They kept walking past a few more dogs, grouped together mostly by breed. There were all types, and Jack had to pause to tickle the heads of a few pugs who looked so much like Roxy.
Then, further down the way…
“Oh Jack! Look! Isn’t this one precious?” Katelynn gasped, peering into the cage of a little bulldog. “Hi cutie!” she called toward it, seeing it wag its little bottom and come towards her, huge tongue licking her fingers. “You’re so cute! Yes you are!”
“Ah, this little lady.” Tony said as he leaned against the wall as the little dog sniffed and licked at Katelynn’s fingers excitedly. “She’s been here a few days now.” he wasn’t about to tell them that if she wasn’t picked up soon she would meet the same fate as far too many animals did.
“Aw.” Jack said quietly as he reached down, and pet the puppy’s back. “She is precious…”
“So what kind of place do you live in?” Tony asked.
“Same apartment as me, Uncle Tony.”
“Oh well then, in good walking distance of the park, near here for the vet, and big enough for how big she’s going to get…” Tony mused.
