As they entered the aisle, Emily ended up dace to face with a young beagle girl, wearing a cute little sundress!
"Mommy, mommy!" The girl tugged on her mom's hand, "Lookit! A human!" She sampled and waved at Emily. "Can I pet her?"
The mother looked over at Emily, and up at Brutus, her gaze lingering on him for a moment before answering, "Ask her owner first, dear."
The girl nodded and ran up to Brutus, who was busy talking with the employee about the newest human toys, Emily sat her bare butt on the cold tile, and tried to get comfortable. She never cared for kids, but that didn't mean she wanted to hurt them.
"Mister, can I pet your human?" She asked, getting Brutus' attention.
He looked down at her and looked up, seeing the mother nod in confirmation, he smiled at the little girl, "Alright, but be gentle, we just left the vet."
