"Snowball No. 1!" Kim Haru called out.
A muffled whimper answered him, as if Snowball No. 1's mouth was blocked by something.
Kim Haru hurried over, taking long strides.
Snowball No. 1 slowly turned around toward him, revealing its predicament.
"...Pfft."
The moment Kim Haru saw Snowball No. 1 clearly, he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Snowball No. 1's pristine white fur was now covered in grayish, stringy objects, thin and long, resembling octopus tentacles. These strange appendages clung tightly to its face. Around its mouth, a lump of grayish-white material was lodged, completely blocking its ability to bark properly.
It looked just like a greedy dog that had tried to eat an octopus and ended up getting tangled in its tentacles.
After a good laugh, Kim Haru quickly stepped forward to help.
