Hey Kid - I was trying to relax

Calico Jack lays between the stranger’s front paws, blinking up at him with wide, owlish eyes as the grizzly runs toward them. This guy has a lot of scars! Maybe he is too hurt to fight the bear. As these thoughts pass through the young pup’s mind, the unknown wolf stands and Jack rolls over so he comes to rest on his stomach. The stranger uses a back paw to nudge the patchwork pup a little further away from the attacking predator and Calico almost scoffs at the implied suggestion. No way he letting this wolf take on the grizzly alone!

The earthen hued male moves to size up the grizzly and Jack swiftly makes it to his paws, shuffling away in a grand show of obeying the strangers silent order. Eyes slide over the tall green grass that is almost taller than him. The wolf and bear crush many of the colorful flowers as they move, sending petals and pollen into the air. As the unknown wolf rushes in to attack the bear, the small pup seizes the opportunity and races in to join him. The pup slips under the tall male and leaps up at the bear’s soft belly, giving it a sharp, painful bite with his sharp needle like teeth. The beast roars but whether it is from Jack’s attack or the stranger’s the pup does not know.

Small form blurs out from under the angry grizzly, racing around to stand beside the stranger. Icy blue eyes dart up to the male and a smirk tugs at the pup’s lips. No matter what, they are in this together and Calico refuses to let the wolf get hurt any more.
