The next morning Winter woke up bright and early like she always does. She got out of bad grogily and started to walk towards the entrance of the alley where she was greeted by 5 big dogs. She squealed and fell over.

"Wha- Wait! How did you all get in here?!,"

"Are you okay sweetie?," Cookie asked her.

Winter stood up.

Yes. Yes I'm fine. That doesn't answer my question though. How in the world did you all get in here? I'm not that much of a heavy sleeper. You all shouldn't have been able to get in here without me hearing,"

Before any of the Pound Puppies could answer a small Yorkie puppy ran towards them and knocked Squirt out of the way.

"Winter, I ran away from my friend and my humans let me out and I was mean to Mel and Jack keeps pulling on my ears," he said in a squeaky voice.

"OK. And why are you coming to me with all this?," Winter said dully.

"Because you're the most helpful puppy i know and I need a lot of help right now and my needs are important!,"

"Okay apologize to your friend. Get back to your humans. Forget about Mel and ignore Jack, he's just a baby human, he'll grow out of thinking you're a toy," Winter said calmly.

"Winter no! I want affection from people,"

"Well. I don't,"

"You must though,"

"Smores,"

"I am not taking no for an answer!,"

Winter angrily stomped a paw and a pigeon stooped down.

"You get a human right now!," Smores yelled.

Then the pigeon tackled him and chased him away.

"Sorry about that. You were saying?," Winter said turning her attention back to the Pound Puppies.

"Well we're the Pound Puppies and we help puppies find their perfect person," Lucky explained.

Winter sighed.

"Let me guess. You want to find my perfect person right? Give it your best shot. But I really doubt you'll find anyone who would even dare think about thinking about thinking about wanting to adopting me," Winter said.

"Why do you think that? There's a pup for every person and a person for every pup," Lucky said.

"Well others beside you have tried to get me adopted and failed, miserable. And by others I mean any dog shelter around town," Winter said.

"Well they probably weren't trying hard enough," Squirt said confidently approaching Winter.

"I'm a passive aggressive stray, part wild animal puppy. And therefore I'm feared by any human that's ever seen me," Winter said slightly annoyed.

"I'm sure that's not true. Come on," Cookie said.

Winter sighed.

"This won't end well," Winter said to herself shaking her head and following the big dog.
