Where’s Mama?
Gary waited for the mother to show up, but she never came. All the while, the pups were rubbing themselves against him and touching him with their flippers.
Gary was petting them gently and even holding hands with some of them. It felt impossible to turn away their sweet faces. He hoped he wouldn’t regret letting his guard down. Then, when he was least expecting it, he felt the jaws of a pup close around his hand.
