Chapter 37

Even though she knew Cooper was tough, Stella hoped he could become even stronger. After all, who could resist the allure of a juicy steak when faced with the threat of starvation? So, Cooper had to get stronger. Jasper's request was simple. "I'll help you train your dog, and you have to teach Rosie how to read."

That was the deal? Stella was taken aback. "Rosie is smart and obedient. You can teach her yourself."

Jasper looked a bit uncomfortable. "I can't teach reading. Training dogs is easier."

Stella relented, "Alright, it's a deal."

He would help her train her dog, and she would teach Rosie to read.

As soon as she opened the door, a dark shadow pounced on her. The low whine sounded anxious and restless. A pair of paws were continually scrabbling at Stella.

Stella petted his head. "It's okay. I'm not going anywhere."

Cooper was abandoned before and weren't easy to soothe, so she fed him a hot dog. But it was still restless, following Stella wherever she went, not letting her out of its sight.

Not only was she exhausted today, but she was also famished. Reuniting with Cooper was worth celebrating, so Stella took out some grilled ribs, roast duck, and stir-fried beef, along with a beer. Even if he wasn't hungry, Cooper still watched eagerly, practically drooling.

Stella gave him a bone, and then started watching a show while eating.mCooper was so greedy. He jumped onto the couch and lay on her, occasionally pushing her shoulder with his paw. When Stella was unmoved, he fetched his own food bowl, as if he was saying 'feed me"!

"You're a clever one." Stella tossed him a bone to gnaw on. "Don't stuff yourself. There will be good food every day."

After dinner, she had to teach Cooper to use the toilet. Not only Cooper, but the pair of breeding rabbits and their litter, too.

The balcony was still damp despite being glassed in, which made the rabbits look quite wilted. She placed a lot of cardboard in their hutch. After moving them to the bathroom, they perked up. Once they got used to it, they weren't afraid of people and started wandering around the house.
