"pet?"

"Yes." The doctor's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Pet companion therapy is a very common method in psychology now."

Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui glanced at each other. They never thought of raising pets.Will this work?

"Listening to your description, although I can't know the specific situation of the child very clearly, I have a general understanding. The 7-year-old child is unwilling to communicate with others, tends to be violent, often has nightmares, and even appears self-abuse. These are typical manifestations of psychological trauma." The psychologist patiently introduced, "At this time, you might as well try to raise him a pet. It is best to have a spirituality, like a kitten or puppy. Sometimes, animals The company of children will guide children to deal with their emotions and problems correctly, which is a very good treatment method."

Keeping pets... The couple have never had the idea of ​​keeping pets, nor have they had any experience in taking care of small animals.But in any case, they are unwilling to let go of a glimmer of hope.

The couple looked at each other, and finally Jiang Shaohui nodded: "Okay, thank you doctor. We know, we will try it."

In the afternoon of the weekend, Jiang Shaohui drove Tang Daihe and Jiang Ye to the largest pet shop in the area.On the way, Jiang Ye asked curiously, "Mom, why do you want to keep a dog all of a sudden?"

"This is a suggestion from a psychiatrist. We plan to try it for a few months to see if my brother's condition improves."

Jiang Ye nodded. He had always wanted a puppy.But my mother doesn't like pets who always lose fluffy hair, and this wish has not been fulfilled.

When they arrived at the pet shop, Tang Daihe and Jiang Ye went to the cage to watch the dog.Tang Daihe patted Jiang Ye's shoulder and said, "Choose a puppy."

Jiang Ye said hello.Since he was chosen for Tang Li as a friend, he couldn't help but be extra cautious.Sometimes touch the dog's nose, and sometimes smell the dog's paws.He chose carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind which puppy to take home.

When he was in trouble, the little golden retriever in the cage in one corner suddenly whimpered.The puppy waved its paws childishly, and met Jiang Ye's eyes in an instant.

"Hey, little guy," Jiang Ye squatted next to it, stretched out his fingers to touch the little golden retriever's paws happily, and teased it with an onomatopoeia, "Wow!"

The puppy also wagged its tail happily: "Wow!"

The little golden retriever is lively and cute, and he is a well-known "big warm boy" in the dog world.It is very friendly and has a good temper.Jiang Ye played with the little golden retriever for a while, and suddenly felt that he was very destined, so he fell in love with it.The couple looked at it for a while, and were quite satisfied in the end, so they took the dog through the procedures of vaccination and neutering, and then made an appointment to bring the dog home in a few days.

On the way home, Tang Daihe smiled and said, "Jiang Ye, give the puppy a name."

Jiang Ye shook his head and said only: "This is Tang Li's dog, he should name it." After speaking, he smiled happily: "When I go back today, I will start to study how to take good care of the dog!"

"Okay." Tang Daihe patted Jiang Ye's head in satisfaction.

The puppy returned home three days later.Encouraged by his parents, Jiang Ye hugged the puppy and knocked on the door of Tang Li's room nervously.

Tang Li hid under the quilt without making a sound, and there was a half-eaten rice porridge on the bedside table.

Jiang Ye hesitated for a while, put the puppy on the floor, and said hello, "Hi, Tang Li."

The puffed up quilt didn't move, Jiang Ye glanced at the pup who was thumping forward, cleared his throat and said, "Cough...Tang Li, do you want to see who's coming?"

"Wang!"

The puppy let out a crisp bark at the right time.

Jiang Ye stood at the door for a long time, the puppy kept circling around Jiang Ye's feet, wagging its tail, but Tang Li still didn't respond, which made Jiang Ye feel a little embarrassed and his back stiffened.

How can I get Tang Li to poke his head out to see this lively and cute little guy?

After thinking about it, Jiang Ye finally squatted down and gave the puppy a "go" command. The little golden retriever immediately swayed its golden fluffy tail, and staggered happily towards Tang Li's bedside.

Tang Li's bed was a bit high, and the little golden retriever couldn't reach it.But his quilt was dragged on the ground for a long time, and the puppy cleverly grabbed the quilt and struggled to get on the bed, and then thumped into the warm bed.

Finally, in less than half a minute, Tang Li groaned indistinctly from the bed, and the bed jumped up. The next second, Tang Li got a head out of the bed, and half of a dog's head was exposed by the corner of the bed. Sticking out his tongue with a happy look.

Jiang Ye swallowed subconsciously, and said nervously, "Tang Li, this is a new member of our family. You...you can give him a name."

Tang Li didn't move, and looked at Jiang Ye with empty eyes that showed no emotion.

But the little dog was not discouraged, still happily biting the sleeve of the little master Tang Li and pulling it out, wanting to play with him.But Tang Li just pushed the dog's head away with his palm, silently rejecting it.

After repeating this several times, the puppy finally felt the little master's alienation, its tail drooped, and it jumped out of the bed dejectedly, and ran to Jiang Ye's feet, its eyes full of doubts.

Jiang Ye was a little embarrassed for a while, but when he raised his head again, Tang Li had already hidden himself under the heavy quilt again, and there was no movement in sight.

Jiang Ye looked back helplessly, Tang Daihe smiled wryly, and beckoned him to come out.Jiang Ye immediately picked up the puppy, turned around and gently closed Tang Li's door, and then returned to the living room as if fleeing.

At dinner time, the family of three ate with solemn faces, while the little golden retriever happily gorged on delicious dog food.The door of Tang Li's room was still closed, and there was no movement from inside.Jiang Ye frowned, put down the bowl and asked, "...Dad, what should I do?"

Jiang Shaohui glanced at Jiang Ye, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth. He couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he just said, "Take your time."

Tang Daihe wiped his mouth with a paper towel: "Let's talk to him again when I bring the meal in later. In a few days, move the puppy's nest into Tang Li's room, and let the two of them try to get along alone. "

Tang Daihe's method really worked.

After the kennel moved into Tang Li's room, the puppy slept with the child every day.When Tang Li had nightmares again at night and began to talk in his sleep, the little dog would drag him to bed, biting Tang Li's quilt and whimpering.It wasn't until Tang Li calmed down again that the puppy slept peacefully at the child's feet.In the morning, he licked Tang Li awake again with his big warm tongue.

In this way, finally after half a month, Tang Li spoke to the puppy for the first time.

"who are you?"

Tang Li stared seriously at the golden retriever's black eyes, but the little golden retriever couldn't understand the little master's language, so he just happily wagged his tail at Tang Li.

After not speaking for a long time, Tang Li found that his voice was a little hoarse out of control.Tang Li cleared his throat with difficulty, and changed his position to sit next to the puppy. The puppy still came up to rub him enthusiastically, but this time, Tang Li didn't push it away.

The puppy rubbed against Tang Li for a while, then went to Tang Li's desk to grab a white lamb puppet, looked at Tang Li expectantly, and wagged its tail at him.

"Do you like this?"

Tang Li reached out to take the doll. The mistress of the house bought him a lot of toys, but he was not interested, so he never touched them.

The dog kept wagging its tail, looking very excited.Tang Li's face suddenly sank, and he made a throwing motion with his palm.The lamb slammed into the wall, and finally fell dejectedly to the floor.

The dog's emotions did not decrease but increased, jumped out happily, picked up the toy from the ground, and brought it back to Tang Li as if asking for credit.

"..."

Tang Li's emotions gradually calmed down, and the eyes that looked at the puppy gradually regained clarity.

One month later, on a rest day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Daihe finished washing the dishes, changed his apron and waved for the puppy.The puppy rubbed against Tang Daihe's palm affectionately. She smiled and was about to put the puppy on a leash and go out for a walk.Tang Li's bedroom door opened suddenly.

Tang Daihe was a little surprised, his first reaction was that Tang Li wanted to go to the bathroom.He turned around to make way for him.Unexpectedly, Tang Li didn't move, but stared intently at the puppy and spoke.

For the first time, Tang Li offered his own ideas.

"Can I go out with it?"

Tang Daihe almost doubted his own ears, but it was clearly Tang Li's immature voice.Jiang Ye was watching TV in the living room, and he turned his head involuntarily and turned down the volume of the TV.

"Uh," Tang Daihe panicked for a moment, and subconsciously let go of the leash, "Of course, of course."

The puppy broke free from the shackles, walked to Tang Li's side tentatively, rubbed the little master's trouser legs a few times, made a whimpering sound, and had curious little eyes, very cute.

Tang Li's eyes gradually softened, he knelt down and stroked the puppy's furry head.

Because she didn't go out for a long time, she put all Tang Li's shoes into the shoe cabinet.This time, Tang Daihe didn't care about tidiness at all. He opened the shoe cabinet and rummaged through Tang Li's shoes. He took out a pile of shoes but didn't have time to put them away: "Ah, come on, Tang Li, let's sit here and change our shoes, and then we can change our shoes together. Go out and walk the dog."

Tang Li hummed, picked up the shoes and sat aside and began to wear them by himself.Tang Daihe brushed his temple hair behind his ears and stared at Tang Li intently.Jiang Ye put down the TV remote control, got up and walked to the shoe cabinet, and packed up the messy shoes.Tang Daihe took a step back before realizing it, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Excuse me. Jiang Ye, I'll take Tang Li out for a walk with the dog first."

Jiang Ye nodded and grinned at the two of them: "Okay."

Tang Daihe led Tang Li, Tang Li led the dog leash, and the two of them went out together with one dog.Jiang Ye sat on the sofa and told Jiang Shaohui the news immediately.
