Trooper stopped running, and sniffed the air. He ran over to the other pup he had smelled, and barked lightly. He noticed how scared she was so he didn't try to scare her more. He guessed from her size she was a couple of weeks old. Trooper whimpered slightly, feeling sorry for the pup, and guessing she had no parents. He wagged his tail, hoping Dawn would let her stay too, for his own brothers and sisters went off on their own. Trooper was the only one who stayed with his mother. Then the femme golden retriever, Dawn, walked slowly up to the pup, and barked, "Hello there little one." Her voice was calm, and loving, for she always had a soft spot for pups.

Belle sat by herself a moment, too busy sniffing the air for herself to notice the small intruder she was a little surprised Trooper had smelt the pup first but considering it was what had helped him find his mother she guessed it was probably good he hadn't forgotten yet.
Slowly she stood up and her body whipped around to follow her head as she leant backwards and in the direction of the new pup. As Belle drew closer she heard dawn say hello and wondered briefly who she was talking to until Belle came to stand beside Trooper then she could see for herself that they'd been joined by a scruffy little thing that looked like it needed a bath and a good feed.
Feeling slightly torn by the heart strings as Belle knew full well what it was like to live by yourself on the streets she moved in closer to curl around the pup and give her some warmth licking her gently on the ear in the hopes of removing some of the mess that the pup had accumulated. "Wanna play?" she asked wondering if the pup even had the energy to run around, it was hard knowing what to eat on the streets and this little one seemed to have avoided making those kind of decisions for awhile Belle wondered if she should go get something for it to eat but after her disastrous efforts earlier to find her own food she gave that option a miss and waited instead for the pup to answer Dawn or move away from her.

Feather flinched at the touch of Belle but made no attempt to back away. "Hello" she barked softly. Sensing that the dogs were friendly she lifted her head and began to wag her poor matted tail. "My... My name is Feather." she woofed with thought. Suddenly she stiffened and sniffed the wind. Lightning flashed amung the clouds that were comeing toward them. Feather started to shiver as she fought the instint that told her to flee. These dogs were nice and she didn't like being alone. Hearing her stomach grumble once more she stared at her stomach wanting it to stop showing her hunger. Containing it no more she whimpered and looked at Dawn, "I'm hungry, and scared." she leaned against Belle and whimpered.

Trooper sat down and wagged his tail as Belle came up behind him. He felt bad for the pup who had announced her name as Feather. He nodded and stayed near her, trying to be friendly. Dawn nodded at the pup and replied, "I will take care of you, all of you, do not worry." She nuzzled the pup, named Feather, with her soft fur rubbing the pup's. She decided it was time to hunt for the three pups, and so she said, "I think it is time I went hunting for you three." Dawn stood up and motioned for the pups to follow, for she did not want them to get lost.

Feather wagged her tail to Trooper with a twinkle in her eyes that haven't been expresed in her whole life, she learned the power of love. Still leaning against Belle Feather began to relax, she was content with her new family and wanted to make sure that Dawn or the other two never left her.Feather wiggled and her eyes brightened. She bounded after her new adopted mother. Clearly excited that she had a family Feather seemed to have a bounce in her step. "Where we going???" she barked with excitement.

Belle leapt up at the mention of food, she had completely forgotten she was hungry after all the weird and wonderous things to happen to her today. Now she hadn't just found a mother and a family but a new friend too overjoyed by these current events, and the fact that Dawn was about to get some food for them she bounded off after Dawn and Feather tackling Trooper on the way.
She rolled off Trooper and continued bounding after Dawn "Food, Food yummy Food" she sang as she went, trying her hardest not to trip over herself as she went as soon as she caught upto Feather though she looked back at Trooper to make sure he wasn't going to be left behind although somehow she didn't think he would be losing his mother again anytime soon.
Wagging her tail happily she barked at Trooper to hurry up, then ran off again circling feather this time. "My name's Belle...." Belle barked playfully, her bark was different to the others as it was more of a melodical baying sound instead of being a high pitched and sharp 'yark' noise it was more of a 'bow' sound but the happiness involved in her voice shone through as she finished circling Feather and ran off to join Dawn's back feet her ears flopping this way and that as she struggled to keep up the pace her big rounded feet were not exactly tailored for running but more for swimming and digging as she had webbed toes and a tummy that almost touched the ground with every bounce.

Dawn laughed and to Feather she said, "Were going to any place prey might hide." Then she sniffed a rabbit, and padded up carefully behind it. With a mighty leap, she had it, now it dangled from her jaws and she dropped it in front of the 3 pups. Then she barked "Here, share this you three." She panted from catching the rabbit, as she watched them eat.
Trooper barked excitedly and started to eat the rabbit, making sure to leave some for Feather and Belle to eat. His tail wagged as he just realized how hungry he had been.

Feather waited for Trooper to finish before she gulped down what her stomach would hold the left the rest to Belle. Feather seemed brighter and more alive than she was before they met. Quite clearly it overjoyed her that she had a family and she was going to keep it. Wagging her tail she bounced around Trooper and made a clumsy attempt to pounce on him, only to fall down right at his paws. Wagging her tail she jumped up again and started to chase a falling leaf.

Belle drooled with excitement when she laid eyes on the dead rabbit dangling from Dawn's mouth, and dashed over as quick as she could as rabbit was her favorite. Unfortunately, Trooper and Feather beat her there but there was still plenty of meat left for Belle to munch on. Snapping up a leg in her jaws Belle chewed hungrily tearing strips off and swallowing in a mad frenzy of gnashing teeth and flying droplets of spit, as she moved onto what was left of the rest of the rabbit she had been starving but now she was filling up quickly.
When at last she'd finished making a mess of the rabbit carcass and her floppy ears that seemed to have attracted just as much blood and chunks of meat as her face, she lay down next to the rabbits head and chewed playfully on its ears. Batting them occasionally with her over sized paws, she contentedly played with the remnants of the rabbit whilst digesting her food. When she suddenly saw Feather try and tackle Trooper out of the corner of her eye, she leapt up dragging the rabbits head over to them by the ears she eventually gave up on it as the dead weight of the head and skeleton was too much for her to carry and joined in the game.
She tackled feather first, then switched to playing with Troopers tail like she had the rabbits ears chewing a little more gently as she meant him no harm. Before returning to pounce on the rabbit like she was still hunting the dead animal before going back to chewing its ears yet again. She was beyond contented, past happiness... now she could focus on having a normal life playing and not worry about protecting herself from danger and finding her own food and a mother or some sort family to look after her because now she had one.

Trooper laid down after his meal, then he looked back to see Belle playing with his tail. He gently nipped one of her long ears and barked happily. Then he stood again, and gently leaped on Belle. He laid down by her, panting and watching Feather play with a leaf.
Dawn laid down and watched the pups happily play after their meal. She laid her head over one of her paws, enjoying her rest. She kept her eyes open and on the pups to make sure nothing would hurt them.

The soft wind ran it's fingers through my pelt. I tried to focus on the path before me, but my mind wandered dangerously. I stopped, knowing I had to collect my thoughts before I could continue. The scents hovered around me, my eyes squeezed shut. I could smell three dogs. Three. I tried to stay away from other dogs, yet I managed to find my way to three. It was ridiculous. I shuddered at the thoughts, and padded towards them. Their scent grew stronger as I approached. I was never a social animal, yet some urge inside me drew me to them. I padded up through the market alleys and along the empty streets, staying in the shadows. I came about 20 feet from them. I eased onto my haunches in the shadows. I watched them from a distance. It seemed that moments passed without any excitement, let alone danger, so I wandered up towards them. My eyes wandered between them, the small pup and the tan dog, and then the other pup. I didnt know what brought this on, this confronting other canines, my worst nightmare. I was standing tall, my tail high in dominance and my ears pricked and alert. My name is Hinder. The words were tight, not relaxed. May I ask why you seem to be so upset? uugh. I disgusted myself. So sympathetic, so...comforting...I watched them anxiously, my fur swaying in the breeze.

Dawn turned around at the sound of a new voice. She growled then calmed as she saw this other dog meant no harm. She replied, "Upset? No one is upset. My name is Dawn." She turned to the three pups and barked, "And they are Trooper, Belle and Feather... My pups." She looked back at Hinder, her eyes saying, 'touch them and you die.' Dawn didn't care if Belle and Feather were only her adopted pups, she would treat them as if they were Trooper's sisters, her daughters.
Trooper looked at the new dog and whimpered, hiding behind Belle. He curled up close to her, hiding from Hinder.

Feather took up the image of a snarling wolf. Something about this Hinder that didn't please Feather. Putting herself between Hinder and Belle, and Trooper she stood snarling viciously. Her guard hairs pointed toward the sky and her lips drawn back to show her sharp wolf fangs. She was anything but a pleasant sight to see. Her linege played part of this, though she never knew why it was just instinct that told her to snarl away the danger.

I glared at the Female. Perhaps she took my remark incorrectly. I shook my head and chuckled.
Oh, I am sorry.. I just, heard from a distance, a young pup whining. That is what I meant..
I shifted my weight to my other side. One of the pups began snarling and acting a fool. It was pathetic. Was it honestly trying to intimidate me? I scoffed at it and burst into a rawr of laughter.
Sorry to let you down pup, but to tell you the truth, I have faced far more frightening acts then the one you are playing part in.
I laughed again, and stood up, stretching my limbs.

Dawn growled at Hinder and said, "Well everything is OK now." She noticed Feather start snarling at the male dog. She turned back to him and growled, "So, I guess you should want to be leaving now. My pups don't seem to like you, and to be honest I never much trusted any male." Except Shadow she thought privately to herself. She looked at him, wanting to believe he wasn't a threat, but Feather and her snarling at him kept her from believing it. Her eyes studied him closely and she moved in front of the pups protectively.
Trooper noticed Feather stand in front of him and Belle, snarling at the male. He bravely stood up and stood beside her, feeling as if she were braver than him. He was too proud to act like a coward when Feather acted so bravely.
