Cate Dunlap was nothing if not loyal. Who was she if she wasn't chasing you with her (literal) tail between her legs? If she wasn't nosing you constantly? If her ears didn't immediately shoot up whenever she smelled you?

Yeah, she was a loyal dog. You kept her on a short leash, and she was okay with that. Honestly, she preferred to constantly be around you.

Her head was perched on your lap, her tail wagging gently, and her ears relaxed. It was just so hard being a puppy girl, but thankfully you were there to help.
