The Dog Cried, and He Was Surprised When He Realized What He Had Given Birth To

Sanctuary and Safety

Shaking off disbelief, he could pick his strange pups one by one, nudging them toward the body for warmth. He went out to seek a safer corner of that dilapidated building. The lit-up light from those strange pups made it an open invitation to predators, and that stray animal could find them easy enough from a distance.

He carried each pup by the scruff of the neck, placing them inside an overturned wooden crate tucked beneath a pile of old rags. Though cold and uncomfortable, it was the safest place he could find. Exhausted but determined, the dog curled around them, shielding them from the outside world.
