Chapter 146: Holding One’s Breath

Holding the leash, Zhang Congwen spoke first, "For dogs that cannot fully obey their owners' commands and pose potential risks, using a leash between one and one and a half meters long is generally the most appropriate choice. If the leash is too long, dangerous situations easily occur. If it is too short, it puts undue pressure on the dog. The leash you selected is somewhat too long."

While speaking, he began to subdue the Pomeranian, forcing it into a sitting position.

The Pomeranian showed extreme resistance to Zhang Congwen's suppression. Its four short legs kicked restlessly in place, refusing to cooperate with him in any way.

Zhang Congwen naturally felt no pity for the dog. Regardless of how the Pomeranian struggled, his grip did not loosen in the slightest; instead, he increased the pressure.

Realizing that resistance was futile, the Pomeranian looked toward its female owner with a pleading expression, seeking her help.

Xia Lu took in everything. Especially upon seeing the dog's pitiful little expression, her heart ached deeply. However, the Pomeranian soon noticed that although its female owner’s heart had softened, Qiu Tianshi grabbed Xia Lu’s hand, preventing her from taking any further action.

Zhang Congwen glanced at Xia Lu, and seeing that she made no movement, he ignored her and continued to increase his suppression of the dog.

The Pomeranian finally understood that its resistance and appeals were completely useless at this moment. Gradually, it stopped struggling, surrendered entirely, and sat down.

Stopping his movements, Zhang Congwen said to Xia Lu, "You should have a clear idea of the process just now, right? Later on, I will send the detailed steps to Qiu Tianshi's phone. From now on, you must follow my steps and practice this suppression method at home frequently. Before long, whenever you take it outside again, it will become much more well-behaved."

With that, Zhang Congwen led the group to the next location—a dedicated area provided by the Xingrong Residential Community for dog owners to walk their pets and socialize.

This place was one of the favorite spots for dog-owning residents in the community. Not only were there many people, but there were also many dogs.

For this Pomeranian, its behavior at the convenience store was merely child's play; the place that could truly pose a threat to innocent passersby and other dogs was right here.

Upon arriving at the dog-walking area, Zhang Congwen instructed everyone to cooperate by pretending to be residents who frequented the spot and to sit on nearby benches.

Once everyone was seated, Zhang Congwen directed Song Jiawei to approach Xia Lu, acting as a passerby who was very fond of the Pomeranian.

Although Song Jiawei was cursing inwardly at being assigned to risk getting bitten again, he complied obediently with Zhang Congwen's instructions. He walked up to greet Xia Lu and, with a mischievous grin, quickly patted the Pomeranian's backside while its back was turned toward him.

The gesture was just like that of an old scoundrel hitting on a young girl on the street and groping her behind.

The Pomeranian did not actually register being touched at first. After a second of delay, it belatedly grew somewhat angry and let out a growl at Song Jiawei.

The Pomeranian probably had not expected that Song Jiawei had completely immersed himself in the role of a bully harassing a respectable woman.

Faced with its warning, this scoundrel-like human not only refused to back down in the face of difficulty but instead intensified his harassment.

Song Jiawei held one end of the anti-bite glove, waving it back and forth continuously in front of the Pomeranian while muttering incessantly, "My, what a pretty young lady. Come on, give big uncle a smile? Go on, smile, don't be shy."

If one did not know what kind of person Song Jiawei was, judging solely by his current behavior, he looked every bit like a rogue who deserved to be smashed to death with a brick without a shred of injustice.

Song Jiawei's vulgar behavior caused everyone present to burst into laughter, while the Pomeranian—which was far from human—was driven to the brink of fury by him.

It kept snapping at the anti-bite glove dangled by Song Jiawei, but no matter how it bit, Song Jiawei maintained a completely unfazed expression and continued to provoke it.

Seeing that its resistance had no effect, the Pomeranian's anger grew hotter and its mind grew more bewildered. Eventually, driven completely out of its senses by Song Jiawei, it actually turned around and bit its own female owner.

Fortunately, Xia Lu was somewhat prepared in advance and managed to dodge in time; otherwise, she would definitely have been bitten and
