Man's Best Friend(ACT II) 3

Come on, Poochie. Atta girl! Let's go. We're off to the animal shelter.

Your name?

Robbie Stewart. And this is Alexandra Pappas.

Your name will do, Mr.Stewart. Your address?

46 Linden Street, Riverdale.

Where did you find the dog?

She found us.

You tried calling the number on the collar?

Yes, but the number's no longer in service.

And there's no address on the dog tag?

There's no other information.

No ID number. Without that, it's hard.

You will try to find the dog's owner.

Oh, we'll try, believe me.

And if you don't?

Yes?

If you don't... can I...can I adopt the dog?

Why, yes. If the owners don't claim the dog in forty-eight hours, then you can apply for adoption.

How do I do that?

You really want to?

Yes. I'm serious. If no one comes to claim Gemma, I'd like to adopt her.

It's no difficult.

Thinking Question: How many hours can Robbie adopt Gemma?
