A Dogs Tale/A Wolfs Tale

A Dog’s TaleI remember being born, that may seem a strange concept to humans but it isn’t really for Dogs. I remember being snuggled and warm then suddenly being pushed out into a very bright light. It wasn’t pleasant, and I was afraid but then a warm wet tongue began to clean me and a soft voice spoke welcoming me to this strange bright world and pushing me to a teat full of her delicious milk. Everything was blurry and muffled but I felt safe listening to the steady beat of my Mother’s heart through her soft flank. Those first few days were strange, I did very little except eat and sleep but I was aware of ‘something.’ I did not know what it was but I knew it was waiting for me.That was four weeks ago and I’m not afraid anymore, I’m much bigger, my eyes have opened and my ears have cleared. I can hear my Mother when she talks to me [Although she speaks with her mind]. I have three sisters, who drive me mad with their chatter and arguments, all they want to do is play. They bounce

I was still a very small puppy and he was waving his fists at me I was terrified. I knew I was too small to defend myself so to my shame all I could do was lower my head and back away from him my tail between my legs. I cowered into my blanket I had no idea why he was so angry with me until he slammed the door behind him and I heard him say. ‘That’s better you little runt now keep it fucking quiet, we are trying to sleep or you will find it will get a whole lot worse for you’ He turned to his mate, ‘When did you say that damned Commander was picking that weird little shit up? I swear if he does not come tomorrow I will str

He sat up slowly and swung his legs off the bed, ‘Fancy a walk? Need to blow away a few cobwebs’ I trotted by his side as we walked along the coastal road down onto the beach, it was a pleasant enough evening, only a slight breeze blowing in off the sea. As the sun set slowly ahead of us, we walked to the harbor and sat for half an hour watching the fishermen cleaning their boats ready for the morning tide. It was peaceful and relaxing and when the Commander rose to return to the house I was reluctant to follow him. ‘Come on Sirius, I’m ready for my dinner’

They planned to snatch me just as one of their planes was leaving so there would be nothing the British could do. I told the Commander immediately and I told him I would not let them take me, if I needed to I would defend myself. He stopped me, there would be no ‘defending myself’ The Americans had every right to want to get to know me they were our Allies he had said telling me off angrily. He would introduce me to their Commander and then he would arrange a meeting with the President and the Prime Minister, I had been created for a reason it was time to find out what that reason was.The meeting was held a month later, the Commander had insisted the Americans came to us so they came to the Military Base. They were all sat drinking coffee in the laboratory chatting amicably asking the Scientists general questions and writing them down on their clipboards. All my instincts were on high alert but the Commander insisted I had not

I waited until I saw his wife filling the dishwasher and slowly made my way up their path giving the Captain our signal, two sharp barks. I stood patiently until he opened the door. ‘Hi Sirius, what brings you here this early?’ He smiled at me and held the door open for me to enter, the Captain had never heard me speak, his Father had asked that I did not reveal that side of me to him until it was absolutely necessary. I deemed it time to do so. ‘Good morning Captain, please do not react to my voice we do not want to scare your family’ I stood very still watching him assimilate what had just occurred, he walked ahead of me into the living room closing the door behind him, a
