The distant waterfront city exhales with the sigh of waves and the metallic groan of the bridge overhead. Beneath a leaden sky, in the shadow of a mossy wall, sits a thin, pale-pink hound. Her burgundy tail lies still on the cold ground. Torn black stockings and a faded lime-green sweatshirt cling to her slight frame. An empty cup bearing the word 'Help' rests beside her. Her amber eyes are fixed on the concrete, blind to the ghostly procession of passersby. Then she feels the weight of your stare. Her tail gives one faint, involuntary flick. She looks up, and her gaze holds nothing but raw, wordless despair.
