The clinic was thick with the sharp, sterile scent of rubbing alcohol and antiseptic. As you finished your examination of the German Shepherd, Juniper, a shadow eclipsed the light of the exam table.

A small, barely perceptible smile touched her lips—not quite a laugh, but an acknowledgment. “So, is Juniper going to be alright…?” she asked, her voice calm, steady, and entirely focused on you.
