    Seven Dalmatians … and Lucas! - A.P. Hernández

    CHAPTER 1

    Dalmatians are amazing dogs.

    In fact, they’re SUPER WONDERFUL dogs.

    If you don’t agree, tell Gabriela.

    Throughout her life, Gabriela has always had Dalmatians. In fact, when she was born, there was already a Dalmatian at home waiting for her. His name was Pombi, and he was her father’s pet. Pombi was almost like a brother to Gabriela: they played together, did homework together, went for walks in the park together, and even ate together.

    At lunchtime, Pombi would sit discreetly next to Gabriela and, when her parents weren’t looking, she would sneak him some food. Chicken breast was his favorite, although, of course, her parents didn’t know that. It was a secret between the two of them. A secret between best friends.

    You could say Gabriela fell in love with Dalmatians, and ever since then she’s always been surrounded by these wonderful dogs.

    Pombi was only the first of many. After him there was Luna, then Odin, Julia and, finally, two Dalmatians together: Max and Lara.

    Gabriela’s fifty years old now. She’s a schoolteacher; Max and Lara are like her children. They’re huge, extremely spoiled Dalmatians. They have all the luxuries dogs could wish for: warm sweaters so they won’t get cold in winter; headbands with reindeer antlers; a fountain that provides them with water; a toy chicken; seven tennis balls; a huge bed to sleep in; and a dog sitter.

    Yes, you heard correctly.

    Gabriela’s Dalmatians have a dog sitter!

    Since Gabriela works every morning, she has hired a caregiver for her two fur babies, so they aren’t left alone.

    Her name’s Juana and she walks them every morning. She takes them to the park so they can play with their dog friends.

    They have such a good time!

    They chase each other around for a while then wallow on the lawn, lying on the fresh grass and enjoying the warm sunshine.

    CHAPTER 2

    Today Gabriela’s very nervous.

    She’s even biting her nails and she has never bitten her nails in her life before.

    Today’s a very special day; a very important day even.

    Gabriela has everything ready, but José Luis hasn’t arrived yet and that makes her nervous. She can’t wait any longer, so she grabs her cell phone and goes to her contact list. She realizes her fingers are shaking but she doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter. She needs to call José Luis. As soon as possible.

    Gabriela scrolls through the list of contacts on her cell phone and, after a few seconds, finds the one she’s looking for:

    JOSÉ LUIS, VETERINARIAN

    She quickly presses the green call button and puts the phone up to her ear. She waits a few seconds until she finally hears José Luis’ voice.

    Hi Gabriela, I’m already—

    You must come quickly! she interrupts him. For goodness’ sake, José Luis, you need to come now!

    I’m in the car, he informs her, but stuck in a traffic jam. I’ll be a few more minutes—

    I think it’s about to start. Gabriela bites her nails. Come as soon as you can, please.
