Logan Foley adopts a puppy

[WildfireMicro 425]

 Logan Foley was driving around Stockholm, heading home after his trip to the grocery store. The VHLE season was winding down, and Logan did have a bit more time this week to and grab some groceries before he had to potentially head out and play some playoff hockey. As he was driving down the street towards his condo, he has to suddenly stop his car to just barely avoid hitting a dog he could just see about to run onto the street through his window.

 

 "Well crap..." Logan says to himself as he gets out of the car after pulling it over by the crub "I wonder if the owner is anywhere watching this dog..." The the dog itself is a black Labrador not even a year old, and it had no collar or any kind of identification tag on it. "I wonder if it is a stray" Logan says as he goes towards the dog, who slowly goes nears him and sniffs his outstretched hand before licking it. As it licks his hand, Logan can see that it is a male "Maybe I should see if it has any chip on him." Logan leads the dog to his car, and helps him get in it. 

 

 He then grabs his phone and calls the local vet office "hello, I have found this stray dog that is not even a year old, and I was wondering if you have any time today that we can go and check to see if he has any diseases or any chip in him."

 

 "Oh well that is unusual to find a stray that young" the receptionist says, surprised "nonetheless, we do have a spot free if you can get here within the next hour or two"

 

 "Absolutely, I'll be there in half an hour at the most" Logan says, as he sets his GPS to lead him to the vet. Ever since he had moved to Stockholm Sweden, he had been using that GPS a lot to get him through the unfamiliar Sweden cities and countrysides. "I really hope that you can stay with me little buddy, but if you have an owner then we will find them for you" he smiles at the puppy who was starting to fall asleep "it would be nice to have a pet that I can pet whenever I am frustrated with the Vikings and me losing"

 

 Soon enough, Logan reaches the veterinary clinic and carries the puppy into the waiting room. After setting him up with a complementary collar and leash, the receptionist let's Logan through the the vet doctor and his assistant. "Hmmm this is an interesting pup" the Doctor says as he examines him "we can't find a chip inside him, so we have no way to identify where he came from"

 

 "So I guess he really was just a stray" Logan shrugs "but damn, a stray that young?"

 

 "Yeah some people can be horrible about what happens to animals that can't take care of" the doctor sighs "however, if you plan on adopting him, how about giving him a name?"

 

 "Well how about we call him Shadow?" Logan smiles as he pets Shadow's ear, who tries to playfully bite his fingers.

 

 "That is a pretty good name for him" the Vet smiles "now we can set him up with some food and you can keep the collar and leash, but the rest is up to you"

 

 "Don't worry doc, I got it all covered" Logan smiles as he leads Shadow by his leash out of the vet and into his new life.
