"Dad can you tell me what love is"asked the small puppy looking at his father who was in his mid 20' older dog chuckled and looked at his son "now where did you hear that word from"He asked the puppy laying on his front paw."Well I heard you and mommy said it all the time and I was just wondering"he said looking into his fathers eyes and smiled father looked his child he was only one year old and already very observant "well little Lucky love is..."He started and then tried to think of what to say next."Well love is something that is really hard to explain but it happens when you have very strong feelings for someone"He finished petting Lucky's fur "what type of strong feelings will I have them"He asked making his father laugh again.

"Well Lucky these feeling cannot be explain but they appear when you really care about someone and I think you will have that one day"The older dog said getting up and was nighttime the sun has set leaving a Vail of shadows which the sounds of crickets can be heard and there was a gentle silence in the and his Father Slick was out looking at the sights they tired to spend as much time as they could was the youngest of four boys and fifteen girls so it was very hard to get his father attention so he valued ever moment he had with father was very important to him he loved his mother too but his father was his role model he wanted to be just like him one day and wanted to spend everyday with him.

"Well Sport its getting very late I think we should turn in" the older male said gently picking up the smaller dog with his maw and started to walk to his owners house but stopped when he felt struggling."No dad please can we stay out here more...please I'm not tired yet" The younger pup said and Slick gave him a sort of serious face "Lucky we've been out here for hours and I think your mom will kill me if you got hurt"He said but the smaller dog still protested."Please dad just 10 more minutes I won't go far pretty please"Lucky said giving his father a sad puppy look which never worked but Slick thought why not let him think it did this one time."oh okay fine but don't wonder off to far stay where I can see you it's very dark"He said putting the puppy back down which he yelped happily and ran off happily which gave him a shout from his always liked adventure even though he's never left the front if his house before he just liked to explore things he has seen a hundred times before.

Lucky was a mixture of many breeds of dogs so he was just referred as a fur is a peachish color with a purple color on his owner were called the Herrimans but he didn't like to be around them very much they made him uncomfortable even though they loved him just as much as they love his siblings but he just didn't feel right around also was the odd one out when it came to his siblings since he was the youngest and since he was he couldn't keep up with the others so he got left behind alot to either be with his mother or didn't mind he just wished sometimes that he had a friend that he can truly connect too but he wasn't thinking about that now.

As he ran around he found a firefly flying around him his light as bright as a the playful pup he was he decided to go chase it almost ignoring what his father said to him he didn't leave the yard but his father couldn't see knew he would get in trouble but what would chasing a firefly really do to firefly laid on the ground a Lucky went into a pouching position like a lion and tried to grabbed it but slid a little and gently brushed up against a fence he was told that there was a new family that moved here recently and kinda wanted to see them but realized how far away he was."oh no I went to far I'm gonna get in trouble said a panicked Lucky and as he sat up he saw two eyes staring at him through a decency big hole in the about his panic he walked over to the pair of eyes which recoiled and hid which Lucky with a impressive jump hoped the fence and looked at the other puppy who was too scared to look at him and hid in the darkness.

"Hi new neighbor whats your name"Lucky said as friendly as ever but the dog didn't move."My name is Lucky Smarts and don't be scared I just wanna talk"He said lifting his paw and the smaller dog turned around seeing the bright smile on the others face and slowly walked out the shadows which showed his brown chocolate colored fur and reluctantly shook his paw."My...my name is Ra...Ralph"the pup said quickly unsure what to do "well Ralph..."Lucky said lifting his other paw and putting on Ralph's head which made him flinch "I think we could be friends"
