Vacation: Day 4

Inside the Ark, there was an animal shelter. It was somewhere between spacious and cramped. The building has all the necessary facilities: a training center, a playroom, and an examination room.

Every dog has a spotless, well-maintained cage.

The leader of the group of dogs was a dog named Max. He was a healthy-looking dog with a muscular build and a soft fur coat.

Ahwooo!

The puppies yipped in quick succession.

Ruff Ruff!

Arf Arf Arf!

The dogs bark and yip amongst one another, holding constant canine communication. 

The sound of the door opening alerted the dogs and made their ears perk. They could hear someone running toward the shelter. In an instant, all the dogs race to their cages.

A cute dog girl entered the room, and a joyful expression was on her face. It was Biscuit, and she was the dog trainer.

"Everyone, it's time to eat!"

"Since you were good this morning, I prepared something special for you. It's the special kibble fresh from Royal Road!" Biscuit exclaimed, smiling brightly.

Biscuit started pouring Max's food, "Max, I know chicken breast is your favorite flavor, so here you are."

Biscuit started pouring Lily's food, "Lily, you said you like beef flavor, right?"

Biscuit continues apportioning the kibble according to each dog's preference.

"Everyone can come out now!"

The dogs all bound out of their cages and stood before their bowls.

A cute, irate expression appeared on Biscuit's face as she reprimands the dogs, "Not yet! You have to wait until I say it's okay."

A second passes, and a smile appears on Biscuit's face. 

"Go ahead."

The sounds of chomping and crunching could be heard as the dogs enjoyed their kibble.

"Such smart doggies," Biscuit says.

"Does it taste good?" Biscuit asked.

A thought appeared in Biscuit's head as she stared at the kibble Max was eating. Max noticed the young woman's gaze and barked.

Biscuit started blushing and was embarrassed, "No, you go ahead... It's okay."

"Well... Maybe a bite..." Biscuit couldn't resist the temptation.

"Omnomnom," Biscuit's eyes sparkle as she starts to feast on the kibble. She couldn't help but think that it was delicious to her.

Max started whining, causing Biscuit to stop her feasting, "Sorry... Huh?"

Max whined, making Biscuit sport a cute frown, "Is your stomach not feeling well? Hold on, I will grab some medicine."

Biscuit starts walking away as Max keeps his gaze fixated on her. Max waited briefly before barking as the puppies barked back. There was a crash, alerting Biscuit.

"What the... guys, wait! What are you...!"

The moment Biscuit opened the door, Max signals to the other dogs. Without hesitation, the entire pack makes a mad dash for the door. Biscuit couldn't react as all the dogs trampled her.

Biscuit quickly got up and chased after the dogs. Biscuit pulled out her whistle and said, "Guys, stop!"

Biscuit was blowing her whistle frantically as she chased after the runaway dogs. None of them seemed to listen to her and continued running.
