Chapter 58

"Hey, sis Stella, I know." Rosie raised her hand to answer first, "Cooper caught the fish, and he won't let us eat it."

What? That was strange. Stella was utterly confused. How could her adorable puppy be so selfish?

"Woof!" Cooper tugged at her sleeve and pulled her towards the dining table. A big bowl of fried fish fillets sat on the table, their aroma making her mouth water.

Cooper stood on his hind legs, leaning on the table and nudged the bowl of fish forward: 'Here, have some!'

Stella looked puzzled, turning to Angela and the others for answers.

After they finished marinated the fish chunks, Stella hadn't returned. They thought they couldn't rely on her for everything, so they put their heads together and managed to whip up the fried fish.

But then Cooper fiercely guarded the fish, not allowing anyone else to touch it. He was drooling himself, and yet, he wouldn't let anyone else have a bite.

They were usually democratic. After all, Cooper was the one who had caught the fish. And right now, he was the the big boss with maxed-out survival skills in their group, so no one dared to cross him. Despite their hunger, they had to hold back. Cody was so hungry he was pleading, "Hurry up and eat. We're starving."

Stella chuckled, "Our Cooper is so great. He's even taking care of me now."

Cooper barked excitedly, "Woof!" His eyes sparkled as if he were saying: 'Hey, I'm taking care of you!'

Stella grabbed a piece of fried fish and took a bite. It was crispy, fresh, and delicious. Their survival group had finally started to make progress in cooking.

Watching the clever dog, Stella decided to tease him, "Cooper, I've had my share. Who's next?"

"Woof, woof!" Cooper wagged his tail vigorously, drool dripping from his mouth.

Stella understood and put a piece in his bowl, "Who's next?"
