Zuma walked over to a small marble slab on the edge of the base square.

It said 'Chase 2010-2018'

She put her paw on it and spoke.

- Hi. We're going on a little vacation, I won't be here for a while. I hope you don't get angry.

She heard an excited scream behind her.

Mommy come on! Daddy says we can go! A small gray-and-white puppy with golden eyes shouted.

- I'm going Chase, I'm going. She said walking towards him.
