I was playing in the forest with my best friend Rosie when suddenly a net was thrown on me."Crescent!" Rosie barked and tried to get me out by biting the net. "Rosie runaway before he gets you too!" I barked but she shook her head and continued to bite the net.
I looked behind her and saw the human preparing to throw a net on her too."Rosie watch out he`s behind you!" She dodged just before the net came down. She gave me a sad look before running away. The tall human picked up the net then walked towards me and tried to pick up the one I was in but I bit his hand. He glared at me I just gave him a smirk that said "How did that feel Sucker." he cursed under his breath before getting a long stick
thing with a rope attached to it. I saw him put the rope around my neck. I then felt myself being lifted off the ground before he opened his truck and throw me in there.I yelped as I slammed into the wall of the truck when I got to my feet I saw the tall man close the door trapping me inside "Jerk" I barked but he didn`t understand me I lied down in the corner of the truck and try to come up with a plan on how to a little while I felt the tuck stop
and instead of the tall man opening the door I saw a chubby man open them he reached his hand out to touch my head but I backed myself further against the corner and bared my fangs and growled at him he got the message and just grabbed the stick and pulled me out. When I was out of the truck I saw a strange looking man that told chubby (that`s
just what i`m calling him) to put me in with a female brown dog that had a bow in her hair. After I was put in there the brown dog came over to me I gave her a low growl and tucked my tail in between my legs.
"It`s okay I wont hurt you." She said to me I looked up at her "My name`s Cookie what`s yours?" "I`m Crescent" I whispered "Nice to meet you Crescent." She said as she went over to the food bowl. "What are you doing?" I ask her as she lifted up her bowl to releve a hole "Follow me" she said I nodded my head as I jumped in the hole after her "Wow" I said as I looked around I then saw a dog with short scruffy walk up to us.
"Cookie who`s she?" He asked her well looking at me "This is Crescent the pup that they just brought in."Cookie looked at me "Crescent this is Lucky." "Nice to meet you Crescent" He said to me I just nod my head. I then see three puppies run up to Lucky
and pounce on him I raised an eyebrow at them they got off him and looked at me "Hi i`m Rebound this is Patches and Cupcake." She said as she pointed to each one as she said their names "What`s your name?" Cupcake asked me "Crescent" I whispered "You wanna play with us Crescent?" Rebound asked me I
looked at the Patches and Cupcake who were waiting for my answer I shake my head they both looked disappointed but shook it off "Ok if you change your mind we`ll be in the alley." Patches said to me before he and his friends ran off. Cookie looked at me "Why don`t you wanna play
with them Crescent?" she asked "I get nerves around other pups I don`t really know" she nods in understanding "Crescent you can go look around if you want." I nod my thanks to Lucky before wondering around. "Oww" I fell down as I looked up to see who bumped into me and saw a big shaggy dog looking down at me "Sorry" he said "Niblet watch where your running." said a small dog with big ears as he walked up to me "You okay kid?" he asked me
I nod "I`m fine" I say quietly they looked at me for a sec. before walking away I continued to look around Rosie would love it here I thought then stopped and sat down looking at the floor "Rosie" I whispered to myself. I could feel my eyes starting to water I wiped them away before anyone saw me "You okay kid?" I heard someone say I quickly stood up and growled as I prepared to attack "Whoa calm down it`s only me" I relaxed
when I saw it was only Lucky "I`m fine" I mumbled he looked at me then decided to drop it. "Crescent fallow me I want you to meet someone." "Okay" I said before fallowing him into a room where there were a small dog with really long ears and some squirrels me and Lucky walked up to the dog "Strudel" Lucky called getting her attention she looked at him than me "this is Crescent." "Nice to you."she said I nod
"What`s that thing?" I asked as I flicked my tail over to the big thing behind her "That`s the Free Kid Database the FKD for short. It helps us find the perfect person for pups" I cock my head to the side "What`s a perfect person?" I asked "It`s an owner." she replied "You see Crescent were the Pound Puppies we help pups like you get adopted." Lucky said "But what if a pup doesn`t want an owner?" I asked
they looked confused for a sec. but then Lucky spoke up "I`m not sure how to answer that but every pup that came here and got a good home." "Okay" I said quietly "Can I go play with the pups?" I asked Lucky "Sure i`ll have Squirt show you where the alleys are." I nod my thanks again before he left to find Squirt. After a few minutes Lucky returned with a familiar chihuahua "Crescent this is Squirt" Lucky said I nodded
"Squirt could you show her where the alleys are?" Squirt nodded "Fallow me kid" he said I nod and fallow him to the alleys "I can find them from here." I said "Okay just stay in the alleys." he told me i nod and told him thanks before turning and walking away. I started tracking the pups until I saw a field mouse near a trash can I licked my lips as I slowly moved closer to the mouse then pounced on it and bit it`s neck after I finished my meal I
continued to track the pups again after a few minutes I saw them playing near a large trash can I sat down as watched them play "They remind me of Rosie." I thought with a small smile on my face. After a bit I thought I should let them know that i`m here
so I pulled my head back and let out a howl. They turned around and looked at me as I finished "Wow that was amazing" Patches said as he looked at me I smiled "Thanks" I say quietly "I`ve never heard any pup howl like that" Rebound said "Me too that was a pretty neat howl Crescent" Cupcake said "I never heard a husky howl as good as that." Patches added I smile nervously should I tell them I thought to myself I let out a sigh "I`m not all husky" I
whispered they cocked their heads "i`m part wolf." I said as I closed my eyes and waited for them to attack me or tell me to get away from it never came instead they looked at me with friendly faces and their tails wagging
"Cool" they all said I smiled "Can you tell us about yourself please?" they asked as they all gave me big puppy dog eyes "Alright" I said they cheered "Night was my mother she was a black wolf she was very kind and protective very over me and my father`s name was Nanook he was a gray husky he was kind and caring his owner however wasn`t when he saw that his dog was sneaking to see
a wolf he prevented them from seeing each other by caging Nanook but that didn`t stop Night from seeing him when the human wasn`t around she would
sneak into his home and break him out of the cage. But one day when Night broke Nanook out and they went back to the forest she showed him a newborn wolfdog but what they didn`t know was my father`s human fallowed them and when he saw
his dog had a newborn wolfdog puppy he wasn`t happy he waited until Night was out of sight then came out of the bushes and put a rope around my dad`s neck then picked me up when my mom came back she tracked the human all the way to his home but he called some more humans and they had these stick things and it made her sleep. When she woke up she was in a cage with me my
mom then heard the humans talking about selling us to something called a zoo when I was able to open my eyes I saw a lot of humans staring at us I would always hide behind my mom when they did. When I was old enough to eat meat one of the humans took me to my father`s human home when I got there he put a thing like you guys have around my neck but it shocks me." I said.
"Wait your father`s owner put a shock collar on you?!" Patches asked me I nod "At the zoo they put us in a cage big enough for us to walk around but the food they gave us wasn`t meat it was dog food anyway my father`s human was very mean I couldn`t
go any where without him and if I did he would shock me or if I went near my dad he would shock me and get my dad mad would always get mad at him one day my dad broke out of his cage and bit his human after he bit him and then sold my dad I never saw him after that." I paused for a few seconds before continuing my story "When my father left I didn`t eat or even drink anything the human tried to make me eat but I bit him he then
tided me up outside after a few days another human moved next door she had two Alaskan malamutes that were my age they both saw me and untied me when I was free they asked why I was tided up there I told them why they told me their human is like that too then we desisted to runaway and find a place to live together in the forest. After we got to the forest we found three dens
I went inside my den I curled up and fell asleep the next morning I came up with a plan to get my mom out of the zoo as I came out of my den I was half way out of the forest when I saw the female Alaskan malamute pup 'Where you going?' she asked I told her where I was going and why 'Okay but i`ll come with you i`m Rosie by the way' she told me I smiled
'I`m Crescent.' I replied after walking talking we reached the zoo we hid so the humans wouldn`t see us when we were sure know humans could see us we sneaked over to my mom`s cage is 'How are we going to get her out?' Rosie asked me 'I`m going to squeeze through the bars and when I howl I want you to go get the humans that work here they`ll
unlock her cage when they do that i`ll run out with her and all three of us will leave' I told Rosie she nodded. I squeezed through the bars and went over to my mom she looked surprised to see me 'Crescent what are you doing here?' she asked me
'I`m here to get you out' I told her 'how?' I pulled my head back and let out a small howl I stopped as Rosie raced off when she came back with the humans fallowing her Rosie tossed a shiny thing on the ground I saw the man that worked here open the door I quickly ran out with my mom I saw Rosie waiting for us we then ran we made it back to the forest we all laid down when we were resting I perked my
ears up and saw the bushes resoling I thought that the humans might have caught up to us but instead was a group of dobermans they walked towards us well growling 'Your in our territory wolves' one of the dobermans said to us my mom stepped in front of me and Rosie 'Please we only wish to pass by without any trouble.' she said to them but they didn`t listen
they attacked us my mom tried to fend them off but they over powered her I tried to attack them but one of them bit my back right leg" I turned so they can see the scar "anyway" I continued " They made sure that me or Rosie couldn`t help my mom I couldn`t do nothing but watch I saw the dobermans finish her with a bite to the neck I cried into my paws then one of the dobermans
walked up to me 'we`ll give you pups a warning if you ever come into are territory we wont hesitate' he said as they all left" I felt tears running down my face I felt one of the pups rubbing my back after a few minutes I stopped and turned to see Cupcake by my side "Thanks" I said "Your welcome" she replied I smiled at her. "Crescent can you tell us how you got to the pound?"
Patches asked I nodded but then felt a drop on my mussel. "I`ll tell you tomorrow right now we should head back before it starts to downpour." I said they nodded before we got there I turned to look at them "Can you three not tell anyone i`m part wolf" I asked
they both looked at me confused "Why don`t you want them to know?" Rebound asked "Lets just say some dogs don`t like wolves and some wolves don`t like dogs." I told them they looked at each other before nodding "Thanks." I said they
smiled they looked at each other before nodding "Thanks." I said they smile at me I then felt more drops on me and heard something very loud "We should harry and get back to the pound." Patches said as they ran but stopped and saw I wasn`t fallowing
them "Crescent you coming?" Cupcake asked "Yeah" I said as I ran towards them after a few minutes we stopped as the trash bin opened we all jumped in the hole "Hey pups did you four have fun?" she asked we nodded "I`m glad you four had fun anyway Cupcake we should head home soon Patches Rebound you two should head home soon too." she said then turned to me "Don`t worry Crescent Strudel, Squirt, and
Niblet will be here with you." she said I nodded after a few minutes they went home I went back up top "Olaf don't forget to feed the dogs." I heard weird man say to Chubby I saw him put food in the other bowls then opened the gate I was in I waited until he was done putting food in dish then followed him without Chubby noticing me out of the gate when he did notice me I started running away
"Come back here puppy!" he said as he chased me I stopped as I came to a dead end Chubby came closer too me I just bared my teeth at him again but he ignored my warning this time and picked me up I tried to bite him but he had my nap so I couldn`t bite him Chubby put me back in and closed the gate I sighed and pulled my head back again and howled out of sadness, stress, frustration and
loneliness when I was finished I laid down feeling very tired I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
