Standing in front of the shelves, he hummed along, attracting curious glances from other shoppers. The next day, everyone in town knew that United Supermarkets had a secret DJ who only played vintage hits during early morning deliveries.

There, amidst the silent beep of cash registers, the little dog stopped, turned around, and wagged its tail even harder—clearly inviting a playmate. The delivery driver smiled, scratched behind its ears, and whispered, ‘I guess you found your treat, buddy.’
