In a rather familiar spot, miles away from where Penny's house…
"Oohh…what happened?" a female dog whispered to herself. She felt strangely cold and sore. Like she had never before.
It was so dark where she was. Too hard to make out anything but a silhouette.
She got up, well, at least she tried to get up. Because while trying to stand she caught vision of two blue tube-like objects appearing in front of her.
In surprise, she fell back down.
"What?" she said weakly.
While sprawled, she looked at herself and didn't recognize anything. Then she drifted off to sleep…
……
"Good morning, Silverlake!" she heard a voice exclaim.
"Huh?" she said, perking her head up.
"Good morning, Mr. Leandro, our favorite adopter. What can we are interested in today?" a man asked.
Mr. Leandro looked around. "Well, I think I want to get a chinchilla. Poor little things…do you know how they are being treated in South Africa?" he said.
The man paused. "Umm…no. But we have one, it's been here for years…" and the rest were inaudible.
Back in one of the cages, the female dog was still trying to get up. She did successfully on one paw and was attempting a second.
She wanted to worry about standing before worrying about what happened.
Soon, the man and Leandro come back. "I'm sorry for any disappointments, sir." The man apologized.
"It's all right." He said. "But, when I come back, I want-" he suddenly stopped.
The dog-girl (who had just gotten up on her two front legs), was spotted by Leandro.
He walked slowly towards her.
"That…" he began "…that is the most beautiful beagle I've ever seen!"
She whimpered cutely.
"And it's blue…my favorite color. That's it! I'm going to take this one." He said.
He took out of the cage.
"What should I name you?" he thought.
She barked. "I already have a name! It's Sally!"
He lifted Sally up. "Oh my word, that is the most intricate fur pattern I have ever seen!" he referred to the tattoo-like lines on the beagle's back feet.
He opened the cage and picked her up.
Sally, though, was not in the mood for being a pet. So she made a jump for the door.
