“Puppies are better than people…” Her tone was sing-song, as she raised the little animal up to the level of her nose, receiving a lick from it in return. “Kudos if you got the reference.” Ariella looked at the one standing by her side, distractedly offering a smile. “Don’t you think he’s the cutest thing ever?”
“Forgive me for not knowing the reference,” Dax said with a chuckle. “But I do think he’s cute, reminds me of a little teddy bear,” he said. Dax grew up with a few dogs in his childhood, but his parents were big fans of having show dogs to show off to their friends. Not cute little puppies like the one Ariella had in her arms. “You’re lucky to get to have this cute little guy around.”
