Dave stood up for a moment, pocketing the pen and crumpling the paper, stuffing it into his pocket, looking down at Jenny again, now a bitch. "Jenny, wait here, I'll be right back" he stated, only to receive a louder whine in response, "It'll just be one second, I promise," Dave replied in a reassuring, calmed tone, rushing out to meet Doug.
Doug spun around, "Yes Dave, do you have the dog situation under control? We have alot of paperwork to catch up on today," to which Dave replied, "About that, i'm going to take the rest of the day off, I need to take care of this dog situation, I think I know who she belongs to," Dave said, lying. Doug responded, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then Dave, take care," Dave wiped his brow in relief, running back to his office, looking for the dog, who, thankfully had listened to him, whining softly, ears turned down, resting her muzzle on her paws. "Okay Jenny, if you're in there, I'll need you to hold still for a moment, I have one thing to take care of," Dave said, rushing out of the room again in a hurry, hearing Jenny only grunt a bit in disappointment as he headed toward the Janitors room, fetching some rope and cutting off a long length to serve as a make shift leash and collar.
Returning Jenny looked up to him curiously and then growled a bit, sitting back up, realizing what he was doing with the rope. Dave spoke calmly, "Look Jenny it's only for a moment until we reach my car okay.. please.. just let me put this on you so it doesn't raise any more questions okay girl?" She calmed a bit, clearly not happy about this but allowing him to leash her now, heading for the door, "that's a good girl" Dave said without even thinking about how he was referring to her more like a pet now, tugging the leash a bit and heading out of the office. Jenny huffed and slowly got up, lowering her ears, trotting along behind him unhappily, head lowered, stumbling a bit, not used to walking on four feet.
Eventually they reached the car, Dave helping Jenny up onto the front seat, securing a seatbelt around her and moving back to the drivers side door, starting the car and engaging it in gear, heading toward home. "I promise I'll figure something out when we get home girl," Dave said again without thinking, petting her too now, paying more attention the road.
