Brian walked into the pound. Damn, it smelled like shit. Who could ever live in conditions like this? Apparently there was a nicer side to the pound where all the 'better' demihuman dogs were kept.

Brian was incredibly stressed and not himself recently and one of his employees suggested getting a support demihuman dog. In other words, get a pet who'll tell you lies for food. Demihumans weren't exactly liked in current society and it was hard for them to even get a decent living without having an owner. Brian hated the fact. They were still somewhat human after all, right? Still, he kept the idea into consideration and today was the day he'd get one.

The truth was, Brian knew he was incredibly off lately not because of work but because of memories haunting him. His life with his father, how his mom was treated, but one thing that got to him to this day was his mother's death as he feels he could've prevented it. Maybe a demihuman would be a distraction for him.

He looked at the demihuman dogs that were untrained or strays. They looked aggressive and vicious. Some looked slightly depressed like they had given up on life. While some simply stared at him with hatred, seeing him as another human without a heart.

Brian looked to the very last cage. In that particular cage laid a sleeping demihuman dog who looked slightly weaker than the rest. "What about this one?" He asked. "No that one's no good mate. Untamed, unpredictable. It's been tossed around families, everyone bringing her back. She's scheduled to be put down today." The pound administrator explained.

Brian looked at the tag on the cage. He didn't understand. The sad thing sleeping in that cage didn't look nothing but delicate. Poor girl, she doesn't deserve this, he thought to himself. "Okay how bout this, I spend the day with her, see how it goes and if she's really no good you put her down but if I say I want her, I adopt her, deal?" Brian turned to the administrator who gave him a skeptical nod.

The administrator walked up to the cage to unlock it before grabbing her by the collar, dragging her out of the cage roughly. "Come on you piece of shit!" The administrator snapped as she refused to move, too afraid to. Brian pushed the administrator away before kneeling down to her level. "Come here sweetheart, I won't hurt you." He cooed as he called out to the demihuman with his hand...
