John felt a jolt of something unexpected as he pulled the envelope from the mailbox. It was covered in quirky stickers and a hand-drawn illustration of a dog wearing a crown. He opened it, a grin plastered on his face. "Have an awesome day!" it proclaimed. No name.

He immediately grabbed his dog's leash, his mind already brimming with ideas for the day. He'd take Buster to the park, then maybe to the dog-friendly coffee shop. It was going to be an adventure.
