The lawyer looked at his employer in a daze, slightly sighing to express his regret for the loss of a life, and he said softly, "Madam, I previously advised you that putting a collar and leash on your beloved dog wouldn't make it unhappy..."
The lawyer had warned this mother and son pair before coming here, more than once.
This place is not their country; people here are unfamiliar with this specific breed of small ornamental dog.
In a backward and ignorant society, anything that's not human can be viewed as a form of food. In some extreme environments, even humans might be considered as a choice for food. Thus, putting a leash on a dog isn't restricting its freedom; it's an expression of care.
But this lady disagreed with such a suggestion, believing that loving a dog means giving it freedom; only a free dog is a happy dog. She even requested the lawyer to regard it as a human, not as a dog.
Now, these issues are resolved, and the lawyer almost wanted to laugh.
