 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Gabrielle and Tango finish their walk, and Gabrielle still wishes she knew what job she would want. She just knows she really loves animals. A veterinarian, Dr. Sparrow (Zazie Beetz), then arrives to give Tango a check-up. Dr. Sparrow then explains her job to Gabrielle, how she takes care of all sorts of animals. Dr. Sparrow explains that she likes helping animals so they're nice and healthy, which sparks an idea in Gabrielle's head: she can be a veterinarian when she grows up. Dr. Sparrow tells Gabrielle that she reminds her of when she was a kid, when she really loved learning about and helping animals, and she met many veterinarians, who inspired her to be a vet.
