To her credit, Gracie did manage to get Toffee's attention again. Unfortunately, both he and his new friend were now feeling too excited and energetic to listen to much else. They both ran circles around the survivor, jumping up on her for affection and randomly licking at her hands or face. Her rescue came in the form of a woman's voice several yards away. "Zeppo! Leave that poor girl alone!" Looking up, Gracie could see that the German shepherd's companion was about a decade her senior, though she wore those years very lightly. Sure enough, the other dog spun around and bounded toward her, only to be greeted with a welcoming hug and some vigorous petting.<br/><br/>Once both canines had calmed down a little, the kind-faced stranger approached Gracie with a rather apologetic look. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't know there were any other dogs around here, so I usually just let him run around until dinner time." She extended her hand politely and made her introduction. "I'm Anne, by the way. Are you new here?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Anne</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/UokFkR7.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Zeppo</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/bYHx6K7.png)</div></div>
