Write a story about a shy puppy who learns to make new friends and overcome his fears.

Once upon a time, there was a shy little puppy named Puddles. Puddles was a sweet and cuddly puppy, but he was very shy and often felt scared when he was around new people or other animals.

One sunny day, Puddles was playing in the park when he saw a group of dogs playing together. Puddles really wanted to play with them, but he felt too shy to go up to them. Instead, he sat by himself and watched from afar.

As Puddles was watching, a little girl came over and sat down next to him. She asked if he wanted to play, but Puddles was too shy to respond. The little girl could see that Puddles was scared and decided to help him make new friends.

She slowly introduced Puddles to the other dogs and helped him feel more comfortable around them. Before he knew it, Puddles was running and playing with all of his new friends.

Over time, Puddles became more confident and less shy. He learned that it was okay to be scared sometimes, and that it was important to ask for help when he needed it.

From that day forward, Puddles was always happy to make new friends and play with others. He had learned that there was nothing to be afraid of, and that making new friends was a lot of fun.

And so, Puddles lived happily ever after, surrounded by his many new friends.
