When you first approach the small short-muzzled pup, the first thing you notice is the look in his eyes. They're the eyes of a wolf who has seen and lived through a centuries worth of horrors and joys.
The eyes of a pup who has lived far longer than they're supposed to, and knows much more than they let on.
Despite the unease you feel, you walk towards the small pup when he beckons you forward and take a seat in front of him. He offers a lopsided grin and begins to tell you a story.
