Dogs are our most loyal partners, whether in the past or now, many people regard dogs as part of their families, they not only bear the responsibility of caring for the home, but also carry people's emotional sustenance. Unfortunately, in the present, some people discard dogs at will for the sake of profit, resulting in frequent incidents of stray dogs hurting people in some areas, so many people have misunderstood dogs.
Dogs are human companions
In the past, dogs were people's favorite animals, especially in rural areas, dogs are almost all animals in every family, and each dog has endless stories, they spend time from birth to death in their master's home, and their stories are often passed on by word of mouth by people in every family, my grandfather has such a dog, it is loyal, brave, ordinary short life but there are many extraordinary stories.
Grandpa was born before liberation, and when he was young, he lived in the mountains inland, when the countryside was pure agriculture and animal husbandry, and grandpa's family also raised a greyhound to assist in grazing.
Speaking of the origin of this greyhound, it also has a certain legend, one winter, when Grandpa went up the mountain to hunt, he found a large wild boar fighting with a wild dog with a cub, less than a few rounds, the big wild boar bit the wild dog, fortunately, the external bow and arrow shot the wild boar, rescued the puppy from under the mouth of the wild boar, this puppy is all gray, slender, looks like a small wolf, but also makes a barking sound, Grandpa suspects that it is a wolf dog, such a dog is generally a hybrid of wolves and dogs in the wild, It was difficult to figure out in temperament, it was more difficult to tame, Grandpa wanted to ignore it, but the little greyhound followed him like a fart, forcing Grandpa to bring it home.
greyhound
The little greyhound grows very fast, with slender limbs, a wide face and a large mouth, four legs and a wide walk, a short neck, and has a great advantage in fighting with other dogs, a good hunting dog figure, the only thing that is lacking is that it will wolf, when the moon is brighter, a wolf moo is always startling The neighbors around them get up in the middle of the night to check the livestock, and the dogs in the village are all flocking to the scene, bustling in search of the traces of wolves. The wolves outside the village cried out in doubt, presumably suspecting that a wolf cub was trapped in the village. So the wolves outside the village were mooing, the village dogs were barking incessantly, and the noisy people couldn't sleep peacefully all night.
As the little greyhound grew older, it became silent, rarely making wolf mooing, rarely barking, and having a very withdrawn temperament, neither huddled with the dogs, but always kept a distance from the wolves. Sometimes, other dogs want to trouble him, but they are also beaten away by it, because it is relatively large, and even the head of the village dog group is more jealous of it, so it has become a kind of idle alternative. In addition to being unsociable, the little greyhound has a special hobby, that is, hunting, almost every night it has to wander in the wild for half a night, it has been alone, and it is not afraid of wolves, leopards and other beasts in the wild, in the first days, it often comes back with scales, sometimes the wound is very scary, as if it is scratched by the leopard, Grandpa tried to stop it several times and failed, fortunately let it go. As the days passed, I don't know when it began, its wounds on its body became less and less, and it also began to bring back some pheasant and other prey to the home, which made Grandpa's family very surprised, to know that in that era of lack of materials, meat is rare and precious.
Grey dog
After that, the greyhound gradually stood on its heels in the wild, the body became stronger and stronger, don't look at it at night to go out wandering in the middle of the night, but during the day it is still conscientious, early in the morning, Grandpa will drive the sheep to the nearby mountains to graze, at this time, the greyhound will always walk in the front, as if stepping on a good point in advance, it can always find the most abundant grassland, over time, the greyhound has replaced the old sheep as the leader of the flock. As soon as it reached the meadow, the greyhound would climb up the highest hill and lie quietly in the sun, occasionally raising its head to look around, sometimes making a low bark at the valley; sometimes it would sneak out like an off-string arrow and disappear into the grass, and soon there would be a cacophony of howling dogs barking, but soon it would trot back to the hillside like a victorious general to bask in the sun.
Greyhound is an excellent hunting dog, but also a dutiful guard, every time he goes out to graze, he will take care of the sheep without distraction, even if there are pheasants flying in front of his eyes, or wild rabbits jumping out of the grass, he will not leave the flock to chase. With its help, Grandpa's flock grew larger and larger, with little loss.

One winter, heavy snow, the weather was very cold, the roads in the mountains were sealed, Grandpa's mother suddenly fell ill, the barefoot doctor in the village was helpless due to the lack of medicinal materials, Grandpa was very anxious, he decided to go to the town ten miles away to buy medicine, however, the mountain road was steep and slippery due to snow cover, and it was difficult to pass. In order to get out of the mountain as soon as possible, Grandpa chose to come out of a canyon outside the village, this canyon is washed out by heavy rain, the canyon is deep, but the canyon is flat, and the distance from the town is closer, but this canyon is also very dangerous, the distance from the top of the mountain to the canyon is short, but more steep, more dangerous is that this is a corridor, the canyon is connected to the Bitter Water River, is the only way for the wolves in the mountains to drink water, if you are unlucky, it is likely to encounter the wolves.
Young and vigorous grandfather at this time also can not take care of much, in order to prevent the wolf from stealing sheep to eat, he tied the greyhound to the mouth of the sheep pen, with a bundle of ropes, pinned to the wood knife in his waist and went out, he fixed the rope to the tree on the mountain, waddled a little along the wolf road to the bottom of the valley, fortunately, he did not meet the wolf, quickly walked out of the valley bottom, to the town to buy medicinal materials, he hurried to the house, waiting until the mouth of the canyon, the sky has darkened, Grandpa was more anxious, he wanted to spend the night, but worried about his mother's condition, He went into the canyon with a fierce heart, trotted all the way back, saw that it was about to arrive, a turn, Grandpa was dumbfounded, he was horrified to find that there was a wolf pack in front of him, and it was not an ordinary wolf pack, there were twenty or thirty of them, a piece of black pressure, and in an instant Grandpa felt that he was dizzy, and when he calmed down, he felt that his scalp was numb, and the palm of his hand holding the chai knife was full of cold sweat.
Wolves
What to do? After a while, Grandpa's heart suddenly calmed down, he recalled, when it was more and more dangerous, he was more and more calm in his heart, he thought quickly about how to get out, but there was no way to think about it, he began to worry again, his legs were a little weak, but he knew that he could never retreat, once he escaped, he would be dead, just at this time, several wolves began to lean forward, Grandpa was more anxious, his hands were more tightly grasped with the knife, and several wolves stopped after seeing it, and seemed to be a little afraid. Grandpa reacted suddenly, he jerked out a wood knife, took off the iron pot containing water, while banging, while shouting behind him, "Fight the wolf, the wolves are all here, come on", and then he plucked up enough courage to run forward, the wolves were startled, and immediately fled to the side, giving way to a road, Grandpa hurriedly ran outside, and after a while, the wolves found that they were deceived, and hurriedly chased back, Grandpa could only run away quickly at this time, hoping to reach the hillside with the rope as soon as possible. However, the wolves came too quickly, Grandpa slipped under his feet, and one toe fell to the ground, and when he got up, the wolf with the head was already in front of him, and Grandpa's mind was blank, thinking that this was bad.
Canine Wolf Wars
Suddenly, a black shadow leaped behind him, a wolf with a head turned over, and between the teeth of the dog, the wolf screamed miserably and fled back to the wolf pack, and the other wolves also stopped abruptly, and the black shadow slowly retreated to Grandpa's body. It was his own greyhound, and Grandpa was pleasantly surprised to see that the greyhound roared in a low voice and confronted the wolves, who seemed to know it and were jealous of it, and did not rush up for a while. Grandpa hurriedly got up, drew out a wooden knife and tapped the iron pot, and slowly retreated with the greyhound until he reached the edge of the rope, a short few hundred meters as if they had walked thousands of meters. When they reached the edge of the rope, Grandpa quickly grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up along the wolf path, at this time the wolves were anxious, several big wolves quickly surrounded them, and the greyhounds were not willing to show weakness, and attacked everywhere, firmly guarding the bottom of the valley. Grandpa quickly climbed up, he only heard the noise of the valley floor, and hurried back to the village to gather the village people and dogs to support.
Wolfhounds
When they arrived, the dogs rushed into the valley first, and the valley was even more chaotic, and several young adults descended the rope to the bottom of the valley and found that the wolf pack had left, leaving a few dead dogs and wolves. Grandpa found that the greyhound was dying, with wolf hair still in its mouth and scaly wounds all over its body.
Later, Grandpa buried it on the same hillside where it was first discovered, where it was found, with its mother and the freedom it loved.
