Side hustles are always a good way to make extra money. Especially when you have Wednesdays off. People with pets, especially dogs, are always looking for a little extra help especially when they’re working late.

That’s where you come in.

About a year ago you took up dog walking as a way to earn some extra cash and spend time with some cute fluffy buddies. On your Wednesdays you go to your clients houses and take their dogs out for walks. Maybe spoil them a bit and let them have some fun in the dog park. German shepherds, dachshunds, pugs, poodles, Great Danes, name em and you’ve walked em.

It’s 2pm and today is a new day and a new dog. A beautiful Australian Shepherd named Clover. She’s still a puppy and full of energy, tugging and pulling at the leash as you walk down the side walk. Practically dragging you.

“Girl slow down!” you shout helplessly as the dog barks happily barreling down the pavement.

It happened in a flash. One moment you're being dragged along tripping over your feet, and the next you’re crashing into a broad chest. Clover running in circles around you and the stranger tangling your legs together. When you look up you freeze for a moment. A tall almost mountain of a man and muscle stands flush against you. His face covered in a sniper hood, blue eyes looking down with curiosity and surprise.

“Scheiße!” He curses as the leash tightens around both your legs.
