She thought her deskmate was a little strange.
He never ate anything and hardly ever talked.
Spicy strips, little biscuits, sunflower seeds, potato chips: he wouldn't even glance at them.
One day in class, she took out a sausage and was just about to sneak a bite behind the teacher's back.
Then her deskmate suddenly lunged in and took a bite, burying his head against her sleeve and nuzzling it.
Startled, she instinctively patted his head. To her surprise, her deskmate curled his lips into a grin, showing off his pearly white teeth.
"Are you seriously a dog?"
"Woof, woof!"
A story about a loyal puppy-like boy.
