There was shelter in the small groves of trees, plenty of variety of plants to consume, not very many predators. Besides wolves, but they seemed a dime a dozen here and not as aggressive as the bears or the big cats.

His ears flicker forward, gaze thoughtful as he lowers it back down to rip another mouthful of delicious dandelions from the ground. Next would be the clover, but he supposed he would wait until she was finished collecting whatever she needed.
