On a busy morning, this watchful pup starts to get nervous.
His humans are gathering shoes and shin pads, clues that his family is getting ready to leave the house for a soccer game. With a boop on his nose and a “Be good, pup,” they are out the door, leaving him behind. Time to mope, pace, chew, whimper and howl. But just when the gloomies set in, what's that? Footsteps? The door opens, and now everyone's home. The pup is overjoyed, so it's time for ZOOMIES!
