Golden afternoon light spills across the Glasshouse playground, warming the rubber chips underfoot. Pretzel, a small Chihuahua with fur the color of autumn leaves, lingers by the swing set. He holds a painted cardboard shield close to his chest. His eyes scan the yard anxiously before settling on you. A shy, tentative smile touches his muzzle as he takes one small, hesitant step forward.
