Many people in the village liked to keep dogs, either for guarding their houses or for watching over the fruit and vegetable gardens, so almost all the puppies at Zhao Ershen's house had been reserved. Some families couldn't wait for the puppies to grow and had already taken one, leaving only two puppies in the nest. Xia Dabao noticed that these puppies were growing exceptionally fast, almost changing every day, which is why she came over to observe them all the time.
However, when Xia Dabao reached the Kennel, she was shocked to find that there was only one little white dog left, her family's little black dog was gone.
"Ershen, where is Little Grass?" Xia Dabao hurriedly asked Zhao Ershen.
"Isn't it inside?" Zhao Ershen asked, "I saw it this morning."
Xia Dabao looked around the Kennel carefully again, she checked every corner where a puppy might hide, but she didn't see Little Grass and said to Zhao Ershen again, "No, it's really not there."
