On the boat ride, Salty was staring at Bondo real steady while Slick noticed and walked over "Something wrong? He asked causing Salty to look at his former boyfriend approaching.

"I just don't understand ye, who choose that landlubber over me" He looked at him as Slick sat beside him. "Well, for starters, he had a pretty cute accent" He stated romantically. "I bet to differ" Salty said laid down and sighed then Slick started to feel all guilty so his licked his cheek making him look up "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was hurting you" Slick said.

The seadog just laid his head back down as Slick turned and slowly walked back but stopped "Maybe you should go see Lucky, he's got a new device called the LCD" He said looking back before sitting on his butt.

Bondo was being patted on the head by one of his owners "Are you sure this is what you want, boy? asked Ted with a broken voice. Bongo put his front legs up on the arm-rest and sadly whimpered as he licked his hand then got down.

The Basenji was now between two walk cause he was the type who loves action but one the other hand, he hated for his owners to be without a dog cause they seemed very lonely. He sighed then walked to Slick and sat down.

"Well, I suppose this is it" Bongo tried not to break out in tears after breathing deeply. "I know it's the hardest thing to do, but think of this as a reunion with Lucky and his gang" Slick said cheering him up.

"I wish it was that easy" He sighed lookingat him and just couldn't bare the pain anymore so he cried into Slick's chest. The Schnauzer mix wasn't greedy or nothing, he was just following his heart is all and it lead him on the right path.

Upon entering, Elm Street, Downtown, the two security guards slowed down at the docks and put the vehicle in park before shutting it off and both got up from their seats. Arnold and his friend got in front of their dog, kneeled down and the white guy put two of his hands on him 'I've not verry good at saying goodbye" he tried to hold back his tears but cried on his friend's shoulder "We just wanna say we love you" He patting his friend's back.

Bongo whimpered but Slick nuzzled under his chin followed by a lick on the cheek and in return, Bongo snuggled up to his chest. "I can tell that he loves you very much" He stated smiling and both guards gave Bongo a group hug.

Arnold wished that he could go with him but his family is back on the island. Anyways the three dogs hopped out of the boat. Henry got back in the drivers seat, Ted said to give him a minute.

"Okay" He said and Bongo went up to then laid down on the edge while Ted carefully held his face steady "You know I love you" Bongo barked softly "but when if you'll leaving, me and Henry will make time to come and visit for or you can visit us".

Slick walked by Bongo's side and barked happily clueing Ted that he'll promise to take care of him. He looked into his eyes and a tear went down his cheek as he had a visional flashback of all the great times he and his brother had.

Back into reality "Okay, you can go now" he sniffed cause this was especially harder on him due to him spending more time. Henry turned to his brother and gone over as well "We're gonna miss you very much" He said hugging Bongo, Ted join in, both were crying.

"Let's go, the boss is probably worried" Henry said before getting back in the driver's seat. Ted gave him a final pat on the head before heading next to his brother. "You all set? He said.

"Whatever" He said in depression after sighing. There's now time to waste, we have to get Salty here to my son" Slick said but Bondo paused him saying that Lucky is your son.

"Sure, didn't I tell you? He asked before chuckling and the three walked out of the docks. Ted looked back and looked at the three walk out "Goodbye' He said. 'Henry didn't understand that his brother loved their dog so much, maybe it was that he wanted one his whole life.

"Don't worry Ted, we'll visit him again" He said cheering him up as he kept his eyes on his driving. All was not lost though cause at least they still have Yakov, Sevtlana's puppy and of course they would have to ask her first.

Bongo looked back one last time before continuing with the others.

This chapter could've been longer but was kind of a heartbreaker for me cause my neighborhood had two dogs but sadly, one passed away last May, I was crying then I saw things on the positive side the next day.

Salty's love will be revealed in the neck chapter as well as where Niblet had gone running off too. The chapter after that will start with Chip's interest with Patches.
