My Tibetan guide Qiangba brought a Tibetan mastiff from the mountain village and tied it to the wooden stake of the tent with a thin iron chain.

This dog is completely black, with a golden muzzle, ear shells, tail tip and four paws. Its fur is shiny, as if it were coated with a layer of glaze. It has a mouth full of sharp canine teeth and a pair of piercing eyes. Its neck is swollen.

The chest is thick and the legs are bulging with tendons. He is tall and powerful, as big as a calf. He is truly the best dog in the world.

"His name is Manhuang. He is a wild soul dog that has failed several soul crossings. He has killed three lambs." Qiangba said with concern, "I hope it won't cause trouble for you."

"I have heard about the custom of Tibetan Mastiffs in Tibetan areas.

The Tibetan Mastiff is a large fierce dog unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It dares to deal with wolves alone. Two Tibetan Mastiffs can hunt adult mountain leopards together. They are world-famous excellent hunting dogs.

In Tibetan legends, the Tibetan Mastiff is a god of war who was demoted to the human world because of his murderous nature and violated the laws of heaven. Therefore, the Tibetan Mastiff has a violent and cruel temperament and a strong murderous aura. It must be 7749 years old after its birth.

During the day, he was raised in the same pen as a nursing lamb; sheep are gentle, quiet, and obedient animals. The purpose of living together with the 49-day-old Tibetan Mastiff and the lamb was to weaken the murderous intention and use warmth.

The gentle sheep nature; the overly bloody animal nature of the Zhongdian Tibetan Mastiff.

This is the so-called Tibetan Mastiff to save the soul.

After seven, seven, forty and nine days, if the Tibetan Mastiff and the lamb live in harmony, it will be considered a successful soul transfer and is called a family soul dog.

Tibetan Mastiffs that have successfully transferred their souls retain their brave and powerful nature, but also have the virtue of obedience and patience. They can be trained into shepherd dogs that are loyal to their duties, or they can be trained into all-powerful hunting dogs.

Not all Tibetan Mastiffs can withstand the test of soul transfer and become domestic soul dogs. In fact, only 50% of Tibetan Mastiffs can successfully transfer souls. About half of Tibetan Mastiffs cannot pass the soul transfer test, and some are in the same pen as lambs.

After being raised in captivity, it is like water and fire are incompatible. They bark and howl at the lamb day and night, and cannot calm down at all. What's more, they will bite the lamb to death in the pen. This is of course a failure to transfer the soul.

Became the so-called wild soul dog.

They have bad tempers and are difficult to train. They not only harm livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs, but sometimes even the owners who raise them.

In the local area, Tibetan mastiffs that successfully cross their souls are extremely valuable. A one-year-old domestic soul dog can be sold for 5,000 yuan.

However, Tibetan mastiffs that failed to cross the soul are treated as scraps. No matter how good the quality of the wild soul dog is, you can't sell it for a price. If you give it a few dozen yuan, the owner will let you take it away. It is no more expensive than buying a vegetable dog.

How many.

I have been engaged in animal scientific research in the field for a long time, and the observation station tent is set up in a deserted ravine, not far from the national border.

When working in the field, safety is indeed a big issue.

The best way is to raise a dog, which can be useful for guarding my home, hunting in the mountains, and tracking the wild animals I am interested in.

My Tibetan guide Qiangba said to me several times: "You need a Tibetan Mastiff so much. Oh, the Tibetan Mastiff is the elite among dogs. You will definitely be satisfied." Of course I know that the Tibetan Mastiff is good, but unfortunately, I am a working-class person.

, the monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan is just enough to support the family, and the only option is to buy the Wild Soul Tibetan Mastiff, which failed to cross the soul.

I only spent a few tens of yuan to get a high-quality Tibetan mastiff. Even though it was a wild soul Tibetan mastiff that failed to cross the soul, I was very happy.

The Tibetan Mastiff is indeed a world-famous breed of dog, even better than I imagined.

Measured by dog ??standards, Man Huang's IQ can be said to be outstanding.

I fed it twice, and it got to know me as its owner. When I called its name, it would happily run to me.

What satisfies me the most is that it never barks randomly at night. When the owl is catching mice, it passes over its head, and it stops quietly to watch.

Whenever it howls loudly, it means danger is approaching.

One night, when I just got into bed, I suddenly heard Manhuang roar violently. I rushed out of the tent and saw that in the woods outside the fence, there was a pair of animal eyes shaking in the darkness like green lanterns. Based on experience,

It’s not difficult to tell that the visitor is evil! It’s either a Bengal tiger or a snow leopard.

Jianba fired two shots into the air to drive away the danger.

Since I got Manhuang, the field observation station has been safe and sound. I no longer have insomnia at night and sleep very soundly. Not only that, Manhuang has become my right-hand assistant at work.

Indeed, it is tall and powerful, an excellent hunting dog, and a very effective assistant for me in field expeditions.

However, its ferocity and viciousness often make me shudder.

After weighing the pros and cons again and again, I decided to deal with Man Huang.

I said to Qiangba: "Take it away, it is too cruel, I don't want to see it again." "Okay then." Qiangba said, "It is too dangerous to raise a Tibetan Mastiff whose soul has failed.

Next Sunday, I will go back to the village to bring food, so I will take him away. It seems that the only option is to send him to the zoo and let him stay in an iron cage for the rest of his life. "Just the day before I was to take Man Huang away.

It was Saturday afternoon that something unexpected happened, which changed Man Huang's fate.

This morning, I took Manhuang to the foothills of Ricuka Mountain to look for golden eagle nests among the cliffs.

I climbed on the cliff like an ape for a long time, and I didn't even see the shadow of the golden eagle.

I was very disappointed and lay down on a crooked pine tree to rest.

At this moment, suddenly, the bleating sound of sheep came from the rock on my left. It was very sad and scary.
