When Calvin and Paige found out, Max was snoozing on his back, and Cory was sound asleep next to him.
Paige was taken aback by the scene.
She remembered when Cory was still a little kid, and she took him to a coffee shop to buy cupcakes. A woman walked by with her dog, and Cory had a severe allergic reaction, having trouble breathing.
She immediately scooped up Cory, while Calvin picked up the snoozing Max.
"Cory, are you okay? Don't be scared, we'll go home and you can take your allergy pill!" Paige said, about to carry Cory back home.
"Paige, you can't carry me!" Cory woke up and quickly shouted, "You're pregnant!"
Only then did Calvin snap back to reality and he quickly went to take Cory.
Cory didn't know what had happened. "What's up? Why are you guys so tense?"
"Max was just sleeping next to you, his paw was even on you!" Paige said anxiously.
Cory looked at Max.
The dog seemed to know it had caused trouble, whining softly as it lay on the ground.
"But I'm fine." Cory lifted his arm, no red marks from allergies, no signs of breathing difficulties.
"Really, you're okay?" Paige was shocked.
That day Cory didn't even touch the dog.
"Hmm." Cory seemed thoughtful and turned to walk towards Max.
Max wiggled his butt and slowly backed away, trying to gauge Paige and Calvin's reactions.
"It's okay, let me pet you." Cory was very gentle.
Max hesitated, then moved his paw and closed his eyes, slowly pressing his snout into Cory's palm.
