Tiffany stayed in that position until she heard footsteps approaching. Her ears twitched by reflex as she put down her paws and lifted her head slightly. She was hungry and so depressed that she wasn’t even sure how long Key had gone.
The glass door opened and in walked the blond young man, followed by someone Tiffany didn’t recognize.
“There she is. I’m sorry I took so long. No one seemed to know where you came from and Fany noona didn’t know either,” he said as he squatted down in front of Tiffany and stroked her head. “It’s better not to disturb her when she asks to be left alone unless you have a death wish. Anyway, I got you something.”
Tiffany was already sniffing around. She had smelled something delicious from the moment Key began approaching her. Is it food? Meat?
“It’s from my sandwich. I hope you like turkey meat.”
She had forgotten about her dignity when she stood up, wagging her tail shamelessly at Key who began unwrapping the thin slices of meat, putting them on the carpet in front of her.
“She looks hungry. Do you have more?”
Tiffany heard the unfamiliar voice in between her munching but was too busy eating to see who it was.
“I’m afraid not.”
“I’ll make sure to get her plenty of dog food later then.”
She lifted her head at that. “Dog food? Ew! Just give me normal, cooked meat, please. A burger would be nice.”
Bark. Bark. Bark.
The two people smiled and chuckled.
“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”
The stranger approached her and kneeled down, rubbing her ears.
It was a young woman, shorter than Key, with long, dark brown hair and a fair complexion.
Tiffany thought that the girl was pretty. She smells nice too. Like… baby powder? And… flowers? Wait. There’s crayon smell too.
The woman laughed when the dog began sniffing her.
“She likes you,” said Key. “Thank goodness. I honestly didn’t know who else to call, Noona.”
“It’s okay. I’m glad you called me. She’s a nice girl. Aren’t you a nice girl? Who’s the nice girl?” the woman cooed, rubbing Tiffany’s ears even harder. “By the way, your eyes are wet and kinda… dirty,” she said as she carefully wiped Tiffany’s eyes with her thumbs then stood up to get a tissue. “What’s her name, by the way?”
“I don’t know. She’s not wearing a collar,” answered Key.
“It’s me, Key. Tiffany. My name is Tiffany.”
The woman laughed when the dog started barking again. “If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re trying to say your name out loud. Well, I guess we’ll just have to figure it out later.” She then bent down and lifted Tiffany, surprising the latter who struggled to get out of the hold. “Hey hey, calm down. I’m not going to hurt you,” she gently said, hugging the dog while stroking her back. “Once we get you a leash, you’re free to walk on your own but for now, it’s better if I carry you, okay?”
Tiffany stopped struggling and turned her head to look at this woman whose face was now in close proximity with hers.
“Aw… you’re so cute.”
The woman suddenly nuzzled Tiffany, startling her yet again. Did she just… kiss my cheek?
“Come on. Let’s go home.”
“Thanks for the help, Taeyeon noona,” said Key as he let the woman and the dog out.
“Anytime, Key.”

After stopping by the pet shop for some supplies, Tiffany found herself in a medium-sized apartment downtown.
“How do you like it?” Taeyeon asked as she put the dog and the plastic bags down. She took out two newly purchased bowls and brought them to the kitchen to wash. “Don’t pee on the carpet or on my furniture, okay? You’ll ruin them.”
Well, duh? You think I don’t know that? Where is your bathroom anyway?
She decided to explore the place, found what she was looking for, and became irritated when she couldn’t reach the door handle. So she began barking, demanding for the woman to open the door so she could do her business.
“Hey, chill! You’re gonna make the neighbors angry.” Taeyeon came out of the kitchen and approached the noisy dog. “What do you want?”
Tiffany starting clawing at the closed door with her right paw. “Open the door!” she barked.
“What? There’s nothing in there. That’s just the bathroom.” Taeyeon pressed the door handle, pushed the door open and turned on the lights.
I know, genius. I can smell it from a mile away. I need to go.
“Close the door!”
Bark.
Taeyeon raised her eyebrows. “What now? You’ve gotten your wish.”
“Then leave me so I can pee!”
Bark. Bark.
“You’re seriously noisy,” Taeyeon said, turning to leave. “Don’t drink from the toilet, okay? If you want to do your business, I’d prefer you do it near the drain. Easier for me to clean.” She then shook her head. “As if she could even understand what I’m saying,” she mumbled to herself on the way back to the kitchen.
Taeyeon had just finished scooping dog food into the bowl when she heard the dog barking again.
“What now? Sheesh.”
She left the bowl and the open can on the kitchen counter and went to the bathroom to find Tiffany sitting in front of the door, waiting for her.
“Did you pee?”
Taeyeon went inside, saw what looked to be the neatest toilet trip any dog had ever taken and couldn’t help but feel strange. “How did your owner train you? You did it right near the drain like I told you to,” she said as she turned on the water to clean up. “Good girl.” She petted the dog once she was done. “I’ll leave the bathroom door open from now on.”
“Thanks. Sorry I called you. I didn’t know how to flush it. Couldn’t reach the tap.”
Taeyeon grinned when the dog barked at her. “Proud, are ya? Well, I bet you’re still hungry so let’s go. Dinner time.” She walked to the kitchen with the dog at her heels.
Tiffany hesitated when Taeyeon put the full bowl in front of her.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you hungry?” Taeyeon asked, squatting down next to the dog.
Tiffany sniffed the food. It smelled great and she was indeed starving but…
It’s dog food. I don’t even know what kind of meat this is or where it’s from. Is it even cooked? Do they cook dog food? I guess so. It doesn’t look raw.
“Go on. Eat a lot,” Taeyeon said, reaching out to pet the dog before leaving to put away the rest of the stuff.
Tiffany took a deep breath and licked just a little bit of the meat. It tasted good so she convinced herself that it was okay. In her current state, she had no choice but to eat this anyway.
Each bite became bolder and she soon finished the whole thing since she hadn’t had anything to eat since breakfast.
She licked her lips and went to the other bowl that Taeyeon had filled with water.
Drinking took some getting used to since she had to lap the water up. She ended up making a mess, wetting her nose, chin and the fur on her chest. She also spilled some of the water on the floor.
“You done?”
She heard Taeyeon returning and looked at her shyly.
“Wow. You ate everything. Good girl.” Taeyeon rubbed Tiffany’s head, noticed the mess and took some paper towels to clean the floor and the dog. She then refilled the bowl before going to the living room.
Tiffany didn’t know what to do so she just followed Taeyeon until she saw her sitting down on the carpet.
“Come here, girl.”
Taeyeon clapped her hands, beckoning Tiffany over until the dog complied albeit hesitantly.
“Do you want to wear the collar? Or just do so when we go out on walks?” asked Taeyeon as she picked up the pink leather collar with a silver bone dangling from it, a matching set with the pink leash. She had chosen a purple one, at first, but the dog barked and actually flung the collar away with her paw. So she let her choose. It was weird how the dog went for the pink one. Taeyeon thought that animals were colorblind. She didn’t know that even though that was true, Tiffany could read. She saw the label on the shelf where the leash and collars were hanging and searched for the word “pink”.
Tiffany shook her head, making Taeyeon laugh.
“Walks only it is.” Taeyeon put the collar down and showed Tiffany the clothes. “Cute, aren’t they? Wanna wear them and take pictures?”
“Over my dead body!”
Bark.
“Okay!” Taeyeon tried to catch the dog but she escaped her quickly, running towards the kitchen again. “Hey! Why are you running away? They’re cute! Look at this! It’s a pink dinosaur outfit! You’ll look so cute in this! Don’t you like pink?”
Tiffany took a peek from behind the counter, saw the outfit and tilted her head, thinking that it would definitely look cute on a puppy. Just not her.
“Alright. No playing dress up tonight. I guess you’re still not used to me or this place, huh?” Taeyeon put all the stuff aside, leaving only the toys out, splayed between her legs. “Come here.” She patted the carpet and clucked her tongue, calling Tiffany. “Let’s start with figuring out your name then.”
Tiffany slowly came out of hiding, walking towards the smiling Taeyeon. She liked this kind woman and was grateful for Key’s decision to let her take care of her.
“Come here.” Taeyeon placed a hand on Tiffany’s chin and pulled her a bit, making her come closer. “Now then… sit,” she said.
Sit? What do you think I am, a dog? Oh wait. I am a dog now. Damn it.
“Come on, girl. Sit.” Taeyeon pushed Tiffany’s behind down and the dog quickly stepped away, refusing to be touched. “Oh come on.” Taeyeon reached out but the black dog backed away yet again. She sighed and gave up. “Okay. We’ll work on that some other time.”
Tiffany kept staring at Taeyeon who was looking at her with a small smile on her face.
“You’re really cute. Stubborn and noisy too, but cute nonetheless,” Taeyeon said.
“So are you.”
Bark.
Taeyeon laughed. “Like the compliment?” She extended one hand, gesturing for Tiffany to come.
