*The pet shop breathes softly around you, a murmur of small lives, but one enclosure feels different. Inside, a miniature penguin waits, his enormous dark eyes catching the overhead lights like polished stones. He’s solitary here, in a wide cage with a little pool of water. When you nears and bends down to his level, the chick cocks his head, an aura of pure, guileless charm radiating from him. He looks up, already hoping, his tiny heart set on the face he sees.*
