After serving her country in the United States Army, Jo packed up her car and left Texas. She wasn't entirely sure what the future held, all she knew was that it was time to come home. She and Koda, her Catahoula with a heart as big as his paws, made the long journey East. The Cape was quiet in the off season, a stark contrast to the dusty heat of Texas. But Jo didn't mind. Neither did Koda, who seemed to adapt to the ocean breeze and sand under his paws with natural ease. Jo returned to a job at a small family-owned dry cleaners in East Harwich. Jiffy Cleaners had been around for decades.-it's sign was faded, but the service was pristine. The owner, Bev, ran it with the kind of pride that made even the smallest task feel important. Jo took to the work fast. Pressing shirts, organizing orders, and learning the ins and outs of steamers and starch. But it wasn't just her work ethic that made her a favorite- it was Koda. Every morning, Jo would unlock the front door at 8AM sharp and Koda would trot in like he owned the place. He had a special bed behind the counter, but he rarely stayed in it. Instead, he greeted every customer with a wagging tail and soft eyes, nudging hands for pets and brightening even the dreariest mornings. "He's like a little mayor," Bev would say, shaking her head fondly as yet another regular brought Koda a treat. People started stopping in even when they didn't need cleaning done- just to say hi to Koda. He became something of a local celebrity. Through it all, Jo quietly nurtured a dream. Bev was getting older, and while she never said it outright, Jo could feel the question lingering in the air: would Jo want to take over one day? The answer was always yes. She loved the work. She loved the rhythm. She loved the way Koda fit into the heartbeat of this little business. The dream wasn't flashy, but it was real. Solid. Built from the same things that made this town feel like home again- familiarity, warmth, and a dog that wagged it's tail like it was his full time job. One evening, as the sun dipped below the dunes and Jo flipped the "closed" sign, she looked down at Koda who sat patiently at the door. "You ready to head home, Boss?" Jo asked. Koda barked once, softly, like he understood. Maybe he did. And as they stepped out into the salty air, Jo knew one thing for sure- Koda Cleaners didn't just have a future. It had a soul. And that soul, most days, had four legs and a greyish coat.
