"Pick me! Pick me, please! See how cute I am! I know I'm not as small as the other puppies, but I'm well behaved and super gentle, I swear! Please pick me!" The puppy barked, running around the small pen he was being kept in.
Those humans just wouldn't pick him, they always chose the other puppies. At twelve weeks old he was getting pretty big, and he would only get bigger, seeing as he was a German Shepherd, a pretty big breed of dog. His fur was a golden brown colour, and he had a large black patch on his back, as well as a black muzzle. Typical GSD markings, but his eyes were bright green, not the usual blue or brown colour.
Young kids were starting to have trouble holding the puppy, and he was getting worried. The other puppies were always super tiny and they were bought within days. What if he got too big and no one would ever buy him? What would happen then? There's no way he'd stay at the pet shop, they only sold puppies and other baby animals. He knew that it was only a matter of time before he was fully grown and considered an adult, then he'd probably never find a home with a loving human. The other puppies always told him that no human ever bought an old dog.
So he had to do his best to look cute, he had to bark and pant and wag his tail, he had to look happy and playful, he had to do his best to be absolutely irresistible to anyone who entered that door. One day his efforts would pay off, they had to.
Luckily, that day came sooner rather than later.
