Maddie s POV:
I was squirming, trying to get away, but it was no use. The kid that was carrying me to my cage had a death grip on me like he was afraid I was going to rip his face off.
Here you go little girl, he said dropping me in a cage that only could be seen out of through one side.
He walked out of the kennels and I just covered my face in my paws and wept until I heard a boys voice coming from behind me.
Hey, are you okay? the voice asked with a concerned voice.
No, I replied still weeping, I shouldn t be here.
The boy was able to reposition his cage so we could see each other, and I realized that he was a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. He was a beautiful dog, especially for his breed, but I couldn t let him know that yet, I had to play it cool and stop crying first.
I m Charlie, he told me, and before you say anything, I know I m a King Charles spaniel and my name is Charlie.
This caused me to giggle until I told him, I m Maddie, nice to meet you Charlie.
Same, so what are you here for?
Oh, some rotten little waste of a wolf decided to fight me and when her owner came over, she decided to lie and play being mortally hurt so he brought me here. You?
Charlie looked down at the floor and sighed, I was born and lived on the streets. I had no problem with it, my mom used to take care of me and my sisters and my dad could always bring back food for us.
What happened?
Charlie was already trying his best to hold back a storm of tears. However, a few managed to trickle out, one day, I was the oldest in my litter, so I was able to go and look for food too. I was walking back to where my family was, but when I turned the corner, I saw that my mom and sisters in the back of a dog catchers van with my dad chasing after them. I tried to catch up, but my dad had already jumped on the back of the van as it sped off.
He then let all of the tears flow making me feel horrible for making him relive such a tragic event in his life.
Charlie, I m so sorry, I wouldn t have asked if I had known. I m sorry.
Its fine Maddie, actually, it felt good letting my emotions flow like that.
So, do you know how we can get out of here?
Actually, I ve been trying to do exactly that and all I needed was a smart second to help me with it.
Well, I don t mean to brag, but I am pretty smart, I said in a goofy voice.
Charlie laughed and told me, alrighty then, my plan is that we pretend to be hurt, like the wolf that landed you here. Then we get the kid that brought you here s attention and when he opens the cage, we bolt.
Why does this need to be done with two pups?
As you can see, I m not very large for a dog, so I need a larger dog, that s you, to hit the release stitch on the front desk which will open the front door setting you and I free.
My eyes lit up at the sound of this plan and I said, That s actually a really good plan.
So you in?
Yeah, I m in.
Okay, let s do it.
