"Looking to adopt?" A store clerk asks Dokéshi. "Yeah how do I adopt one?" Dokéshi responds not breaking eye contact with the golden retriever held behind a cage before him. "You just have to sign these papers, make sure you can maintain him regularly, and pay 170 dollars then he's all yours!" The store clerk explains. Dokéshi, finally looking away from the golden retriever. "Well," he examines the clerks name tag, "Domincio, go get that paperwork." As Domincio goes to retrieve the papers Dokéshi starts wondering to name the golden ball of fuzz standing happily in front of him, "Don't worry little buddy, your coming home with me," He says as he shares excitement with the big puppy in front of him. "Here you go sir, start filling this out while I go get you your new best friend," Domincio hands Dokéshi the paperwork as he walks off to get the golden retriever. Dokéshi examines the list; food, bowls, bed, "this all makes sense to me." He says as he starts to wander off looking for the items on the list. 'What should I name him? He is a golden retriever so maybe lucky, gold's a lucky substance right?' In the middle of thinking his phone starts ringing, 'Cheryl': his boss. Dokéshi answers the phone call, " Hello." His boss replies, "Hey Dokéshi I was wondering when you were going to come back to work. I know you have been out for a while, and I want to check up on you and make sure you are doing okay." "Yeah I'm doing fine, just been dealing with some things in my personal life I can show up to work tonight if you need me to." Dokéshi responds. "Oh no that won't be needed I will however need you tomorrow night, think you can do that?" Cheryl asks. "Yes of course text me a time and I can be there." Dokéshi answers. "Okay Dokéshi be safe now, love you hun, buh bye." "Bye miss glaster." Dokéshi says hanging up the phone. "She's a real nice lady but she's got that motherly instinct, and I'm just her employee ya know?" He says as he hands Domincio the paperwork. Domincio ring reflected a word. 'Live? Love? Lie? What could that word be?' Dokéshi asks himself. "Hey man, 170 dollars, we take cash or card." Domincio says almost irritatedly. "Calm down Domincio, it's not wise to tell at your customers haha. Here you big baby, 200 Dollars," he hands Domincio 200 dollars in twenties, "Now relax big guy, its not good on your heart when you start stressing like that." Dokéshi says laughing. "Come on boy," he says to the dog as he walks out of the doors of the PetWay. He runs across the street and opens the door to his little car, "Get in there boy, you got it." The dog leaps into the car, and immediately starts sniffing around to get familiar with his new owners scent. The dog barks, drawing attention from the kids walking down the street with ice cream dripping down their cones onto their hand. "Can we pet the puppy mister?" they all ask impatiently. "Yeah sure go for it," Dokéshi responds. "What's his name sir," one little boy asks eagerly. Dokéshi had forgotten to name him, how could he have forgotten? "His name is... Medicus." "Wow that's such a cool name, Who's a good boy Medicus. You are! Uh huh." The kids say playing and petting the golden retriever sitting happily in the front seat.
They finally manage to get the crowd of children away and start the drive home. When they arrive home Dokéshi puts the collar on him, "Now we just have to get you a name tag Medicus." Medicus responded joyfully to that name. Medicus. Dokéshi opened the car door and Medicus ran towards the puddle of mud outside of the garage. "Medicus, come on boy." Dokéshi says laughing at how cute and funny Medicus was. Dokéshi finally manages to restrain Medicus and carry him inside. "Let's get you in the shower buddy." He sets Medicus on the floor inside his bathroom, "Sit." Medicus listened as if he had already been trained. Dokéshi turned the water on so he wouldn't put Medicus in the freezing cold shower. "Let's give you a little shower Medicus." Dokéshi says playfully. Medicus immediately starts barking, refusing to get in the shower. Then immediately, everything turned red. Blood covered the sink and the shower spit blood all over Medicus and Dokéshi. Discrete laughing can be heard from the shower drain. Medicus barks, and everything stops. no water, no blood and no laughing. Maybe this dog was his healer.
