Stuck Between Loyalty and Love

The mutt blinked, peering into the blinding sunlight of the day. His cave had not stopped the rain, and he was soaked clear to the bone. Zeus stood and walked out, stretching his still limbs and back. The dog park wasn't busy yet, no people or dogs running around the big grassy area. A path led through four acres of trees, and that was where he lay. Zeus sighed, wondering why those yappers liked being on a leash, or living in a house. It was all stupid to him. His master had quickly given him up as a pup, due to the wolf in his blood. Zeus couldn't help it, aggression was in his personality. The shelter told him again and again, the wild side would come out, and he believed every little word of it.

So, Zeus lived here, proving to humans he was nice, but would not live with them. All they did was scowl and him and keep walking, or give him a good kick.

If Zeus couldn't have trust from humans, he hoped he could get it from a female dog. Brown fur blended well with the muddy road, but it looked odd and he trotted out onto the lush green grass. Now that the sun was warming the city of Sacramento up, people would come down and start playing, which they did.

(I want a female dog, who has a master.)

Could I please join?

Yes, but there are a few things first-

Your dog must be a priss.
The owner has to be distracted easily.

Zeus inhaled the fresh air, long tail swinging. Pedigree pets roamed, cow dogs jumping high for tennis balls, rat dogs jumping of blw up jumps their snooty owners brought. Only one dog caught his attention, a Rough Collie. Her master though, looked mean enough to yell at the pretty dog for just letting him sniff her rear end.



Zeus rolled in something dead, but his own coat still looked pretty good. He bathed in the river, shaking off and letting the warm sun dry him before he trotted gleefuly towards Lady Amber. Other stray dogs loved the smell of dead things, or old food.



The wolf dog wagged his tail, growling playfully and wiggling his rump.

Zeus saw her wrinkle her nose, and his tail drooped. "Buisiness? Play, I guess." He said, but she had already wondered off. He sneezed when her tail tickled his nose, but quickly ran to the river to get the smell off. He rolled in a mint patch, and then ran back to the park. "Amber!" He called, after all , he had heard the pedigrees calling that name. "Amber!" He barked.

sorry so short

"You ran off to go have 'tea' with the others, why?" He laughed, wagging his tail. His gaze rested on Connor. "Who's the dog with a moldy hotdog for a tail?" Zeus asked, wagging his own lush tail. Without waiting for a reply, Zeus leaped and gently knocked Lady Amber over with his nose. "Tag." He laughed, running circles around her. Then, guessing in his own mind that Connor wanted to play, Zeus leaped onto him, pinning him to the ground. Zeus's nose nuzzled his neck. "Dead." He said, leaping off and bounding away, waiting for them both to follow.

Zeus snarled as he spun around and saw Connor in midair. The wolfdog was about to defend himself when the pedigree collie knocked the doberman away. He spun around as Connor threatened Lady Amber. "Hey, who died and made you king? You can't talk to her like that!" Zeus couldn't get into a fight now, not when he was so close. I'll let Connor attack her, get her all the human's attention, then get Connor away!



Zeus growled.

This was his chance! Zeus didn't snarl, didn't growl, just lowered himself to the ground and leapt. He managed to push Connor off of Lady Amber, and herded him away wth harsh nips. "Stay away from her!" The wolf dog snapped, nothing bristling.

Black fur was shining as he bonded back to the collie and guarded her.
