StarNovelMitzi and her plump, bespectacled friend exchanged swift glances. They had already noticed that
Skylar was now inside the massive space, surrounded by hundreds of dogs in their enclosures.
“You’re supposed to be some sort of big shot, right? How dare you shut my beloved Gerry into a room
with a ton of ferocious dogs? I’m going to make sure you get savaged to death by all the dogs in this
place!” Mitzi gave a scornful sniff, then bent and cuddled the head of the massive black dog at her side.
She pointed at Skylar, standing on the walkway by the dog pens.
The black dog let out a fierce, carrying howl that sounded like a battle cry.
Up until then, all the dogs in the pens had been tame, friendly, and behaving adorably well. The minute
they heard the black dog’s howl, however, they suddenly began barking in a mad frenzy as if
something had electrified them.
Some of the dogs even began lunging violently at the sides of the enclosures.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe wooden fences that constituted the pens began to wobble dangerously. In no time at all, it seemed
as if these hundreds of dogs would soon break out of the enclosures and charge at Skylar, ready to
tear him to pieces.
The situation was dire!
Lola was so frightened that she whimpered and hid her face in Skylar’s shoulder.
Despite the perilous situation, Skylar did not retreat or back off. Instead, he took two steps forward
confidently. At the same time, he let out a loud snarl that carried easily through the massive space.
Grrr!
The hundreds of slavering, bloodthirsty dogs suddenly stopped dead in their tracks as if they had been
struck by lightning. Even their barks and growls were choked off abruptly.
The mad frenzy of howling and barking immediately fell silent.
Mitzi and her friend stood rooted to the spot, staring agape at what was happening before their eyes.
Before they could react or even get their wits together, something even more astounding happened.
As they watched, all the dogs suddenly got down on their bellies and began shivering in fear. The pin-
drop silence in the massive space slowly gave way to cowed, terrified whimpering.
All the dogs were behaving as if they had seen a terrifying vision and were now prostrating themselves
on the ground, begging for mercy, even the huge black dog beside Mitzi.
Skylar slowly turned around, looking for all the world like a vengeful god of war emerging from a sea of
blood. His brows drew together as his cold gaze alighted on Mitzi. “I’ll let you off this time because
you’re still nothing but a child. But if you don’t clean up your act and start behaving properly, I won’t be
so lenient next time!”
Mitzi was so frightened she was shivering in her shoes, unable to say a word. How could she do
otherwise when Skylar’s razor-keen eyes were fixed on her so unwaveringly?
Her friend was in no better state. Her legs gave way under her, and she collapsed onto the ground in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabsolute terror.
Skylar turned away without giving the pair a second glance. Gently stroking Lola’s head, he murmured
comfortingly, “It’s alright, sweetheart, everything’s fine now!”
Lola finally plucked up enough courage to peek out and look up. “Daddy, it was so scary just now! It’s a
good thing you’re here! You can protect me!”
When Skylar saw her tear-smeared face, his heart ached at her obvious distress. “That’s my good girl.
Let’s choose a puppy who’s as good as you and bring it home, shall we?” He stroked his daughter’s
back lightly a few times.
It did not take long for Lola to recover her spirits. In no time at all, she was back to her normal chatty,
excited self. “Yes! Let’s! I want to choose my own puppy though,” she demanded unapologetically.
All the dogs reverted to their tame, adorable selves once more.
Truth to tell, they were even more tame and adorable now.
Wherever Lola looked, the puppies and dogs in that area would wag their tails as if they were pleading
for mercy and anxious to please.
“Wow, this white doggie looks just like a fox!”
Lola’s gaze fell on a snowy-white Pomeranian, and she squealed in delight.
