Mr.helpful

by @franciferrer

Crowdy street. People going places. Coffee shops open and busy. Like the air in this city its so dense, here he goes mr.helpful, wherever he goes he helps out, cos he gets a thrill out of it. Smiling humming, he's over joyed today, seems like he's going to get a raise in pay. He does his usual stuff, picking stray bottles and moves them to the nearest trashbins, nudges people to not litter. All he gets as replies are , get lost, you can't clean this whole city. he replies I can't, but we can. And walks away singing to himself. Looks like nothing can't go wrong today. Right?

He gotto go a few blocks away in this hastefull city he passes an alley, something catches his ear he finds a stray dog, a little lap dog type, very fluffy and cute dog, he found the little dogs leash hooked onto something and the little fellow is quite unhappy about it, you can hear it from his cute and sad whining, the dog was very happy that he came to rescue him. , aww what is your name little fluff?.... No where on your leash is an id to be found.... Oh well... He said... You must be hungry ill take you to the nearest place where I could feed you and call the right people so you could find your owner.
Poor little thing who knows what could have happened with you unless I'd wouldn't come along.

Little dog has very small feet and he's tired, can't walk much so he is taking him in his hands.... The little fluff tries to kiss the big helper.mr helpful sees a place, where he can leave the fluff. A nice store with an old lady owner who would gladly help to feed and shelter him for the time being. She brings him some nice food, dog respects that. But as the dog is cute fluff he is also.a naughty one... While they are talking about the dog,, the dog decides to walk around the counter and outside of the store as the client came in. Dog walking by peoples feet long stretch of sidewalk, then the dog walks past a sleeping bum on the crossroads. The old lady told Mr.helpful that she had seen someone to put up a poster on the pole not far from here she will contact with the owner and everything will be OK with the little fluffball.

But oh no... They find the fluffball gone. Where could he have disappeared???? Mr.helpful Rushes out of the store and asks everyone if they have seen a dog this big and very fluffy, one said that he has, , then mr.helpful had to run back past the store again... And then more people have seen the little fluff.
But .... There is a problem now, a crossroads. Now it would be impossible to know where the dog went. Arrghh mr helpful is a little frustrated... But he keeps his spirit. He says think ... Think,.. Whistl looking around.

He sees a homeless man . Right! he will know where the dog went . Excuse me mr? Mr.knowitall Is my name homeless man interjects. Have you by any chance seen a dog running by? A what? Mr knowitall asks.... A dog it was this big. And very fluffy you can't miss it.... Oh right... I've seen him... But. It will not come cheap... People like me... I need to survive you know its dangerous out here on the streets..... Right I do know what you mean. How much do you want.? 20 bucks... Quickly interjects the homeless man. Mr helpful got his eyes so big he couldn't believe 20 bucks really? Ay man if you don't have it get lost. Right! Ill give you the 20 bucks... They are right here in my wallet. Mr helpful checks his wallet awww not again..... I left my money on the dining table I wanted to put the money in my wallet..... homeless man angrily says"YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH THAT MAN" Dissapointed shrug .... And a sigh....

desperate times begs for desperate actions.

Hmmm think THINK mr helpful. aHa! This is crazy but it might work. He starts to yell on a busy street that he needs money. I NEED MONEY! I NEED MONEY this continues well over 3 minutes.. People hands him more than 50 dollars just so he would shut up. The homeless man says "amazing. That's amazing man!." Mr.helpful Hands him all the money. Tell me where the dog went.

feeling lucky

The homeless man takes a lucky guess and points mr.helpfull that way. Mr helpful runs wasting no time... Spent a few mins running. He finds the fluff at the nearest pet store door. Checking out other fluff dogs behind the glass. it looks he is interested in a certain fluff in there. Mr helpful picks him up. is there something interesting in there you little fluff? Looks at the glass window notices something, in the reflection on the window he turns around, there is the pole with the fluffs picture. And address and a phone number. "That's you!, oh this is so near" his mind is fixed on the dog, his mission is clear. He Walks with the dog but the dog drags his feet he doesn't want to go...so Mr.helpful Takes the dog in hands and walks on ahead. Mr.helpful Delivers the dog to the owner's house thumbs the doorbell and waits.

timeout

The door opens. as Mr. Helpful checking out the house front. "WOW you found him! The dog barks .The owner is a cute lady, And rushes into the owner hands. She gently reaches out her hand, and says "hi, IM Ms.Lovely, thank you for finding my ,mr.fluff." mr.helpful interjects. So your name is Fluff after all. Greeting her hand. Right would you like to have a tea? Sure but then I must be going to work. I am a little late. They sat down in her living rooms couch. He says I should have know that such a cute dog would have such a lovely owner. Ms.Lovely is smiling and blushing. She asks so where did you found mr.fluff? In the alley not far from here. You know you could have some kind of id on him so he would be found faster.... Right . Interjects ms.Lovely... I wanted to do it.... I seemed to forget about it... I will do it this evening. I feel so bad about this.... Cos this is not the first time...... She says....

what happened once is bound to happen again

Not the first time? He asks....
"Right I had another dog it disappeared a week ago... I couldn't find him I've given up all hopes.... Hey cheer up you will find him I know you will.
She interjects "its her...'"
"oh her I see...." he nods
2 weeks ago ms fluffy had her paw painted in ink I must have been too harsh to her... she ruined my sketches.... ahh these dogs are very naughty by nature. He interjects right! I know it. He ran away from the store. I thought I would not catch up to him. he is very fast despite his littleness.
oh I see she says. IM so happy that I have at least one oh them but mr fluff is very sad every day. Right mr fluff? No answer he's probably in his bed little rascal ,he must be so tired. I was so worried about him...

the Talking is over or was it the tea. Mr.helpful Is about to go to his business but it is too quiet, Ms.Lovely looks around but the mr.fluff is not in his place, both of them can hear someone horning in the street and yelling WHOSE DOG IS THIS!!!!, they look at each other.
she bolts up OH NO!... I forgot to close the window! they rush to the window. Ms.Lovely Is so worried. She doesn't know what to do when she's so nervous... "that naughty DOG! he ran away again.... will i never have peace?" Mr helpful, that dog is quite resourceful... very admirable, jumping out of a 70cm heights. thinking aloud, as he inspects the window aisle. but he's attention goes to the matter at hand Ms. Lovely is in distress.
Mr.helpfull Is calming her down. I know where he'll be. He takes her hand. Lets go!, as he opens the door for her to show the way.
