A slight breeze brisked past the trees. Causing the leaves to rustle. The sun shone overhead, glaring down at the city. The temperature in the city during the summer was extreme but one could get used to it. Maybe. A prize in this city is knowing where water is. Thats one thing I didn't know.
My tri-colored pelt glided easily across the ground. My white toed paws kissed the ground as I moved forward. My ears pricked forward listening for any sign of noise. While my ice blue eyes scanned for any sign of movement.
The only reason I was here was because I chased that damn squirrel under the city wall. I didn't even catch it. Pity really. I caught food before but they were mostly sick animals. Plus I wasn't even taught how to hunt and I was fed by humans so why would I want to learn to hunt? I stopped padding while my stomach growled. Cursing myself for being pitiful. I shook my head. Then it accrued to me. I could chase rabbits! With that thought I raced away. Just before I decided to leap over a bush came a rabbit. I crashed into it and held it down with a paw.
Sweet victory! Okay it was an unexpected victory but hey at least I finally got a meal. I plopped down beside the rabbit and tore into it. Spitting out all the fur that plastered itself to my tongue hiding the taste of rabbit meat. Once I got all the fur off I began eating. Chewing with every mouthful I took. Savoring the taste. I ate everything except the fur.
Giving myself a licking to get rid of the blood that clung to my paws and muzzle. My mum told me it was a "no-no" to keep blood on your face and paws. As strange as it was I did somewhat believe that she was right. Though I would never go back to their life on the ranch. It wasn't me. I hoped they understood.
I wanted to belong to something. The life my parents had wasn't meant for me. Being free with out being called in to watch the cattle while the humans slept wasn't me, or what I wanted to do with my life. When I came here I felt new and at home. Weird feeling for me anyways. My hopes was to be accepted into a pack. Become well known and feared and then have pups. I wanted to be a big shot and hopefully when I get enough experience become alpha like. That would be a long way off.
I sighed and pushed myself to all fours and padded onward. A new scent tickled my nose and I stopped. The smell was close, I began searching for the canine that the smell was coming from. It smelled of power. Crisp and tanged with musk. Must be a male, I wonder if its the alpha male. Nah why would he be around here for. What on earth would I do it was him. I shivered at the thought of being ripped apart because I trespassed. Though I wouldn't call it trespass. I intended to join the ranks of this mighty pack.
"Hello?" I asked tipping my head to the side. My long furred coat glistened in the sun light showing how well groomed it was. Even for a stray as humans called it. I preferred the term wild dog rather than stray. Strays in my mind lived with humans and picking out of garbage cans for food. Us wild dogs hunt and fight for our food. Though I am still new to this whole wild dog thing I couldn't bare to call myself a stray let alone a pampered pet because I wasn't either of those. No body will ever call me those things. EVER!!!
