Max joined us in the hallway.

Max said: “And I bet a big dude like you never gets teased or tripped because you’re ‘so skinny you might just snap in two.’”

It was true. I didn’t get teased for not living with my mom—and no one ever told me I was too skinny. (The vet says the opposite. Something about needing to watch how many snacks I get….) But I slurped Max on the knee to let him know it would be okay too.

I wished I could tell Max and Lily two things:

1. Just like dogs, people come in all shapes and sizes. And that’s good! Being big helps me do my guard-dog thing. But the skinny dogs? They can run faster and get comfortable in smaller places.

2. My foster parents—first Julia and then Paul—were the best people ever. They loved me and taught me when my mom couldn’t. And Samuel—my forever dad—would never have found me if it weren’t for Paul. I’d never be a Helper Hound without Paul!

But before I could figure out how to tell them this, I heard a familiar rumble. I chomped up my ball and trotted toward the front door. They’d left it open. Just a thin screen between me and what I knew was coming: The Brown Truck!

I woofed two of my best barks before Samuel told me to sit and hush. But the brown truck stopped right in front of Max and Lily’s house.

Danger! Danger!
