On day at Shelter 17 a girl, maybe only 2 or 3 years older than Dot came into the shelter with a pet carrier.
"Hey looks like a new dog is coming in today," Lucky said as the Pound Puppies watched at the gate.
But this girl wasn't here to put her pet in the pound for adoption. She was there to drop her pet off for daily day camp. Same as what Dot dropped Lucky off for everyday.
Olaf came to see the girl at the pound with his boss.
"Hi. Um I'm Madison. My mom called you last week,"
"You must be here to drop off your puppy for day care," Olaf said looking at his folder calendar.
The girl set down the carrier and opened it to pick up the dog. It was a black Newfoundland puppy. He was no bigger than Patches, Cupcake, and Rebound. He had floppy ears and brown eyes, and a deep blue collar and a circular light green tag.
"Yes. His name is Lightning," the Madison said.
"Alright. Just give him to me and I'll put him in with the other dogs," Olaf said.
"Alright. He will be well cared for here, won't he?," Madison asked, unsure.
"He will. And I'm sure he'll make new friends. We have other dogs that are here for the same reason," Olaf told her nicely.
He spoke to her the same way a mother would like to hear someone speaking to their child.
"Okay then," the owner said and put her puppy into Olaf's waiting arms.
Madison gave Lightning a scratch on his head.
"Be good boy. I'll pick you up before you know. Try to make some friends," Madison said.
Lightning closed his eyes and smiled with his mouth half open and wagging his tail happily. He barked twice happily in response. His bark was high due to being a puppy. Madison turned her head around to face him and waved bye as she walked away. Olaf turned to his boss.
"Aw! Isn't he cute Mr. McLeish?,"
"I don't think he's very cute. He'd just like any other mutt that comes in here. Put him in with the others," Leonard said angrily.
Lightning growled angrily.
Olaf turned back to the puppy.
"Sorry puppy. I've gotta put with the others," Olaf said sympathetically.
He walked over to the gate the Pound Puppies, Patches, Cupcake, and Rebound were watching from and put Lightning down inside and closed the gate.
