A trip to the shelter
The day came for the family to take a trip down to their local animal shelter and pick out a dog. They had waited a long while until they had enough time off work to gather the family together and go shopping. Mind you they weren’t really going shopping, shelter animals are usually free or very inexpensive.
This was also the perfect setup for the family that was not on the very wealthy side, they were just ordinary middle-class people. So instead of paying a huge amount of money for a special breed dog, this just made more sense in the end. They got in the car and away they drove.
