СКАЧАТЬ accepted that he, being like he is, lacked the strength. After a brief moment of thought, he remembered something Remi once told him.

      «A lever!» Alex exclaimed. «Fetch that stick!»

      Nei brought the broken piece of a mop in his teeth, and Alex used it as a lever on the handle. With a little pressure, the door finally opened. Within seconds, a real treasure appeared before Alex and Nei, judging by their expressions.

      «Look how big it is!» Nei exclaimed, seeing a massive piece of ham right in the middle of the refrigerated room.

      Saying this, Nei immediately rushed towards the ham, biting onto the huge salty pork leg and pulling it out of the fridge. Meanwhile, Alex had the idea to roll a metal cart to the heavy piece of meat.

      «Yes, you’re right! This will work better,» Nei said, surprised to see Alex with the cart.

      «I knew you’d like it!» Alex replied.

      After managing to load the meat onto the cart, they swiftly rolled it out of the office.

      «Are you serious?» Tucker asked, seeing this.

      «Inform the others quickly!» Nei told Tucker.

      «Well, as you say!» Tucker said and ran to the main entrance of the store.

      «Can you handle this cart?» Nei asked Alex.

      As usual, Alex remained unperturbed and replied, «Of course!»

      «Then let’s go!» Nei added. «We’ll amuse them a bit more here and catch up with you later!»

      Alex naively nodded his head, grabbing the cart with both hands and ran away from the store, rolling the cart in front of him. Nei headed towards his companions.

      Alex’s joy knew no bounds. Although Remi taught him that stealing is wrong, he managed to complete an extremely challenging task and even helped others like him – the homeless dogs. To his surprise, it warmed his heart. So, he joyfully rolled the cart with ham through the street, surprising passersby. Soon, his furry friends caught up with him.

      «You did great!» Boll said, running up to the boy.

      «What a huge piece…» Max commented. «And this little guy is not bad at all!»

      «That’s true!» Nei added.

      «Have you started drooling, Max?» Boll teased. «I remember you’ve already had your meal, so don’t think you’ll get an extra portion for your special talents.»

      «Has Max had lunch?» Alex asked.

      «Yeah!» Boll confirmed.

      «Anyway, if we cook this together with porridge, it’ll be enough for all of us,» Alex suggested. «Let’s celebrate our victory today and feast to our heart’s content.»

      «Well, okay…» Boll agreed. «Your plan is not bad either!»

      «What’s your name, little guy?» Nei asked.

      «Grandpa Remi named me Alex!»

      «Alex!» one of the dogs said.

      «Alex!» another one repeated.

      «Alex, Alex, Alex…» echoed every dog around him.

      «What’s going on with them?» the boy asked.

      «Initiation into our pack…» Nei replied. «Now you’re a member!»

      «And are you my leader?» Alex asked with a grin.

      «Exactly!» replied Nei.

      After that, Alex burst into laughter. The sight of a boy rolling a cart with a massive piece of ham through the streets of a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood surrounded by a pack of stray dogs was quite an amusing picture for the people they encountered on their way. Among these people were those who could be called real bandits, but even they dared not say a word to the boy, as no one wanted to deal with a pack of stray dogs. When they returned to the basement, it turned out that Spike and his team of hunters also managed to catch a whole beaver, which made the pack members even happier. However, Spike was a bit disappointed as the ham obtained by Nei’s team turned out to be larger than his catch. However, all grievances and troubles were forgotten when Alex, as promised, organized a feast for his furry friends.

      From that point on, the life of little Alex slowly but surely began to improve. Occasionally, he and his pack embarked on similar adventures to procure various meat products, which improved over time. They sometimes even managed to get grains for free – the key was knowing where and when. And, of course, the pack never forgot about hunting. All this eventually allowed the dog pack to no longer feel the need for food and live a relatively happy and satisfied life. Alex decided not only to be content with what he had but also to give something to those who, in his opinion, might still need it. Often, the entire pack couldn’t finish all the food they acquired before it spoiled, considering that each pack member typically consumed the meat along with porridge. However, Alex tried to engage in such charity exclusively in the morning, when all the wandering people and animals were still asleep. This was necessary to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and potential problems. For all those whom little Alex helped in this way, the mysterious benefactor remained unknown. For a long time, Alex and his pack lived free from any hardships, but one day everything changed.

      After another hunt organized by Nei, Alex arranged a real feast not just for friends but for his family, and the whole pack gathered in their warm basement for this grand dinner in the evening.

      «And Alex isn’t that bad at hunting for a human!» Boll said with a smile.

      «He’d make a good dog out of him,» another dog added, munching on something.

      «I don’t know about you, but I think his hunting achievements today still can’t compare to what our Alex did a couple of weeks ago. Imagine biting that human on the hand so he drops the gun, allowing those weak people to escape. I just can’t forget that…» said the dog sitting next to the leader.

      «I just did what you guys taught me…» Alex replied, after which some dogs burst into laughter together.

      «Little guy has a real passion for good deeds,» Spike said as the dogs laughed. «One moment, he’s sharing his food with everyone, and the next, he’s saving people from other people…»

      «I still can’t believe that such things are still happening on the streets of our city,» Nei said. «I remember being told that in five years, the police would completely eradicate such manifestations of crime in the city. And there was a time when I believed it…»

      «Are you reminiscing about your police stories again, Nei?» Boll asked with a smile.

      «Well, how can I not remember?..» Nei replied.

      «I didn’t know that Max is also good at hunting,» Alex remarked.

      «I’ve had this talent since childhood,» Max replied with a smile. «I just happen to be even better at begging for food from people!» he added and burst into laughter.
