The Secret Life of a White Family in the Woods

Joy and Natalie had tried every way they knew to entertain themselves in the woods. For their first wish, they kept it simple: They wished for a dog. The next morning Joy was arguing with her brother over who had to wash the dishes piled in the cabin's tiny sink when she heard a happy bark outside. A black and white dog coat a bit muddy as if just maybe it had crawled out of the wishing pool was running in circles around Natalie. Lucky fetched sticks no matter how far they threw them, helped them sniff out rabbit holes, barked protectively at any strange rustlings; made everything ten times more fun.
