"No, actually it's a red German Shepard-what? What? No, I don't know where it came from, my pets saved it!" Penny spoke loudly into the phone.
"Could you describe the creature?" the man on the other line asked.
"It's actually got a tag, with the name 'Lightning', he's got a yellow lightning Bolt painted on the side, oh, and wait-there's also a 95 painted on its back-right leg." She said, lifting Lightning's leg as he was lying on her bed.
"Okay, mam, we'll get right to it." The man assured Penny. On the phone, Penny heard a voice say: "We're looking for a client who likes painting his poodles!" two men chuckled. "Don't worry mam; we'll call as soon as we find someone."
Penny sighed and hung up. "Oh, Bolt. I'm not sure I can take care of another dog that could actually be someone else's." she said, sitting down and patting Bolt.
Bolt whimpered comfortingly.
"Oh, Bolt." Penny hugged her dog.
Both suddenly heard a weak growl. They turned their heads to the side.
Through Penny's ears, she heard another growl, but through Bolt's ears, he heard: "Oww…why am I so sore?"
Bolt ran toward Lightning and barked excitedly.
"He's awake." Penny said.
"Hey! Um, mornin'!" Bolt said awkwardly.
Lightning turned his head to see Bolt eye-to-eye. And he saw a dog, not a car like he expected to see. He sighed in hopelessness. "That's it. I give up. When is this nightmare going to end?"
"Hey, hey don't say that. We'll find your person." Bolt assured.
"Okay, how many times do I have to tell you, I don't belong here! I don't know what kind of crazy fairy tale I'm in and whatever it is, I wanna get out of it!" Lightning ranted.
Penny cut the canines' chat by reaching for Lightning suddenly and carrying him in her arms. "Okay, Lightning. I'd better get a picture of you and send post it all over town." She said, cradling the dog and carrying him out, smiling.
"Hey, hey! What? Who is this? Where are you taking me?!" Lightning panicked.
"No, no! She's my person- she won't do anything to you!" Bolt quickly stepped forward.
"Hey! Get me out of here!!" Lightning shifted his head (which seemed to be the only thing he could move properly) from side to side and struggled hard to get loose.
"Whoa! Not so rowdy." Penny giggled.
Lightning though, was not as positive. "Let go of me!" he said.
And with all his strength, he bit Penny's arm.
"Aah!" Penny screamed with pain, dropping Lightning on the ground.
Penny was bleeding. Real bad. She fell on her knees.
Lightning was sprawled on the ground. He was looking at Penny in a way that he realized that he had done something horribly wrong.
Bolt instantly turned to Lightning. "You!!" he said furiously. He charged toward him.
