Is it just me, or did I hear a dog bark?
There’s nothing wrong with your hearing, brother. I finally managed to adopt the dog I’ve been eyeing at the shelter. Come with me at the backyard, and go say ‘hello’.

He’s cute. What do you call him?
His name is Milo. He’s a two-year-old Siberian Husky. Isn’t he adorable?

Not yet. I just got him here this morning. Could you drive us to Dr. Atkinson’s at 2 pm? We could also get him other stuff on the way.
