CHAPTER 13

THE GOOD DOCTOR

The last humans Max had seen after everyone disappeared were the bad people back at the city near the riverboat. They’d been awful and cruel, and stunk of meanness. They were nothing like the family Max had been searching for.

So as Max watched the old woman stride down the front walkway with a small army of dogs and cats leaping happily around her feet, a joyous warmth flooded his insides.

Her caring and warmth were apparent as she bent down and scratched animals behind their ears and stroked their fur, offering gentle smiles and calm, soothing words of praise. Her scent—a human smell of sun-warmed skin and flowery soap—wafted over the manicured front lawn of the vet’s office, and with it came hundreds of memories of Charlie and Emma and the rest of his missing family.
