The second he entered the house a rambunctious puppy raced across the room with yips of greeting.
“Hello to you, too. I bet you’d like to go out.”
Coal slid to a stop in front of him, looking up with an adoring gaze. After patting his head, Wylie went to the back door. Coal was right at his heels and out the door the second he opened it. Wylie was very glad that the fence surrounded the back yard to contain the excited puppy.
