It was 2030 when Sarah Decker got her dream job to be an experimental scientist on animals. When she got her job she was put into the puppy division so she needed a dog. She went to the kennel right after her first day. When Sarah arrived she knew immediately which one she wanted. I was a runt of a puppy, I was scruffy with white fur and a brown spot on my eye, I yipped and had lots of energy, walked with confidence and often on only 2 feet. Perfect for the experiment! Sarah named me George. She was told to take the dog home and get to know the dog and form trust. she also went for tests to get me ready for the experiment. We got along great, we played together, we eat together and basically did everything together. Soon it was time for his experiment.

On the day of the experiment, we went into the lab happily and ready. It took a few hours but when it was over it had worked perfectly. I was now going through daily voice lessons and learning like a normal person Almost, I took a while to pick up on some stuff but once I did I excelled. I worked hard as if I couldn’t fail or tried not to. Within months I was done with kindergarten! A few years past and I was 4 now. I was in middle school classes and mostly walked on 2 legs. Everyday I Read, write, and walk. I loved learning but felt empty, like I needed something more.

Every Sunday Sarah and I would visit Sarah’s friend Kayla’s store. She was a short girl, she had short brown hair and a German accent. The store was small, slightly larger than a gas station. With a big awning and a sign that says Kayla’s things in big letters. I loved it there! There was a dog section and a people section, plus Kayla and I got along great. Whenever I’d walk in I would feel a spark of joy I never feel anywhere else. She shows me around in the back rooms some days too. The back room is bland looking with file cabinets and a desk for Kayla. It smelled like a dusty old room that hasn’t been used in years, and I liked it that way. And because I have the intelligence of a person I get to do some bookkeeping. That’s my favorite, or whenever I get to do anything related to the business. Somedays I dream about owning a business like that but, now almost every day I say to myself “I want to be a dog business owner”. Maybe Kayla can give me a job here and help her. I can’t wait for Sunday!

Itś Sunday!

“Wakie Wakie George”. Whispered Sarah. I didn’t think much of it and pretended to sleep. “it’s Sunday”! I suddenly shoot up out of my bed and let out a howl of joy. ¨OOOOOOOO.” Get ready to go,  breakfast is downstairs”. I swiftly strut over to my closet and pick my favorite bow tie. It’s yellow with polka-dots, Kayla’s favorite! I comb my hair, and brush my teeth like any human and practically run downstairs. Sarah and I both eat at a table so I can learn how to sit like a person better. On Sunday I get to eat cereal, which I wouldn’t get to eat any other day. After we’ve eaten we rush to the car and drive to Kayla’s store.”Hallo! George, I have some papers to show you in the back wanna see”? My immediate response was “Of Course”! When we reach the back room I have an urge to tell her about my plan but, don’t feel it was the right time.” So what we have here is.”. I didn’t pay attention after that cause all I could think about was what I would say to her when I told her my idea to expand her store and start a chain store. “Sooooooo I was thinking about his idea and wanted to know if you want to help”? I said.” Oh okay, let me hear it”. She replied.” Do you want to chain your store with my help? You know like.” I paused.” The next Target”?

“Oh really! That's honestly great.” She started talking fast with energy .” you know I've always wanted to do that and have never had someone smart enough to help me. I am so glad you said this. I can't wait to start”. We bubbled with energy over our new plans for the next hour or so. I told her some things I’d learned in articles about expanding businesses and she stayed captive the whole time. By 1 o'clock our plan was set. Soon after that, we called Sarah with our plan. At first, she was hesitant to let me help her friend do something crazy. But, she then realized this would be great publicity for her and her work with my smarts so she went along with it. So we got to work. We advertised, we marketed, we got new products, and a page in the local newspaper about our plan.

Plus, we got funding from the lab to open our second store. It was all up from there. Except for Mister Wastonable, he was a rich man with stores that were beginning to expand and he knew we wouldn’t help him on his plan to become richer. And one day he came with a threat to our original store.” Why hello, I am chuffed to make your acquaintance,” He said with joy trying to fool us.” I’m Karl J. Wastonable, I own the most profitable growing business out here and am warning you that your publicity stunt to get attention with this dog is not going to stay big for very long”. He exclaimed with a false sense of power.” Okay, sir! We love some friendly competition would you like to browse around for a while and see our wide array of stock”! Sarah announced with the perfect amount of snarkiness that she just seemed to be polite.” No! I must leave before someone sees me at such a a... Trash heap of a building”, And he marched right out of the store,” You have been warned! I will stop you!”. ”Have a nice day”. We said together as perky as we could.
