Once upon a time, there was a corgi named Cooper.

He was always the smallest in the pack.

He would go to the local amusement park with the big dogs, but they would always laugh at him because of his size and do things without him.

Like, he was always there…a little lower…but he never really felt included.

Every day he would just try and keep up but often got left behind.

Until one day, he got left too far behind and locked in the amusement park all by himself.

Cooper was…scared.

But then he saw something!

An exit! He’ll be free!

Not an exit, not an exit, not an exit! Darn you flashing neon light signs!!!!

Cooper is definitely…sad now that he knows there’s no way out. But then he sees something!

The rollercoaster he’s always wanted to do is still running!

That really worked up an appetite.

AHH! BIG DOGS!

(Scared) Eeeee….

Just stuffed animals. Cooper’s got this.

**awkward**

Cooper even got to try on his favorite souvenir the big dogs always laughed at him for liking.

Until finally the sun came up and it was time for the park to open again.

The big dogs came strolling in.

"Hey, Mini Coop - how’d you get here so early?"

"I’ve been here all night. You didn’t notice I was gone?"

"That would require us to notice you ever! Ha ha ha!"

Something changes in Cooper.

"Well, you should know I stayed here ALL night by myself. I rode the rollercoasters, ate ALL the snacks, AND did everything you guys do all the time. BY MYSELF.

"Wait…you did the rollercoaster…alone?"

"Yeah…"

"I mean, I LOVE the rollercoaster, but I could never do it alone!"

"Yeah, same!"

"Did you do the spinning strawberries!? I looove the spinnies!"

"Those are for puppies!"

"Yeah, but…we were puppies once and I always loved them…"

"I’ll go on the strawberries with you!"

"Okay!"

"Me too!"

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Sorry…but I guess sometimes the cool thing to do is what you want to do! Not what you think you’re supposed to do just to be cool and fit in."

The dogs start to leave.

"Wait, I like the spinnies too! I doo!"

And ever since then, all the dogs had so much fun at the amusement park together.

Even on the spinnies.

Even at the house of the exorcist.

Well, maybe we will just skip that one next time. It is pretty scary.
