Richard's POV: I remember the day I found Rocket he was just young pup when I found him he was abandoned by his original owner all because the original owner thought that he was a wolf because of the way he looked it angered me to the core I found him whining in an old abandoned shack a couple miles out of Lincoln County New Mexico he was hungry scared and tired when I found him I didn't really know a lot about dogs luckily Chavez did so I went to himChavez I need your help with something I said to him while we were inside of the barn
What do you need help with Richard? He asked as he was putting some things in his saddlebag
I found a little pup a couple miles out of Lincoln today and I don't know much about dogs and I was wondering if you could help me and take a look at the little guy I said
He sighed softly and looked at me shaking his head I knew that he thought I was an idiot for not knowing much about dogs but I never grew up around them so I wanted to make sure I'm doing what I think is right
Okay "where is he Richard? Chavez asked
Follow me I'll show you Chavez I said
We walked towards an empty horse stall where I had set little guy down for the time being when he saw Chavez he stood up wagging his little tail as if he was happy to see him
Kneel down Richard I heard Chavez say
Why Chavez? I asked
So he won't see you as a threat Chavez replied kneeled down
I sighed softly and did what Chavez told me to do I kneeled down beside him the young pup didn't move a muscle he just stood there quietly
Okay "now what? I asked
Offer your hand out towards him slowly though Richard Chavez said
I rolled my eyes and did what Chavez told me to do but when I did the pup backed up whining and shaking I looked back at Chavez who was shaking his head mumbling something in Spanish
Richard you moved too fast and frightened him you can't do that Chavez said
Well how do I get him to come towards me Chavez? I asked
You have to move slowly no sudden movements Chavez replied simply
I don't get it Chavez I told him
Okay watch Chavez sighed
I watched Chavez as he slowly gained the little pup's trust the young pup seemed to trust him as if he knows him I couldn't believe how well Chavez was able to calm that young pup down once Chavez got the young pup's trust he gently picked him up and held him to his chest petting him
You see Richard you see how I did that now you do the same thing here Chavez said handling the pup to me
I took the pup into my arms as I did he started whining as he was wanting Chavez who was standing in front of us with his usual normal look on his face his arms were folded in front of him
