Lin Feng squatted down and looked at the Border Collie puppy before him.
Suddenly, the puppy seemed to recognize Lin Feng and grew very excited. It kept trying to rub its head against him, its tail wagging like a propeller.
The nurse smiled and said, "It looks like he recognizes you. He doesn't act like this with anyone else."
Lin Feng opened the cage, and the dog immediately rushed out. It circled him, wagging its bald tail with an utterly fawning expression. Lin Feng looked at the dog and had a gut feeling. Once he was nursed back to health, he would definitely grow into a beautiful dog.
Lin Feng squatted down to put a leash and a dog tag on the puppy, then stroked its head. The puppy was as happy as a child.
"Little guy, is it because you recognize him as the master who saved you that you're so happy?" the nurse asked from the side. "He's usually well-behaved, but he always seems a bit gloomy. This is the first time I've seen him so cheerful. You must take good care of him; he hasn't had it easy."
Lin Feng drove his BMW, placing the puppy in the passenger seat. "Good boy, we'll be home soon."
He drove into the yard. Zhang Yuxi came out when she heard the car and was astonished. "Wow, he's changed so much!"
"Are the babies sleeping?"
"Mhm."
Zhang Yuxi was a little hesitant. "Honey, does he bite?"
Lin Feng brought the puppy over to his wife. The dog sniffed Zhang Yuxi, caught Lin Feng's scent on her, and happily spun in circles. It even stretched its head out, asking to be petted.
Zhang Yuxi cautiously reached out and stroked it a few times. Discovering the puppy was very gentle, she smiled.
After moving all the new supplies inside, the couple discussed it and decided to set up the dog's bed next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The doggy toilet would be kept outside. Based on a recommendation, they had bought a flat tray model without a grid. They would lay an absorbent pad on it, which was super absorbent. One pad a day would keep everything clean and sanitary.
After arranging everything, Lin Feng started acquainting the puppy with its new home.
"Honey, what should we name him?"
Zhang Yuxi hesitated. "You know I'm terrible at naming things, honey. You decide."
Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Let's call him Dabai."
Zhang Yuxi was stunned. "..."
Honey, that's such a random name!
And so, the incredibly handsome puppy of the future was saddled with the name Dabai.
To teach the dog his name, Lin Feng took out some dog treats. He would call out "Dabai" and then reward him with a snack. After a few repetitions, Dabai knew he was being called even without the treat.
Once all this was done, Lin Feng sat on the couch, lost in thought. He now had four babies, one cat, and one dog to look after.
Zhang Yuxi glanced at the time. "Honey, I'm going to check on the babies."
Lin Feng stood up. "Okay, let's go."
Dabai trotted behind them. After opening the door to the nursery, Lin Feng held onto his collar to prevent him from doing anything too rash upon seeing the babies.
The quadruplets hadn't woken up yet, but judging by the way Fourth Baby was stirring, it wouldn't be long now.
Feifei woke up, stretched lazily, yawned, and let out a meow. It walked over to Dabai and brushed its tail against him, as if greeting its new friend. Dabai lowered his head to sniff Feifei and wagged his tail. It seemed they were both in a good mood.
Dabai walked up to the cribs and looked at the babies with Zhang Yuxi.
She whispered, "Good boy, you mustn't hurt them, understand?"
Finally, Fourth Baby woke up. Zhang Yuxi picked him up and spoke to him as she got him dressed. "Baby, look what we have here."
The moment Fourth Baby saw Dabai, all his drowsiness vanished. "Doggie, big doggie!"
His shout was heard by a dozing Second Baby, who woke up instantly.
Dabai let out two barks, waking up the other babies. They all called out excitedly for the "doggie." As Lin Feng dressed them, he told them the dog's name was Dabai.
[Ding!]
[For allowing the babies to interact with the new pet, fulfilling your responsibility as a father!]
[Awarded the "Pet Trainer" skill!]
[Pet Trainer: This skill allows pets to understand and follow their owner's commands, providing better protection for infants and toddlers.]
[Additionally, possessing this skill enables the owner to sense the cleanliness of the pet at any time!]
[Skill Permissions: Pets have a self-preservation instinct and will refuse to comply with an owner's commands that would endanger them.]
Hearing the system's voice, Lin Feng's hands, which were dressing Third Baby, paused for a moment.
The babies were all thrilled to see Dabai. Dabai, wearing a small bodysuit, sat squatting to one side, watching them with his mouth open in a doggy grin.
"Let's go."
He took the babies to the play area, where their attention was entirely focused on Dabai. Dabai liked the babies too, and the most obvious difference in his behavior was that he wasn't nearly as boisterous with them as he was with Lin Feng.
"I'm going to make dinner," Lin Feng told Zhang Yuxi before heading to the kitchen.
Zhang Yuxi played with the babies in the play area while Dabai sat nearby, wagging his tail. Feifei, meanwhile, was sprawled on the sofa, yawning as it watched the scene unfold.
Lin Feng had a general understanding of the new skill but hadn't used it yet. It wasn't until the middle of the night, after helping the babies use the potty, that he realized he was out of diapers. The new pack was on the sofa downstairs.
Lin Feng glanced at Dabai beside him. Activating the [Pet Trainer] skill, he spoke softly to the dog. "Dabai, go downstairs to the sofa where we were sitting. There's a bag on it. Can you bring it up for me, please?"
Dabai seemed to understand. He trotted downstairs and then came trotting right back up, carrying a sealed bag of diapers in his mouth.
Lin Feng praised him, "What a good dog! Well done!"
Dabai understood the praise and wagged his tail happily.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng went downstairs to make breakfast. Dabai followed him, but Lin Feng told him, "You don't need to follow me. Go check on the babies and let me know if they're awake."
Just as Lin Feng finished preparing breakfast, he saw Dabai come downstairs and bark twice at him.
"Are the babies awake?"
Lin Feng turned down the heat and went upstairs to check. Sure enough, Fourth Baby was awake. He happened to see the exact moment Fourth Baby tumbled out of his crib. Lin Feng rushed over to pick him up and praised Dabai. "Thanks, Dabai!"
As for Feifei, it was just now waking up.
With Dabai around, Feifei's daily task had been reduced to just sleeping alongside the babies.
Today was shaping up to be another very ordinary day. The only difference was that Lin Feng now had a little helper in Dabai. He could ask Dabai to watch the babies for a moment if he needed to grab something, and it would work.
For example, the sun was bright today, so Lin Feng took the babies to play in the gazebo. The memory of them all climbing out together was still fresh in his mind.
"Dabai, I'm going to the restroom. Watch the babies for me; don't let them out of the gazebo."
In the restroom, Lin Feng pulled up the security camera feed for the yard. Indeed, he saw a familiar scene unfolding. Having learned his lesson from last time, he had built a small platform around the gazebo. Even if the babies climbed out, they would land on the platform instead of falling onto the grass.
Just as Fourth Baby was about to climb over the edge, Dabai immediately stood up and walked into the gazebo. Without a sound, he nudged Fourth Baby, who was sticking his little butt in the air, back down.
But Fourth Baby wasn't one to be trifled with; he even tried to use Dabai as a stepping stool. But how could that work?
Dabai then noticed Second Baby getting ready to stick her little butt up as well, so he went over and nudged her back down too. Second Baby giggled, thinking Dabai was just playing with her.
When Lin Feng returned, he was very pleased to see all the babies still safely inside the gazebo, all thanks to Dabai.
As for Feifei, who was basking in the sun nearby, Lin Feng just shook his head and chuckled. Looks like this fat cat's position in the family is in jeopardy.
On many occasions, Dabai was a huge help right when Lin Feng needed him. Even Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but marvel.
"They always say Border Collies are smart, and it's really true!" she said, patting Dabai's head. "I have to thank Dabai for helping me find my keys today..."
The keys had fallen into a crevice in the sofa. She and Lin Feng had spent ages looking for them to no avail. At Lin Feng's command, Dabai found them in an instant.
"We rescued Dabai, but in return, we got a little helper in our lives. It was so worth it!"
Lin Feng thought it was more than worth it.
