            The biggest dog Rohan had ever seen was barreling toward them! It was pulling a teenage girl behind it. The dog had fluffy brown and white fur and a huge brown nose. Drool dripped from its open mouth, filled with huge, pointy teeth. Rohan froze.
            “Tiny! Stop it!” called the girl. She pulled on the dog’s leash, and finally got the dog to stop. “Sit!” she said.
            The dog sat right in front of Rohan's sister Kavya.
            “Oh, can I pet the doggy?” Kavya asked.
            “Sure,” said the girl. “I’m Amanda, and this is Tiny. He’s very friendly. He’s just a puppy, so he sometimes wants to run too fast.”
            That enormous dog was a puppy? Rohan couldn’t imagine how big it would be when it was full-grown.
            “Let him sniff your hand, like this,” Mom said, showing Kavya what to do.
            Kavya reached out, and Tiny sniffed her hand. “Oh! Tiny kissed me,” she said, giggling. She petted the dog’s enormous head. “Good doggy.”
            “Do you have to walk Tiny every day?” Rohan asked while Mom and Dad petted the dog, too.
            “Three or four times a day,” said Amanda. She laughed. “He has a lot of energy.”
            “I’ll bet,” Dad said. “Want to pet him, Rohan?”
            Rohan rubbed the base of this thumb. “You sure it’s safe?” he asked Amanda.
            “Definitely,” she said.
            Rohan held out his hand for the dog to sniff. He closed his eyes as the huge mouth came close.
         The dog touched Rohan’s hand with its wet nose, and Rohan opened an eye. He reached out his finger and brushed Tiny’s head before drawing his hand back again.
         That wasn’t that hard.
            Now Rohan knew how he could raise money for the school garden. Now hHe just needed to turn his idea into a plan.
