Lucky Gets Sick-Chapter 1

"ACHOOOO!"

The sneeze echoed throughout Shelter 17, threatening to collapse the cleverly hidden underground tunnels that made up the Pound Puppies branch. Lucky, the leader of said branch, was curled up on the floor, no pun intended, sick as a dog.

Cookie, one of the only females in the organization, approached Lucky and put a paw on his forehead.

"I think you have a fever, honey." She concluded.

Lucky groaned and rolled over. He knew he was ill, yet didn't want to miss out on their latest mission. What was a dog to do?

"It's fine, Cookie." Lucky responded. "I'll tough it out. Besides, the others need me to lead the mission."

But Cookie thought otherwise. She brought Luck to his feet and walked him home.

Lucky walked into his puphouse and lay down.

"What about the mission? Who will lead while I'm gone?" Lucky asked.

"You let me worry about that and focus on getting better." Cookie responded.

She sang Lucky a lullaby, and the mixed breed was soon fast asleep.
