Shanty was Sahara’s pick of the litter. She loved the colour of the Australian Shepherd’s crystal blue eyes.

“Mom, can I have him?” Sahara pleaded.

“No, honey. Shanty is ‘show quality.’ His asking price is out of my league.”

Shanty gnawed on Sahara’s pinky with razor-sharp teeth.

“I’ll get a job, Mom, and pay you back.”

“Sahara, you’re only eight years old. What kind of job could you do?”

The little girl closed her eyes, slowly drew a measured breath, and waited for enlightenment.

“I know. Hire me as your mother’s helper, and I’ll repay you with my allowance.”
