Lu Li felt guilty because she had noticed something was off about the woman but hadn't given it a second thought. Perhaps that had been the woman's last chance to ask for help.
Maybe if she had just asked a few more questions, she could have saved a life.
No one tried to comfort Lu Li. Instead, they let her vent, waiting until she had calmed down and wiped her tears away before she began to recount what had happened.
"We got in touch through a social media platform. She posted about the dog's situation, and since I absolutely love guard dogs, my heart went out to Dan Tuo.

After she got to know Dan Tuo and confirmed she would adopt him, the original owner deleted all her posts on the platform. The account was still there, but it showed she hadn't logged in since.
