Chapter 35 Sled Dogs 1
"Woof!"
"Woof! Woof!"
As soon as Lawrence approached the house, he heard the barking of the dogs.
Salil quickly came out of the house.
Lawrence saw Salil and could hear her shouting from a distance.
"Quiet! Squat down!!"
Lawrence knew that he was not yelling at him, so he quickly walked over curiously, wanting to see the sled dogs in the north.
"Master! Wait for me!!" Sophia followed anxiously, but because of her anxiety, she accidentally fell to the ground.
Lawrence walked back and helped Sophia up, "Be careful."
Lawrence warned casually and continued walking towards the house.
Sophia quickly grabbed Lawrence's hand and said fearfully: "Master, I'm afraid of dogs."
Lawrence felt strange, but quickly remembered that Sophia had been in a slave house.
The dogs in the slave house must be very scary.
"It doesn't matter, you stand by my side."
"Okay!" Sophia felt much relieved instantly. Even the family in her memory was not as kind to her as Lawrence.
When Lawrence and Sophia approached the house, they saw three large dogs, each one meter and a half meters tall, rushing out of the sheepfold.
All three were white dogs with a hint of velvet. After they came out, their mouths were open, and their large bodies were sniffing around on the ground nearby, and then they quickly approached Lawrence.
Salil ran out and yelled anxiously: "Squat down! Stop!"
Lawrence looked at the dogs quietly. In this era, almost every village raised many dogs.
Dogs are hunting and housekeeping partners.
and food.
There is a shortage of fresh vegetables in cold areas, and meat is the main source. It is impossible not to eat meat, and it is impossible to waste animal carcasses.
Therefore, Lawrence believes that children in this era are basically not afraid of dogs. Most children have been exposed to these dogs since childhood and have to meet similar animals every day.
The three white dogs kept sniffing around on Lawrence's shoes and even tried to lick the shoes with their tongues.
It felt bad to be approached by three large animals, especially when a large dog walked around him to get to Sophia. Lawrence quickly shook his right leg.
"Go away!" Lawrence yelled.
The three big dogs were getting excited, and soon one of them pounced on Lawrence.
When it stood up, it was as tall as Lawrence. Its huge size and beastly head frightened Lawrence.
Lawrence quickly grabbed the big dog's paws to prevent its paws from pressing in front of him.
After controlling the big dog's forelimbs, the big dog, which could only stand on its hind legs, quickly became more obedient and barked out a quick greeting.
This dog is not hostile and will not bite for the time being.
Because he has just arrived in a strange environment, or has been fed, or has been let off the leash, he is particularly excited.
After Lawrence took control of the big white dog, the other two big white dogs quickly recognized Lawrence's status and walked back and forth in front of Lawrence with their tongues hanging out and small steps, hoping to receive the same greeting.
Salil breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and said panting: "Great Lawrence, these guys are not obedient at all!"
Lawrence let go of the big dog's hand and asked: "Where's Andrew?"
Salil was very Angrily, he put his hands on his waist and said, "He drank wine and has already fallen asleep."
Lawrence had not seen how Andrew got along with these sled dogs, but he believed very much that Andrew could control these sled dogs, and he was convinced that these sled dogs were in front of Andrew. Will be very honest.
Dogs are smart enough to tell the difference between men and women, and the difference between strong men and ordinary men.
"Well, let's go into the house. Where are these three dogs?"
Salil said angrily: "Lock them in the hut and let them listen to their snores!" Lawrence smiled: "It's really suitable to put them in Andrew's house. , I will help take care of Andrew at night, I hope he wakes up soon."
Salil suddenly felt a lot warmer and no longer angry.
"Thank you." Salil said, "Can Sophia and Lawrence tie up these sled dogs for me? I have to cook."
Lawrence said, "I can do it myself. Sophia is afraid of these big guys, so let her Let's go cook with you."
Salil heard that Sophia was afraid of these dogs and said quickly: "Yes, these big guys are indeed much more dangerous than Dom sheep. Poor Sophia, come to me." Sophia quickly
said After bypassing the three big dogs, Lawrence quickly shook hands and interacted with the other two energetic big dogs, and quickly threw away the dried meat he had not eaten today.
"Woof!!"
The three big dogs rushed out excitedly, sniffing for things in the snow as if they were fighting over each other.
Lawrence waited there, and Saryl asked Sophia to wait in the kitchen before going into the house.
Soon one of the white dogs ran back happily, and the other two also ran back wagging their tails after searching to no avail.
Lawrence thought the dog would eat the dried meat, but soon discovered that the big white dog had a bottle-sized piece of meat in its mouth.
This discovery surprised Lawrence very much. They could even pick up prey that reached their mouths and give them to their owners. These dogs were more domesticated than any dog Lawrence had ever seen.
It is simply a master-level animal training technique!
"Good boy!" Lawrence stroked the dog's head and took out the dried meat from the big dog's mouth.
The big white dog quickly opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, squatting on the ground and wagging its tail, looking like it was begging.
Lawrence didn't know how the tavern owner domesticated these sled dogs, but judging from the fact that Andrew's family didn't keep dogs, Andrew definitely didn't have this ability.
"Okay." Lawrence threw the dried meat on the ground, "Eat it, this is your reward."
When Lawrence threw the dried meat on the ground, the big white dog who took the lead in bringing back the dried meat quickly stood up and lowered his head to bite the dried meat. Put it in your mouth and swallow it quickly.
The other two dogs squatted on the spot, looking at Lawrence aggrievedly and expectantly.
Different from the excitement just now, the two dogs seemed very quiet now.
At this time, Salil came out holding the rope. The three big dogs acted very honestly and even a little scared after seeing these things.
Lawrence touched the head of the big white dog, and with the help of Salil, he threaded the rope through the collar holes on the necks of the three big white dogs.
"Are these all Doug's dogs?" Lawrence became curious about the tavern owner.
Salil said unhappily: "Yes, Doug has more than ten dogs at home. I forgot the names of these three dogs, but I just fed them, and they ate a lot."
Salil thought of something and quickly reminded: "If you go out, you'd better take only one, don't take all three, otherwise they will take you to a dangerous place."
Lawrence quickly said: "Okay, but I don't know how to drive these sled dogs? When Andrew wakes up, let him teach me."
Salil didn't care, stood up and said: "Okay, I'm going to cook, you can take one out for a walk , as long as you hold one, the other two will be found no matter how far they run."
Seeing that it was still early, Lawrence let go of the ropes of the other two, and only led the big white dog who had just made a meritorious deed and walked outside. .
The other two big white dogs were very excited after they were freed. They were walking around in the yard and wanted to go to the kitchen to see what was going on.
But when Lawrence led one of them out, the other two big dogs quickly followed, sniffing the land near Lawrence, curiously looking for food.
The mountains are very quiet in winter, and the men in the mountains are also quiet in winter.
When winter comes or it snows, the men at home mainly drink, sleep and brag, and then the day passes.
On the contrary, women, the elderly and children are busier in winter, taking care of livestock and children, cooking, making clothes, and drying grains and furs.
At night, Lawrence learned the names of the three dogs from a sleepy Andrew.
"Tim."
"Tila."
"Til."
The three sled dogs are rented for one month.
