Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 362: The Golden Bowl

The champion showcase officially began under the glare of stage lights and live cameras.

The winner of the Scent Tracking competition was a Springer Spaniel. It stood tall in front of the Special Bites booth, soaking up the applause and attention.

The host held a glittering gold dog bowl filled with the highly sought-after Special Bites. He spoke enthusiastically into the microphone.

"Look at this, everyone! Our champion warrior has the honor of enjoying Special Bites dog food. It is currently the hardest product to find on the market and the ultimate reward for top performance!"

While everyone was focused on the center stage, Nancy was twenty meters away at her neglected booth. She picked up a bag of Happy Bites and sliced it open with a pair of scissors.

The moment the krill and algae blend hit the air, a rich, pure scent of the deep ocean burst out. To a dog, this aroma was like an invisible, magical hand reaching out. It hooked right onto the Springer Spaniel’s nose.

The champion dog, which had been daintily tasting the Special Bites, suddenly froze. Its nose began to twitch uncontrollably. A second later, it looked like its soul had been snatched by the scent. It turned around without hesitation and bolted toward Nancy’s booth like a little cannonball.

The Springer Spaniel started circling the open bag of Happy Bites, whining urgently. It completely abandoned the golden bowl of Special Bites behind it.

"Please! Just one bite! Just one! I'll trade you my championship medal, okay?"

The crowd erupted into an uproar. The dog's owner gasped and pushed through the throng, looking completely lost. The live cameras caught the dramatic turn and immediately pivoted from the luxury display to Nancy in her remote corner.

Curious guests swarmed the area, quickly surrounding the small booth until it was packed tight. Every eye was on Nancy and her Happy Bites.

"What the hell is in that food? It even lured the champion over!"

"It ignored the Special Bites to run for this... Happy Bites? I've never even heard of this brand!"

"I know that girl. Isn't she the one who talks to animals? This has to be a staged performance with the owner."

Amid the skepticism, countless looks of curiosity and suspicion landed on Nancy. The owner of the Springer Spaniel overheard the accusations of a setup and his face darkened.

"You'd better have proof before you talk!" he snapped.

"My Sparky is a certified show dog. He’s picky enough to turn his nose up at imported steak if it’s the wrong cut. He doesn't just eat anything."

He glared at the skeptics, his voice sharp. "Besides, the results were only announced ten minutes ago. No one knew who the winner would be before that. Was she supposed to bribe every single dog in the competition?"

Before he even finished speaking, the venue became even more chaotic as the sound of dozens of paws hit the floor. As if hearing a signal only they understood, almost every dog in the building from elegant Poodles and goofy Huskies to short-legged Corgis and powerful German Shepherds suddenly went wild.

Barking and howling filled the air. The dogs dragged their owners toward the Happy Bites booth, straining their leashes like they were in a tug-of-war match.

The owners were dragged along, looking baffled.

"What is going on? I was just about to get a guy's number and my dog dragged me away!"

"I don't know! I just bought this coffee and this brat knocked it all over my new pants!"

"Is this a joke? My dog usually hates walking, but today he's acting like he’s on a mission. What kind of food is this?"

"Just give me a bag! My dog isn't moving until he gets some."

Barking and shouting merged into a mess, but the Happy Bites booth was the only place thriving. Nancy raised her voice over the noise, her tone light and amused.

"As you can see, no matter how much talent I have, I can't possibly command every dog in this room at once."

She kept order while making sure not to miss a sale. "Don't panic! Everyone, please stay in line. We have a special event price today. Just scan the code right here!"

She was more than happy to take their money.

Then, the most dramatic moment of all happened. The champion Springer Spaniel actually ran back to the stage and returned with its prize in its mouth. To emphasize the luxury of the event, the organizers had designed the championship medal to look like an exquisite golden bowl.
