Chapter Summary[]

Lucky's Point of View[]
Lucky suddenly remembers his litter-sister, Squeak. Squeak says she has a new name, Bella, and Lucky says that her name sounds beautiful. A small, pretty, white dog snorts a laugh, and Lucky notices all of the dogs look very nice and don't look like strays.
Lucky tells Bella that he has a new name too, Lucky. Lucky greets the other dogs but they don't respond. A big dog stares at Lucky's meat and Bella jokes he is always thinking of food. Lucky is confused since a dog needs to think of food to survive.
Just then, Lucky realizes that the dogs are Leashed Dogs, and he is astounded that these dogs have survived without their longpaws. He shares the meat with them, thinking that it is all that they could eat since they can't hunt.
Lucky talks to Bella as they eat, and Bella explains the different breeds of dogs to Lucky and tells him their names. The dogs are all sorts of sizes; Martha is huge while Sunshine is small. Then Lucky wonders who the Alpha of the Pack is.

Just then Sunshine discovers she had hurt her paw. Sunshine goes hysterical and soon the other dogs join in. Lucky calms the dogs down and looks at Sunshine's paw. He shows her how to clean it by licking at it.

All the dogs are amazed and they look at Lucky with respect. Lucky does not want to be their Alpha so he ran off and left them. When Lucky gets to the mall door he sees lightning. Lucky is very scared of lightning. Bella meets him and asks him to stay. Lucky agrees to stay for a little while longer.

When he and Bella get back to the pack all the dogs begin to play-fight. The Leashed Dogs do not seem to have a care in the world. Soon the dogs become very tired and prepare to fall asleep. When Lucky circles the ground ready to lie down, Bella asks what he was doing. Lucky is surprised she does not do the circle ritual.

Bella tells Lucky about her Longpaws, how before the Big Growl came the Longpaws left without her. Lucky feels bad for her, but Bella isn't very hurt by her betrayal. Bella asks Lucky what happened to him after they had a Pup Pack. Lucky tells her about his Longpaws. The little ones wouldn't leave him alone and tired him. The big one smelled bad and kicked him a lot. One day the door was open and he ran away.

Bella tells him about the story of Wind, a story their Mother-Dog used to tell them. Wind was an Omega and when the Storm of Dogs came she fled her pack. She was a Lone Dog for the rest of her life. Bella said that reminds her of Lucky.

Lucky falls asleep and when he wakes up the rain is cleared up. Sunshine says that it is time to go back home. When Lucky is confused the dogs explain that, even though they didn't have their Longpaws, they still lived at their homes. After some pleading, Lucky agrees to go with them.
