xiaojia, did you hear what my aunt and I said just now?" Madam Su asked.
Xiaojia nodded, but did not speak.
Madam Su sighed silently and patted Xiaojia's head, "Let's let Xingxing try first, maybe this thing can be done, if it doesn't work, at least we have tried it, Xiaojia, grandma said right?"
Xiaojia thought for a few seconds, then nodded with a pair of dull eyes, then turned her head to "look" at Chen Xing who was sitting beside her lap, the expression on her face softened a lot.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su smiled.
Su Hua is not a procrastinator, so this weekend, he returned to his parents' home with many videos downloaded by his son online.
Mrs. Su is old and should have no knowledge of these videos, mobile phones, smart TVs and other things, but Su Hua can't stay here every day and ignore her son and husband at home, so Mrs. Su can only learn by herself Watch these videos she brought over.
For the sake of her granddaughter Xiaojia, the old lady Su is also trying her best to learn these high-tech fields that she has never been in contact with. She takes notes step by step and writes these seemingly complicated processes on paper. To prevent the mind from forgetting and bothering the eldest daughter at that time.
"These dogs are really smart. Who would have thought that they could lead the blind!" While studying, Mrs. Su also saw the power of guide dogs in these videos.
It turned out that what Su Hua said at the time was not exaggerated at all. These smart guide dogs can really take blind people wherever they want. They know how to avoid roadblocks and vehicles. What route to take.
As long as he has been guided once or twice, this smart guide dog can take its owner wherever he wants without human help.
It's simply not smart like an ordinary dog, it's like a fine.
If Xiao Jia could have such a smart and reliable guide dog by her side, Mrs. Su would feel more at ease.
These videos more and more encourage Mrs. Su to create good conditions for Xiaojia. The first task is to train Chen Xing, not asking him to be exactly the same as the guide dogs in the videos, at least she can learn a little skill from it. Take Xiaojia out and walk around the village, help her avoid all kinds of obstacles along the way, and know how to lead her home, that is really content!
Facing the expectations of Mrs. Su and Xiaojia, Chen Xing, the dog involved, did not want to give up.
Even in this poor family, Chen Xing didn't eat as well as Ding's and slept better than Ding's, but Chen Xing still prefers this simple Su family. At least the owners of this family welcome him. It's not like Ding Jia's parents even cruelly wanted to sell him to a dog meat restaurant.
The Su family provided him with accommodation and food and clothing, and Chen Xing was not really willing to be cheeky and eat and wait for death in this family.
The owner of the previous life, Yu Wei, needs a real pet, and also needs a popular online pet that can bring him a lot of popularity, so Chen Xing can be his little ancestor freely, and usually sells cute in front of the camera. I can help Yu Wei.
However, the situation in this life is very different from the previous life.
The Su family can only maintain the food and clothing at home now, and the family is poor. The old lady Su should not accept a stray dog like Chen Xing in such a family situation, but for the sake of her granddaughter Xiaojia, she still did not hesitate. Chen Xing took it home.
If Xiaojia is an ordinary child, then it is enough for Chen Xing to be a loyal and reliable animal companion by the child's side.
But Xiaojia is blind, and it is very likely that the situation will remain like this for the rest of her life.
What Xiaojia needs most now is a tool that can help her adapt to this strange and dark world.
As it happens, Chen Xing has the full potential to become such a reliable tool.
