Bucky wagged its tail enthusiastically after confirming that Oliver was a good person.

“You know this dog?” Oliver asked in surprise.

The puppies had been too scared to come out earlier because Bucky had been barking so fiercely. But now that they felt safe, they all scrambled out, looking adorable.

The tiny pups were friendly, sniffing around the two of them before eagerly nudging their hands. Their soft little whimpers melted hearts instantly.

“You’re back?” Nina smiled when she saw him. “The driver said you were with Jeremy. Where did you two go?”
