THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NEW PET

There's a new pet on the way—the moment every kid dreams of!

It's the night before the adoption of a puppy and the whole family can hardly wait. Everyone helps prepare: they buy treats, set up a crate, and discuss what they should name the pet. When they get to the shelter, they see all kinds of dogs — until they spot the perfect one for them. But a last-minute surprise makes things twice as exciting!
