In Germany, Dogs Live More Exquisitely Than People! A Shocking Observation By A Shoveller

01 Dog is the real Visa Master
Before I came to Germany, I thought it was the realm of serious philosophy – until my Eleven opened the new world with a wet nose.
Who would have thought that the black-uniformed staff of the visa center would break the ice for a border shepherd in an instant? That day Eleven just stepped out of his backpack, the whole hall suddenly rang out one after another “Wie suß!” (So cute!) . The visa officer with a cold face actually took out his mobile phone and asked if he could take a photo.
Even more magical is the grandma at the corner bakery. We’ve known each other for the past three years, since we started buying breakfast with me in November, and now we get freshly baked pet cookies every time – in her words: “Good children deserve to be rewarded, and your master should learn how to choose a breast harness!” (Later I understood the meaning of this sentence…)
02 When the law becomes everyday
- Dog-walking tax forms are on time than pay slips:
Each dog has an ID card plus health insurance, and the city hall can even check out 11 walking routes – after all, adult dogs are legally required to exercise outdoors for an hour twice a day.
- The civilized code in the collar:
The day I banned prismatic collars, my designer DNA shivered. The original Germans have already studied: the equipment that compresses the trachea will trigger a fine of 25,000 euros! This also makes us rethink – is the new Y chest strap under development, should add spine pressure monitoring function?
- Four hours alone ban:
Once a meeting ran out of time, and when he ran home, he saw a neighbor feeding Eleven snacks: “Don’t worry, I’m timing it for you!” It turns out that in Germany, leaving a dog alone for more than four hours can be reported as abuse.
03 Those moments that let my eyes heat up
I have seen a Golden Retriever in a wheelchair playing Frisbee in a Munich park with his owner holding a special transmitter beside him. A guide dog carrying a shopping basket in a supermarket; Not to mention all the dog subway seats…
Most striking was the sign in the window of the pet store: “They are not our pets, they are our furry family.” This reminds me of the samples that were returned from the production line – judged to be “potentially abrasive” just because the lining line was 0.5mm too long.
04 Written at the end: Reflections from the Rhine to the Yangtze River
Every time we change Eleven into our self-developed pneumothorax harness, we will think of the German customer’s sentence: “Good design should make the dog forget what he is wearing.”
Perhaps the real civilization is hidden in the supermarket aunt reminding me that “the reflective strip of the chest strap should be changed” nagging, in the Christmas gift prepared by the city Hall for stray dogs, and in the persistence of our workshop for the 1cm adjustment buckle repeatedly tested.
