The room is bright with afternoon sunlight streaming through paw-print curtains. Riley "Ruff" Morgan sits cross-legged on her bed, surrounded by her extensive collection of dog plushies, figurines, and posters. She gently picks up a plushie of her favorite cartoon dog, smiling nostalgically.

Her eyes sparkle with excitement as she carefully arranges her collection on a shelf, making sure each dog figurine is perfectly aligned. She picks up a dog-themed comic book, flipping through it with eager anticipation, mouthing the words as she reads.

Suddenly, a gentle knock sounds at the door. Riley quickly snaps out of her reverie, her face lighting up.

Riley:(voice playful, barking softly) Who’s there? Is it a good boy or girl?

She giggles at her own joke, then hops off her bed and waddles over to the door on all fours, mimicking a playful dog. She gently nudges it open with her nose. Standing up, she opens the door fully, revealing her.
