Yesterday, a big event happened in the village, which was that a big wolf dog belonging to Mr. Li, a member of the Five Guarantees household, was stolen. This is Mr. Li’s treasure because he has no children and lives alone.
A few years ago, I entrusted someone to buy him a big wolf dog in the city, which has since become Mr. Li’s “iron fan”. No matter where Grandpa Li goes, he will take him with him.
This big wolf dog is also very smart. Every household visits to beg for food at mealtime because it is sensible and obedient, and the villagers are not afraid of it. Instead, they treat it well.
But this time, it disappeared. Through the surveillance footage of Mr. Li’s neighbor’s house, it was seen that a young man had stolen this big wolf dog while riding a motorcycle. First, he gave it something to eat, then it collapsed and was stolen by him in a bag.
Many villagers also don’t quite understand that this dog is basically the lifeblood of Mr. Li, and these dog thieves are really too unscrupulous.
And this dog is usually very aggressive when strangers approach. How come it’s scared when it sees a dog thief and doesn’t make any noise? Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t have let the thief succeed if they heard it.
In fact, in my hometown, it is common for my dog to be stolen or stolen in the second half of each year. This is the third time a dog has been stolen this year. Last year, my big white dog was also stolen by them in broad daylight, which is really despicable.
Why are usually fierce local dogs afraid of dog thieves? Is it really like what the villagers say: even the most ferocious dog is afraid of a thief? Today, let me talk to you about the reasons behind it.
Firstly, it can be confirmed that the vast majority of dogs are indeed afraid of thieves, and they are not only afraid of thieves, but also afraid of people like butchers.
There is a butcher in my village. My family used to keep a big yellow dog, and every time I saw it, I would bark and run away with my tail between my legs. Every time this butcher comes to my house, this big yellow dog dares not stay at home and will run out to hide. It didn’t dare to come back until he left.
One important reason why dogs are afraid of people like butchers and thieves is because their sense of smell is very sensitive. The ancestors of dogs are wolves, which evolved from wolves. Even after being domesticated by humans for many years, they still retain their keen sense of hearing, sight, and smell.
Especially in rural areas, local dogs have a great advantage in this regard. They can perceive changes in the surrounding environment through various senses and make corresponding responses.
These characteristics of dogs enable them to distinguish between acquaintances and strangers in a timely manner. Once a stranger approaches, it will bark, warning them not to approach, and also reminding the owner that a stranger is approaching. And that’s also why many rural people like to keep dogs, because they are good helpers for guarding their homes and homes.
Everyone also knows that people like butchers and dog thieves, who slaughter livestock for a long time, naturally have some bloody smell on their bodies. Even if we humans cannot detect it, dogs have a sense of smell hundreds of times stronger than us humans, so it is still easy to detect.
Another point is that dogs also have a disadvantage, which is that they tend to bully others. Although dogs are usually fierce, it is also because they know that their owners are at home. Once their owners are not at home, dogs are actually very timid, especially when encountering people like butchers and dog thieves, they are full of fear towards them, and some even have only the chance to escape.
Of course, besides this reason, there is also one important thing, which is that thieves are very cunning. They often use some means to conceal their whereabouts, such as wearing black clothes, wearing masks, etc. These behaviors make dog thieves appear more mysterious and dangerous, making dogs feel scared.
In addition, dog thieves usually use tools such as anesthesia guns, toxic bait, wire harnesses, etc. when stealing dogs. They do not get too close to the dog, but throw the bait out for them to pick up and eat. Previously, my dog was stolen by them for feeding toxic bait.
Or if you see a dog, you can shoot it with a poisoned crossbow from afar. After a while, the dog will be poisoned and fall to the ground, losing its combat effectiveness. They will quickly pick it up, put it in a bag, and ride away on a bike.
Another point is that most dogs in rural areas are kept free range, and they also like to run around. If they are not near their own homes, dogs will have less courage. Once caught by a thief, it’s basically inevitable.
However, the statement that “even the most ferocious dog is afraid of a thief” is not entirely correct. Although the methods of stealing a dog thief are cunning and may make dogs feel scared, not all dogs are afraid of stealing a dog thief.
Now in the second half of the year, dog thieves in rural areas are becoming rampant again. If you have a dog at home, remember to take good care of your dog, preferably by enclosing it in the yard and installing surveillance cameras at your doorstep. This can also have a good deterrent effect.
