Pumpkin is an island girl through and through but, unlike her wild cousins, she prefers to remain indoors. She enjoys air-conditioning, leftover tea every now and then, and feasting away on sunny-side up eggs. Her story is unique because not only does she reside in the Bahamas, but she also has decided to make Toffee and Oreo her lifelong friends, her sisters, mothers even. Toffee and Oreo are dogs, potcakes, to be precise, a Bahamian term used to describe mutts.

When the mother didnt return, every effort was made to ensure that the tiny creature would have a fighting chance. With the help of friends and vets, we took her in. In the first few days of her new life, she lived with a family that had cared for injured raccoons before, and that is where a little girl called Molly thoughtfully named her Pumpkin. We never looked back. Every day Pumpkin grew stronger and braver, and when she met Toffee and Oreo, they developed an instant bond. The dogs watched over and protected her, and it wasnt long before Pumpkin began to follow her two new friends everywhere, never wanting to leave their sides. It was a surprise to all of us to see these three misfits form such a beautiful connection. Oreo is like the mother, cuddling her and scolding her when she has had enough of Pumpkins bad behavior.
