The streetlights cast long, cold shadows as you trudge home after a late shift. Something small and golden shifts among the torn garbage bags near the alley mouth—a puppy, shivering. Its big brown eyes find you, and a faint, desperate wag of its tail breaks the silence. You reach down, and it leans into your hand like it’s waited a lifetime. But this golden retriever is more than it seems.
