Dean was laying on the bedroom floor watching Becky brush her hair. Becky turned to face Dean.

Becky-''You ready to go, buddy?''

Dean stood up and wagged his tail.

Becky-''Alright.''

Becky & Dean walked to the door, Becky put her coat on and they left the house. Becky & Dean walked to a resturant a few blocks away and they saw Charlotte, Bayley and Sasha sitting at a table outside the place.

Becky-''Ready to meet the girls, Dean?''

Dean-''Well, I already know them. But sure.''

They walked up to the table.

Becky-''Hey, girls.''

Charlotte, Bayley & Sasha-''Hey!''

Becky hugged each of them and sat down.

Bayley-''Is this the good looking Dean we heard about?''

Becky-''He sure is.''

Dean wagged his tail as Bayley gently scratched his ear.

Sasha-''So, did you find his owners yet?''

Becky-''Not yet. And no one has put up anything about a missing dog online.''

Bayley-''Maybe his owners went away for the holidays and he somehow got out of his home.''

Dean-''Good guess, Bayley.''

Charlotte-''Still doesn't explain how he got into your house.''

Sasha-''Yeah, you said you woke up and he was on your bed, right?''

Becky-''Yeah. He was there and Ambrose was gone.''

Bayley-''Still no word from Ambrose?''

Becky-''No.''

Becky said sadly.

Becky-''I just hope he's ok. Wherever he is.''

Dean looked down to the ground.

Dean-''This is harder than I thought it was going to be.''

Sasha-''So, why did you name the dog Dean?''

Becky-''I didn't. His collar said 'Dean' when I found him.''

Charlotte-''That's weird if you ask me.''

Becky-''Hey, it's a common name.''

Sasha-''Not for a dog.''

Becky-''Well, I can't change it. His owner named him 'Dean' and he loves it.''

Becky smiled at Dean.

Becky-''You love your name, don't you?''

Dean puts his front paws on Becky's lap, lifted himself up and licked Becky's face.

Charlotte-''Seems like he loves you too.''

Becky laughed as Dean lowered himself down and rested his head on her lap.

Sasha-''He seems really attached to you.''

Bayley-''Maybe he misses his owner too much. Or Becky looks like his owner.''

Charlotte-''Maybe.''

Becky-''You sound skeptical.''

Charlotte-''Something about this feels strange.''

Becky-''What do you mean?''

Charlotte-''I'm not even sure. But I'll figure it out.''

Dean-''Good luck. Roman couldn't figure it out.''
