Poodle and The Stray
I.
Penelope had always lived a life of luxury. She had grown up in a grand house with a loving family who doted on her every whim. From her soft, velvety bed to her personalized gourmet meals, everything in her life had been carefully curated for her comfort and happiness. She had never known want or hunger, and the thought of having to fend for herself was utterly foreign to her.
