The Pound Puppies were running around in their underground base of operations when Squirt strolls in through a tunnel, quiet happily.

"Squirt, what are you so happy about? We still have to find this puppy a home." Lucky chuckles at the small dog who smiles more.

"I just called in a favour from a friend. They'll help find a home for the pup. Trust me." He says, walking towards the small brown pup that looks around the room curiously.

"Lucky! Lucky! I just got some news!" Cookie runs in from another tunnel, looking frantic and stressed.

"What is it, Cookie?" Lucky asks, turning to her as Niblit and Strudel came and joined them too. "Is there kids here?"

"No!" Cookie pants before standing tall. "The Pound Master is coming here, to our pound!" She says excitedly.

"What?! Why is she coming here?!" Lucky asks shocked and excited. The Pound Master was the K-9 who could find a home for any pup, she was a legend and it was both exciting and terrifying to have her visit a pound, sometimes she fires dogs if they aren't working right, or she trains them to do better.

"Didn't I just tell you that?" Squirt asks, walking up with the pup, Brownie.

"The Pound Master is your friend?" Brownie asks cutely, looking at the slightly bigger dog beside her.

"You got that right, kid." Squirt smiles more. "We were in the same place as pups. 'Came friends and have had each other's backs ever since. She usually asks me for favours, so I put in one."

"That's so cool!" Brownie cheers excitedly.

"He forgot to say we're neighbours at this time in life too." A female voice announces from a tunnel. Dogs all rush and line up on either sides to form a pathway to Lucky and the group. "Hi, I'm Red Panda. Squirt asked for help so here I am, at your service. Lucky, right?"

"That's me. It's an honour, Red Panda." Lucky tells her politely as she sits in front of the group who are in a line except for Squirt and a confused Brownie.

"Please, call me Red. A friend of Squirts will always be a friend of mine. So, this is Brownie?" The dog with brown, red, orange and black fur asks, looking at the small brown pup. "Hello."

"Hello, ma'am." Brownie greets back, smiling shyly.

"Call me Red, please. We're all friends here, ain't we?" She chuckles softly. "I won't be anything but kind to ya'll for letting me come help find Brownie a home."

"Thank you, Red." Brownie smiles, more genuine this time.

"Now, could you tell me about yourself, Brownie?" Red Panda asks softly, pulling the pup close as if preparing for a story.

"Okay. Well, I like to play anything really, I am not really picky about food, but prefer pieces from kids' plates, like scraps I guess. Uh... I don't know what else..." Brownie explains shyly.

"Do you like naps in the sun? Do you mind sleeping both inside and outside the house? And what would be the perfect family in your mind?" Red asks, laying down to be the same height.

"I love naps in the sun. Uh, I don't mind sleeping anywhere unless it's raining outside and there's no dry place to sleep. My perfect family would most likely be kind parents with nice and playful kids. I wouldn't mine if it was just two owners as long as they play with me." The puppy explains with a smile on her face.

"I think I have an idea." Red smiles softly at the pup before nudging her to some other dogs. "Go get washed up before we do anything. I'll talk to Lucky and his group." Brownie obeys and leaves.

"What ya thinking, Panda?" Squirt asks the tall female dog.

"My people been looking for a pup since they know I sometimes wander off. They think their kid needs a pup to show responsibility, and since her birthday is tomorrow, I could guide them here. You just make sure Brownie is ready, I'll deal with the rest."

"Sounds like a plan. Thanks Red." Cookie smiles softly.

"Anything for a brother." Red nudges Squirt. "I better go, dinner will be soon. Hope will need help in the kitchen."

Red Panda leaves while the Pound Puppies get everything ready, Squirt explaining to Brownie that the mother of the small family, Hope, is blind so Red Panda is her guide dog when she isn't at home. The two continue talking until it's time for Squirt to head home and Brownie to get some sleep before tomorrow.
