Once a year, the neighborhood held a dog potluck where every household brought their dogs to enjoy each other’s company and food. Cooper, a fluffy Bichon Frise and Abbey, a sprightly Dachshund were the best of friends and had been looking forward to the potluck for weeks.

On the day of the potluck, Cooper and Abbey trotted eagerly into the yard, sniffing out the different smells coming from each dish. They were greeted by Presley, the host, who had set up chairs and tables for the human visitors. Presley’s own dog, a golden retriever named Bella, was there to greet them, flanked by another dog, a Great Dane named Zeus, who was dressed in a white toga.

Presley explained that Zeus and Bella were the “guardian angels” of the event, tasked with making sure everyone was safe and happy. Cooper and Abbey were fascinated by the idea and wanted to meet them right away. Bella welcomed them warmly and Zeus gave a nod of approval.

Soon, all the dogs were eating and mingling, their owners chatting away. Cooper and Abbey were happy to see so many of their friends, including a pair of Shih Tzus who were wearing matching sweaters and a bulldog who had brought his own frisbee.

As the afternoon wore on, the dogs started acting more and more like humans. The bulldog was telling jokes and everyone was laughing, the Shih Tzus were dancing to the music, and even Cooper and Abbey were chatting away about their favorite toys.

Presley was amazed to see the dogs acting like humans and she couldn’t help but smile. Suddenly, she noticed something strange in the sky. Zeus and Bella had begun to glow, and their white togas had turned into beautiful wings. They explained that they were angel dogs and had been sent to bless the gathering.

The dogs all cheered, and Cooper and Abbey couldn’t stop wagging their tails in excitement. As the sun began to set, the dogs and their owners said their goodbyes and headed home. Cooper and Abbey were exhausted from all the excitement, but they couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had.

From that day on, Cooper and Abbey made it a point to attend every dog potluck, always hoping that Zeus and Bella would make an appearance again. And even though they didn’t always act like humans, they knew that they were always in for a good time.
