Zeppelin padded up and down the driveway, looking nervous. His owners had up and left, and he had yet to figure out how to get inside. The fluffy black and white pup sat down on the concrete, whimpered softly. What if they never came back, and he never got back inside? What would happen to him? He'd never be able to survive on his own, would he?
Looking up at the sky, his panic increased. It was a mottle purple-pink, laced with strands of blue. It was going to be dark soon, then what would he do? He had heard tales of fierce strays that roamed the streets, some nice, but most mean. Would they find him and perhaps eat him?
Sighing, he lay his head on his paws, curled up in a ball, and stared at the door, hoping maybe it would open.

Skip had came far to get this neighborhood he went from the forest all they way to here as he trotted the smells of purebred show dogs was strong. As he pasted by a few houses a couple a show dogs gathered they were arguing with worry about their owners. He shook his head "I'm glad I am a stray"he thought as he kept on walking he spotted a little pup curled by the door way, he tilted his head he felt bad for the pup. He soon walked up to the pups house with his head at a good level showing he meant no harm, he walked up the steps, and sat down looking at the pup. "Hey pup whats the matter were are your owners" he asked kindly, of coarse Skip was always the kind one, and calm for a brute who was part coyote.

Zep opened his eyes, hearing the strays voice. Whimpering, he looked up. The brute didn't seem too fierce, and didn't seem like he would hurt him. "T-they left." he stuttered, coming to terms with the fact. His owners had left him, they didn't care. Standing up, he felt very small compared to the other dog.

Skip sat their "They left" ears went back a bit he turned over to the direction that he came from which was were group of show dogs were at talking about the them leaving. His face with a wonder thought he soon shook it off, and went back to the pup "Your not the only one kid them group of dogs down their lost their owners to....something is wrong, but i don't know what.....whats your name"he said to him kindly.
The kid was upset, everyone down their was to it was only matter of time before strays find out, who new what would happen if they did find out. Kill the pets, maybe chase them out to a small territory. Strays weren't all nice when it came to pets he might have been the only one that was nice."They call me Ace"he spoke he slowly lowered his body laying him self down would help show good level of the kids height "If you want you can hang with me for a while till we get to the bottom of this"he said with a smile trying to comfort the kid. Leaving a pup wasn't cool to many dangerous strays, and guard pets running around fighting, and killing others.
(its okay =] )

His tail wagged, his fear scent subsided. "I'm Zeppelin." he said, looking around. "Do you know why the humans are leaving?" he asked, giving his paw a lick. It seemed very strange, that all the humans would leave behind their dogs. Many owned dogs here were very pricey purebreds, so why would they leave them behind?
Hearing Ace's offer to stay with him, he nodded. Ace seemed nice, and hopefully he'd protect him from some of the meaner strays. "Thanks, Ace." he said, stretching his back legs. He wasn't one to play, he was more clam and serious. Which is why he tended to get along better with older dogs.

Skip smiled at him "Interesting name"he said to him when he asked about the humans he shook his head "To tell you the truth I don't know whats happening with the humans the strays haven't find out which is good, but I'm going to find out soon what is going on"he said kindly. His tail flickered around lazy like when he said yes that would like to stick around he gave a smile,and a nod "Just bark if your in trouble, don't worry Ill hear it"he said to him, Zeppelin seem like a good pup to have around, if he stuck around forever they would be close pals Zeppelin was going to be the pup he was going to protect with his life now, not his but the pups. "You want to go get something to eat Zeppelin you look hungry"he said kindly.

He hadn't expected the brute to know the answer, how could he? He nodded as Ace told him to bark if he got in trouble, feeling a sense of protection. Some brute were more ' deal with it yourself' which could be good, but Zep know for a fact he'd stand no chance with a full grow dog.
At the mention on food, he nodded excitedly. Her hadn't eaten since yesterday. "Where do we get it?' he asked, hoping it wasn't the dump. Sure, it had great scraps, but it was a scary place to be.

Skip laid their for a moment a bit zoned out, he was still thinking on what had happen with the humans it was strange, and mysterious to him, even to the other pets. When Zeppelin spoke he shook out of it he made a small smile with a wag at the tail "I know a really good spot.....I hope you like meat cause were heading to the meat market the guy always leaves his door open on hot days like these"he said. Thinking of the meat made him want drool the meat market had the best kind of meat that he liked they served all kinds of animal meat ,deer, boar, cows, pigs. You name it, Skip always went for the cow for which they were very juicy.

He looked at the brute, wagging his tail. Suddenly, a question entered his mind, and he couldn't help but ask. "Ace, what's the creek like?" he asked, curious. He'd heard about it, and it sounded fun, but his owners had never taken him. They'd never taken him anywhere. 'Do you think...we might be able to go there after the meat market?" he asked, looking down. Ace was already taking care of him, and he didn't want to take advantage of his kindness.

Skip laid their panting with his long pink tongue hanging out when Zeppelin asked what the creek was like he turned his head slowly toward him. "The creek is a nice cool water hole were you can catch fish, if not enjoy your self with a good swim to keep cool"he spoke. He slowly got up from the spot he was at he listened to Zeppelin words he was a interesting pup "Sure we can"he said with a smile. Of coarse he would take him Skip traveled every were it never bothered him not one bit "Ill teach you everything I now, and when your older your going to be a pro at traveling, and everything else"he said to him, Skip turned around, and went down the steps "Well be best get the move on before night comes at night is when it becomes dangerous will stay the night at the creek, but first lets get something to eat"he said kindly. He slowly started to walk keeping a really nice pace so Zeppelin could keep up.
