Chapter 249

a long row of stacked cages.Only then did Skylar realize that the entire wall was full of these cages. There were several dozen of them, each containing puppies. He recognized some of the breeds, but there were also others that he had never seen before.Lola stared raptly, her eyes as big as saucers.“Tell the nice man which one you’d like, Lola,” Skylar told her, lifting her up so she could see better.Lola looked at all the cages intently. She thought that all the puppies were adorable, but none of them truly caught her eye. She wrinkled her nose, unable to make a decision.At this point, Mitzi burst through the door. Upon seeing Skylar and Lola, she declared, “It’s ok if there aren’t any puppies here that you like. My family has a bigger facility nearby with a lot more breeds.

From the looks of it, this was the reigning canine king of the kennels, the top dog.The bespectacled girl shot a glance at Mitzi, who nodded and immediately opened a large black steel door.Inside, Skylar could see a huge space filled with wooden dog pens that housed a large variety of breeds. Each breed had its own pen; a cursory glance indicated that there were at least over a dozen of these fenced-off areas.“The dogs are all inside.
