Left Behind

The little one went on to speak, seeming soothed with her actions of cleaning him. He was cut off though, the sound of paws falling drew her attention away from him. Her ears fell flat against her skull and a growl started to form, but as soon as she looked up and saw Orchid her gaze softened. She asked her what she had found, and she protectively nosed the little black one. "Orchid, this is Exodus." She said calmly, searching the dames face. Her eyes were wide with worry, and she gave a helpless shrug of her shoulders. She needed help to get him out of here, he seemed rather set on staying here waiting on a mother that wasn't going to return.

"Exodus, why don't you come with me and Orchid? We can get you some water and food." She was getting desperate now, all she wanted to do was to drag this poor little soul away from here. This was a terrible place for him, and he needed a lot of attention. He deserved a lot of attention. If she ever found out who had left this little one behind she would tear her limb from limb. What kind of mother could just abandon their pup without even looking back? It made her angry, very, very angry.
