As you struggle to come up with a solution you turn to Keith and ask, “Dude I don’t see any option other than leaving do you?”
Keith gives you as if you say ‘really dude you screwed with these people’s lives and now you want to just abandon them’.
“Okay first for a dog you are really good at conveying facial expressions and second I understand where you are coming from, but you need to remember that I still don’t know how to work the keys. If I start just using the keys on them randomly I could turn them into something much worse like dog shit.” Even under the fur you could tell that Keith was blushing and saw him simultaneously wince as he remembered his short time as dog crap.
As the two of you are thinking of solutions a large animal control truck pulls into the parking lot and an animal control officer steps out. The man goes unnoticed by the bitch and the Rottweiler as they continue barking up the side of your car. The man comes up to the puppy and grasps him by the back of the neck lifting him into the air. The pup lets out a soft cry that finally catches his mother’s attention. The bitch whips around and begins to growl at the man warning him to put her son down. At this the Rottweiler also stops his barking and growling as he notices the man’s uniform and the truck.
“Now, now little lady yall better stop yer growling”, the animal control officer says giving the bitch a sly look.
You finally realize that your solution has finally presented itself. You roll your window down further and call out to the officer asking, “Hello sir is everything alright?”
“That depends are these your dogs”, the man asks.
Think on your feet you say, “Oh well my buddy Keith here in the car is mine, but these other dogs are all dogs that I walk for people. As you can see things are not exactly going well.”
“I am sorry to hear that what is the problem?”
“Oh well you see Princess here seems to be in a bit of a mood today so much so that she bit me”, you tell the man raising your bloody hand for him to see.
“Well then if they are giving you problems I will take them with me and you can tell their owners where they can come to pick them up”, the man responds with a smile.
You are happy that you have finally found a solution to this problem but out of the corner of your eye you can see Keith glaring at you as if to say ‘I can’t believe that you are doing this’. This causes you to pause, are you really going to just let animal imprison these once people animals? Should you try to save them, maybe use the keys on animal control as well? What will you decide?
