Alex was thankful when Michael took the bag of chicken. As it gave him the opportunity to pick up the puppy and stand up. "Don't you dare take her back. I'm glad you got her," he said as he looked at the dog in his arms. The smile still hadn't faded from his face. "She's great. What her name?" Of course he assumed that Michael had named her already. He wouldn't have minded though. He walked into the house and closed the door.
