We first saw her walk out from under a car near our home – a grease-smudged ball of fluffy whiteness. She was, hands down, the cutest puppy we had ever seen – a tiny thing with little ears, button eyes, and curly tail – a stuffed animal come to life. Her cuteness was almost unbearable.
We asked her owner – a mechanic under the same car – if she had any brothers or sisters. He had bought her on a street corner in San Francisco and didn’t know. The following day, overrun by her puppy energy, he offered to sell her to us. I bargained her down to $35 and then brought her home as a surprise for Loveleen. We had a dog!
