Chapter One
A Wish Come True
page 1
A friend of mine came over one day. His name is Zongzi and he was excited about an ad he saw in the newspaper. He pointed it out ad stated "Puppies for sale."
Just a few days earlier Zongzi had mention to me that he is interested in getting a puppy.
You see it was hard for Zongzi to decide on getting a new dog because of his bad experience he had with his last dog, Ivan.
Ivan was a long-haired German shepherd that had to be put to sleep for biting someone's face.
Zongzi asked me to give him a ride to look at the pups. I told him I would and I gave him a ride to a old shack way out in the woods.
On the way, I could see the excitement in his eyes about having a new buddy. At this time in his life, Zongzi did not have much. He had no real home and most of the time he slept in his van. I herd that he keeps all his possessions down in an underground fort somewhere deep in the woods. However, I am not too sure he actually does.
When we first laid eyes on the little puppies, Zongzi knew right away which one he wanted. One of the pups had a broken ear like his last dog, Ivan. We watched the puppies play for awhile and we noticed that the other puppies were pushing around the one that Zongzi liked. Zongzi always roots for the underdog.
We knocked on the door and a woman answered. After we introduced ourselves, she replied saying that her name is Irene. She then went on to say that she would only sell her puppies to good home.
Zongzi assured her that he would take care of the puppy. He then said,
"How much are you selling them for and can you tell me a little about the parents of the litter?"
Irene then replied saying "We have only sold one so far and it was the albino. The price for the albino was $500.00 and we expect to get at least that much for each of the puppies."
Irene then told us stories about how the parents would work as a team. She said that the female would wait and pounce on prey that would be fleeing from the male. She also said the female had to weigh over one hundred twenty pounds and the male could easily jump over a six foot fence!
