Molly's floppy ears drooped as Master and Mistress carried boxes into their new home. Everything smelled different in this neighborhood, and Molly didn't know where to play. She curled up on her new bed, missing her old yard and the familiar smells.

The next morning, Molly heard a happy bark from next door. She peeked through the fence and saw a fluffy Bernese puppy wagging his tail. "I'm Max! Want to be friends?" he woofed cheerfully. Molly's tail began to wag for the first time since moving day.

When Mistress took Molly for a walk, they met Max and his family at the park. "I know all the best spots!" Max bounded ahead, showing Molly the perfect digging corner. They chased butterflies and rolled in the grass until their bandanas came loose.

That evening, Molly watched Master and Mistress unpack from her bed. She wasn't scared of the new house anymore, not with Max next door. Tomorrow would bring more adventures with her new best friend. Molly closed her eyes, dreaming of all the fun they would have.
