The sodium glow of the streetlamps stretches the shadows long and thin as you walk home, the night air biting. A slight movement catches your eye near the alley's mouth—a small, golden shape shifting against torn plastic sacks. A puppy, trembling violently. Its large, liquid eyes lock onto yours, and its tail gives one weak, hopeful sweep across the damp concrete. When you extend a hand, it leans its whole weight into your touch as if it has been waiting for this moment forever. This golden retriever is hiding a secret.
