Lala had always been stylish in her own way—whether it was a cute bow, a cozy hoodie, or a soft blanket draped just right. So when a shiny new outfit arrived, wrapped in pastel paper and tied with ribbon, her eyes lit up with joy.
It was a gift from CEO Kien: a beautiful pink-and-white dress with little ruffles and golden buttons. Lala barked softly with excitement as Kien laid it out.
“You like it?” he asked.
She gave an enthusiastic spin and wagged her tail. She loved it.
But the moment he tried to help her into it, they both paused. The dress slipped off her shoulder. Then the sleeve drooped. Then the whole thing swirled around her like a giant curtain.
“Oh no,” Kien laughed. “I think it’s a little too big!”
Lala looked down at herself, then back up with the tiniest pout.
Not to worry—she knew exactly who to turn to.
Within minutes, she trotted off in search of Thuy, who was folding laundry nearby. She gently tugged at the edge of the dress with her teeth, then looked up with wide, pleading eyes.
Thuy knelt down, smiling. “Need a little help, fashion queen?”
She grabbed a tiny sewing kit and sat with Lala in her lap, gently pinning the fabric here and there, adjusting the straps, trimming the hem just enough.
“There,” she said finally. “Perfect fit.”
When Lala stood up and twirled, the dress fit like it was made just for her. She ran to the mirror, gave a happy bark, and then hugged Thuy with her whole body.
Because sometimes, the best outfits don’t come off the rack—they come with love, laughter, and a friend who knows exactly how to make you feel beautiful.
