Brought to the pound!

Jackie had immediately waited for Todd to take one of his many "business trips" that were starting to get suspicious, and loaded Huanggou into the car.

It wasn't too long of a drive, just outside of town on a large bit of property, and was easily let in. She had called earlier asking for a representative to guide her around, and was shocked to see just how well trained the dogs were. Trainers walking the dogs would wave to her and seemed to be modeling the many different pets that they had in stock, with a particular emphasis on the many Asian bitches for sale.

Walking through the doors with Huanggou trailing behind her she took a seat waiting for her rep to find her. Soon enough a beautiful blonde greeted her.

"Hello, my name is Melissa. You must be Jackie?" She said before bending down and petting the dog. "And you must be Huanggou?"

Huanggou let out a little bark before licking the blonde's face.

"Huanggou, bad dog! Stop it!" Jackie commanded embarrased at the display.

"Oh, it's no worry at all. I love puppy kisses!" Melissa said with a giggle as she stood up and wiped away the drool. "What brings you to the pound?"

"I'm hoping to trade in Huanggou for a Japanese dog. It's always been a dream of mine to own one after all." Jackie answered.

"Aww, are you sure? Huanggou is so cute after all?"

"I'm sure. She's just not what I want." Jackie said.

"We'll see about that, if you'd like to follow me." Melissa said turning.

Jackie was confused by what she meant, but followed along.

"Here at the pound we have only the best quality dogs, and we specialize in Japanese dogs. Is there any particular breed you were interested in? We have so many." Melissa said before stating a couple.

"I'm not sure. All I know is I want one cuter than this dumb mutt." Jackie said, pulling on the leash.

"That might be hard, with how cute Huanggou is, but I'm sure we have something for you." Melissa said as they reached the first room.

On the wall was a console with a multitude of buttons that Melissa went to before talking again.

"Is there anything that you were looking for in particular? A guard dog? A service dog? Perhaps you were interested in competition?"

Jackie grew wet at the thought. She hadn't thought about their being different breeds of Japanese bitches and thought it over.

"Can you show me one of each?" Jackie asked as Huanggou absentmindedly scratched her head with her back leg.

"Of course! Let's start with an Akita!" Melissa said, before pushing a series of buttons.

The wall next to the console turned transparent and a hole opened up in the next room. Out of it a Japanese bitch crawled in, this one was dressed to the nines. A black collar, a yellow ear headband, a yellow chest harness that read "guard", cute yellow paw mitts, and yellow and white knee protectors to complete the ensemble.

"Now Akitas get a bad rep for aggression, but that's because they were bred as guard dogs first and foremost. As you can see she is a bit bigger and muscular than the average Japanese bitch, but I assure you she is certainly a cutie." Melissa said.

Jackie took a closer look, she was certainly bigger than she had thought. In fact she looked like if she stood she would be bigger than her! A fact confirmed when Melissa dispensed a treat close to the transparent wall to get her to jump up on her hind legs. Able to get a closer look she was impressed by her musculature, a six pack evident.

"How ould I control her?" Jackie asked a little nervous.

"Oh, you don't need to worry. As a guard dog breed Akitas are naturally submissive to their owners. In fact, it would be a surprise if she didn't lick you every time you walk through the door." Melissa answered.

Jackie liked the sound of that, the only thing she didn't like was having to share with Todd.

"Does she do tricks? I don't really have a need for a guard dog?" Jackie asked.

"Oh, of course. She'll protect your home, but she will just as quickly play fetch and roll over." Melissa said.

Keeping that in mind, Jackie asked to see the next one. The Akita was given a signal through the console and crawled away only to be replaced by a much smaller dog.

"This cutie is a Shiba. Known for their friendliness and loving nature, you'll have trouble keeping her away." Melissa said.

The Shiba was dressed similarly to the Akita though with a red coloring ever present on her gear.

"She'd love to keep you company while Todd is away on his "business trips"." Melissa said making air quotes. "She may be small, but I guarantee if you give her a strap-on she could entertain you for hours."

The thought was certainly a good one. She took a look at Huanggou, why couldn't she be more like this bitch? Huanggou for her part just pawed at the glass whimpering, seeming to like this dog as much as the one from before.

"What else do you have, she's cute, but I want to see all my options."

"As is your right. Your final option may be a bit different than what you think of when you hear Japanese dog, but I assure you she is a purebred." Melissa said.

At the word purebred Jackie let out a small moan, eager to see what was next.

As the Shiba left the room, Jackie was shocked to see another regal looking breed crawl in. This one had red hair unlike the traditional look the other two had, and seemed to be even bigger than the Akita. As Melissa showed off the her height with the same treat trick, Jackie was shocked to see her impressive six pack and the lovely gold, blue, and white color of her gear. A pair of brown ears topping her head.

"This beautiful girl is a Tosa. Also known as the Japanese fighting dog, Tosa's are crossbred between European and Japanese dogs to produce lovely specimens like this. Though traditionally used in highly controlled fighting tournaments, this bitch is a show dog. If you ever wanted to be the talk of the town all you would need to do was walk her down the block." Melissa said, eyeing Huanggou.

Huanggou seemed particularly interested in the Tosa, whimpering at the glass and licking Jackie's hand.

"I don't know why she's so excited. I'm trading her in for one of these bitches." Jackie said, pulling her hand away.

"I should let you know Jackie, you're fears are well founded. Todd is cheating on you." Melissa said.

"What do you mean!?" Jackie asked.

"The pound has many connections and your neighbor Mark is merely one of them. He saw how you had been treating Huanggou and he knew he had to send you to us."

"Why? Is this a betrayal?" Jackie asked suddenly scared.

"Oh goodness no! We would never! Here at the pound we only want purebreds and willing doggies. That's why I'm telling you." Melissa said petting Huanggou. "In fact, I'm offering you the deal of a lifetime. Take all the information we collected on Todd and divorce him."

"W-what, why? What do you have to gain?" Jackie asked concerned.

"For poor Huanggou's sake is why! Just look at her! It's obvious she needs a pack, and you've been taking your anger at Todd out on her. So I'm offering you a deal. Take the info, divorce Todd, and you get all 3 bitches. Free of charge, along with enough equipment to make Huanggou the beauty she was always meant to be!" Melissa said, grabbing Jackie on the shoulder. "What do you say?"
