The P! True Story: Coco


Unce upon a time, there was a girl (well, not that young) sitting in an icecream store trying to choose a flavour to soothe her blue mood. She missed her family so much, she would recall old memories of them almost every day. In fact, after living in Miami for 4 years, she still couldn't feel like being home.
A question brought her back to reality. "What would you like for Christmas? you still haven't told me". That was probably the eleventh time she heard the question in a week. Still, she couldn't find something she would want for a gift, since what she wanted the most was to share the season at home with her family.

Suddenly, she noticed that the man next to her was holding something in his arms, something she had never seen before. It was a very special moment, until she had to let go of the little paw in order to let the man leave the store.

"What is that?"

"It's a Pug."

"I want a pug for Christmas, then".

She didn't know that to get a pug at a petstore was not a wise idea. But she had no choice. Two weeks later she had already entered the store and seen Coco.

The first month at the house was the time to adapt. She had owned many dogs back in Peru - and rabbits, cats, horses, sheep, chicken, quails, etc.- but all of them were outdoor pets. She never had any responsibility, either. Coco was the first one to depend completely on her. And that was such a challenge!
