Dog Pound

2

"Hallo?"

"You mean hello? Did you get your wisdom teeth pulled or something?"

"Now is that how you treat a customer?"

"I knew it was you anyways. No worries."

"Whatevs, bro."

"But seriously what kind of word is 'hallo'?"

"My momma's from Germany. I learned it for her sake. Along with profanities but that's not the point."

"Oh my..."

"Mhm. So I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"The dogs in your facility... most are about to be sent to the kill shelter?"

"Unfortunately."

"Alright. My Uncle's are planning on each getting one. My parents are sharing one, and I get one."

"That's a lot of dogs."

"Yeah, yeah. Which dogs are most likely to be sent to the kill shelter?"

"You're gonna have to come to the pound sometime to find out."

"Dammit. I'm literally booked all week."

"Seriously? I didn't take you as the social type."

"HAHAHAHA I'm not. I do volunteer work, I tutor, I babysit. I have a very full life. Even if I have no friends."

"Hm. Can I be your friend? It just so happens I'm lonely as well."

"Yeah we'll see. So far you're a perv."

"Best perv out there."

"You sound proud."

"I am."
