"I'm that dude from the pet shop," Zack confirmed, glancing at the second dog-shaped hole in the snow. This time, it was Girl who went in to fetch her. She did, in fact, know snow! She was from a place that had lots of it, though she hadn't gotten to play in it since she was about Arlo 2's size herself.

So now there was a third dog-shaped hole in the snow, though Girl didn't seem quite so bothered by it as she snuffled and bunny-hopped her way over to go fetch the puppy.

"She really takes to the snow, huh? I guess this is her first time really getting to play in it."
