DOGHOUSE D

Maro, I just came to clean.

Come out for a bit.

When Shin was here, he always left the guests to me to focus on the dogs.

When will your owner grow up, Uruson?

Maro, you're fighting again…

Maro, No!

What are you doing, Shin? Shake it off!

I won't.

You have to do it now. Shake it off, Shin!

It's always the humans' fault, not the dogs.

Listen, Shin, absolutely no corporal punishment.

(DOG SIGNAL)

(Things I Want To Protect)

DIRECTOR, FUJIWARA SEIJI

Before deciding to give up on a problem dog, please consult with our training center.

You seem to be doing well, Shin.

He was injured then, that's why he is wearing a wristband…

That wound was pretty big. It's a miracle that it didn't affect the nerves.

It was this long.

Really…

At that time, I was assigned to pick up a dog for grooming.

So I witnessed it.

The dog backed into a corner of the cage, still snarling.

Fujiwara approached it without hesitation.

Are you going to keep this up, Maro?

Your intimidation doesn't scare me at all.

Bite as much as you like.

Just bite.

DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR, DO NOT IMITATE

It moved away.

Very good, do you understand now?

That's good…

What's good?

Knowing the dog is dangerous,

yet I didn't concentrate when interacting with it. It's my fault.

The dog is not to blame,

the wrong is always on humans.

No corporal punishment,

absolutely not.

Why did you hit it?

I didn't want you to lose your wrist.

It doesn't matter! It's my fault, it's me…

Shinichiro!

Ritsu, take him to the hospital, he's bleeding too much.

Wait, old man.

I haven't finished yet, I can't accept it.

Shinichiro!

Why did you hit it? Why?

Based on the Animal Welfare and Management legislation,

when the governor determines that an animal has harmed human life, body, property,

or is deemed likely to cause harm,

he can order the owner of the animal to carry out the following measure,

that is, animal euthanasia.

In reality, there are very few cases of euthanasia for dogs that bite.

But for the owners who brought their dogs here out of desperation,

how will they react when they find out their dog bit off the dog trainer's hand?

It won't save your hand or Maro.

And all my training policies so far will be null.

Enough of this, go to the hospital.

Shinichiro did not accept this.

However, a month later, Maro gave up its biting habit

and returned happily to its family.

The family was overjoyed and very grateful to Mr. Fujiwara.

Seeing this, Shinichiro's feelings became even more complicated.

What is right? What is real?

FUJIWARA DOG TRAINING CENTER

Expert in correcting aggressive dogs. Feel at ease to leave your dogs to us.

Corporal punishment might be employed. But we will definitely correct their behavior.

What is it?

Corporal punishment is wrong indeed.

No matter how grandiose the talk,

the pain and fear after being hit will stay with the dog forever.

Isn't this what you told me?

Isn't it better than getting killed?

Heartbreak is also a kind of death.

I said if it can't behave and stop barking, we have to send it away.

Bear.

I thought you understood dogs' feelings.

You overestimated me.

Enough of that, take these out to post.

Expert in correcting aggressive dogs. Feel at ease to leave your dogs to us. Corporal punishment might be employed. But we will definitely correct their behavior.

Maro's owner said on social media

that the dog he had intended to give up

no longer bites people after coming to the training center and returned home.

People have been coming for consultations since yesterday.

Look, we got all these emails yesterday.

There's just no way to reply to them all.

Old man, you…

We can't afford to be slow like before anymore.

Stop just talking grandiosely, get ready mentally.

I will give you a raise.

I will be your instructor from now on. My name is Fujiwara.

Step back, into the cage.

You did right.

It's always the humans' fault, not the dogs.

Listen, Shin, absolutely no corporal punishment.

I don't want money.

I just want dogs…

You can't save dogs without money.

The rent, electricity bills, water bills, gas money,

and your salary, who do you think is paying for all this?

It seems you're not fit for this job.

If you think making money off dogs is filthy,

then go to the park and play dog training with your friends.

He…

I trusted him for so many years.

Uruson.

Bring this to him.

Take care of yourself.

Go.

Be good, go.

FUJIWARA DOG TRAINING CENTER

That night, when I went outside to close up the shop…

Sorry, please help me dry Uruson.

Shin… Shinichiro!

I don't know if it's rain or tears on his face,

but when I saw the flyer in Uruson's mouth, I knew they had a falling out.

Shinichiro lost his father again.

But unlike before, this time he was betrayed by the person he trusted.

So…

So, Mr. Niwa turned to you for help, rented your place, couldn't pay rent, and muddled through?

-Muddled through? -Muddled through?

His family, Bear, and Mr. Fujiwara.

It's normal that these things upset him.

But isn't his goal to become a dog trainer?

If his teacher goes astray,

Mr. Niwa can take the lead in pursuing his ideal, right?

But he gave up halfway.

He evades when encountering past sorrows.

That is not the Mr. Niwa I admire.

He changed my life.

If Mr. Niwa is not cool anymore, I will be very upset.

Take care of Sanju for me.

Where are you going?

I am going to his teacher.

-What? -What?

DOG GROOMING, FONTE What?

What?

Wait a minute, Miyu!

PROUD DOG TRAINING CENTER. TO NIWA SHINICHIRO. FUJIWARA DOG TRAINING CENTER. FUJIWARA SEIJI.

Shin.

Didn't I… lock the door?

The landlady's privilege.

Let me tell you, Shinichiro.

What?

Breaking your student's heart, and corporally punishing dogs, you're evil.

Why didn't Mr. Niwa just say it outright?

He can only speak his mind in front of the owner.

This is it.

Where Mr. Niwa used to work.

Excuse…

No, he won't hear me.

This volume equals at least 30 Sanju.

Is there another entrance?

There!

You…

What are you doing here?

You're concerned about your teacher and can't work. So I came to scold him. Let me go!

What? It's none of your business.

Your unstable condition bothers me.

No!

I've told you you can't do this!

What a pain.

You can't do this!

No!

If you want to go home, learn quickly. Get in.

Geez.

Why did you come? Homesick?

Are you still doing that?

Doing what?

I'm already used to hitting dogs and being bitten by them.

Have a cup of tea before you leave.

A customer brought me some delicious Uji tea…

You betrayed yourself.

Say what you will.

By the way, take care of that dog I referred to you.

I don't take such cases anymore.

Because they don't make much money?

That's right.

Mr. Niwa!

You said they would behave after being hit!

So behave like I tell you!

Stop the corporal punishment!

Your training should not be like this!

Mr. Niwa!

Stop!

Please stop.

Promise me that you won't hit them anymore!

Shin, it doesn't hurt at all when you hit me.

I won't change.

Hello.

My customer is here.

One is going home today.

Ryu, come out.

Your mom and dad are here to pick you up.

Down.

Heel.

Sit.

Good job, you did great.

It's so well-behaved.

Right?

But six months ago, this one bit its family until they bled.

Alright, let's go.

Your mom and dad are waiting.

Ryu.

That's…

We thought we'd have to put it down after being rejected by many dog trainers.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for saving Ryu.

Don't thank me. Ryu did all the hard work.

Go home and reward it.

What is this?

-Take care. -This person hits dogs.

-Obey your mom and dad. -He says it's for the money.

But…

Don't come back, okay?

There…

I only see a sense of happiness.

The applied formulas are completely different.

But don't they give the same answer?

Aren't both of them putting in great effort to save the dogs?

Listen, there's no right answer to a dog trainer's actions.

The right answer is to understand and respect the dog's feelings.

Alright, time to work.

All my training policies so far will be null and void.

Enough of that.

Isn't it better than getting killed?

Even so, what you are doing is still wrong.

Back then, I was not mature enough.

If I could stop you then, you wouldn't distort your beliefs.

I want to be a dog trainer who doesn't use corporal punishment.

I want to save all dogs.

And then I'll drive you out of business.

Just wait.

Mr. Niwa.

Don't come back again.

Is he doing this to make him independent?

He entrusted his dream to Mr. Niwa

and save those dogs about to be abandoned by himself.

You should go back too.

If others see you here, you will get bullied on the internet.

Ouch…

He knows…

Take care of Shin.

I look forward to being forced to close down.

Mr. Niwa lost his father

and his beloved dog, left his family.

Now he lost his teacher too.

But he…

We're here to pick you up, Shin.

Have you made yourself clear this time?

Yes.

He still has friends.

Where's Miyu?

Ah.

Miyu, why are you crying?

Did Shinichiro do something to you?

I… I didn't!

I don't know either.

What?

What is the right thing?

What are you asking?

Helping is good, hitting is evil.

Is he really a devilish dog trainer?

I don't know.

I don't want to use my hands to hit dogs, I just want to hug them with them.

Ow.

What are you doing…

Correct.

What?

You… smiled.

I didn't smile!

Now that you've found your goal,

it's time to learn the techniques to move towards it.

Eh?

Do you want to be an assistant for life?

Don't you want to become a dog trainer?

Miyu.

It seems I've become Mr. Niwa's new partner.

I can't just follow him around.

One day, I want to stand tall and equal to Mr. Niwa.

Okay.

I will become a dog trainer.

TODAY'S DOG TRAINING CLASS

(Reason for keeping)

Ouch…

Mr. Niwa, come clean it up.

Remember to praise the pet owners.

Smile occasionally.

Used dishes should go in the sink.

Don't stack files upwards.

Sort the receipts by month.

Naggy.

You thought he was naggy, didn't you?

From the very beginning, I found it unbelievable.

You don't like hiring people or being hired.

Why did you bring Miyu back?

Be… Because…

Because of what?

I can't say.

Brown and curly hair, I can't help but…

How could I make such a mistake?

What mistake?

REASON. FOLLOW-UP.

Miss Izumi, sorry to keep you waiting.

Miyu.

Mr. Samura, what hairstyle do you want?

Perm, curlier.

And please dye my hair brown.

My boss likes brown curly hair.

He knows it!

How terrifying.
