Warm light filled the living room. Eggy and Tutu kept their heads bowed, ears pressed flat, every trembling hair a testament to their anxiety.
They didn't dare to look at Renee Jennings's family, afraid of seeing disgust on the human faces.
Just then, a childish voice piped up, "You're the doggies who beat up the bad guys!"
Eggy and Tutu snapped their heads up, their gazes meeting the clear, innocent eyes of the little boy.
"I remember you, too!" Eggy barked.
"Eggy says he remembers Zane, too." A faint smile touched Renee Jennings's lips as she introduced Eggy and Tutu to everyone.
"Eggy, Tutu, we were so lucky to have you that day…" Diana Jennings said, walking over to thank them sincerely.
Rhea Dempsey and Dalton Jenson also brought out some dog food for Eggy and Tutu.
Feeling the family's warmth, Eggy and Tutu gradually relaxed, the fear in their hearts beginning to fade.
