Did not proofread

A red long furred pup looked at her reflection through the murky water of her home territory. Her parents had left her seven months prior, and now she was living alone which she didn't mind. She rather be alone than with her parents who had made it very clear that they wished she was never born.

Thorn was always independent and she knows her stuff. She knew how to hunt, and she knew how to defend her land that all that mattered to other street animals even though Thorn longed for so much more.

Thorn sat looking at the reflection for a moment longer, before deciding on going for a hunt. The red furred dog started out of her territory. Making her way to Central Park where her hunting grounds we're.

Thorn quickly started her hunt getting down wind from her prey, letting her Irish Setter instincts course through her. That is until something scared her prey away. Thorn quickly turned around to see a corgi mix trying to hunt but totally failing. Thorn rolled her eyes growling at the dog who was on her hunting grounds. "This is my hunting grounds go find your own she told the pup who looked at her sadly, "Please let me hunt here please. The pup begs as Thorn heart softens at seeing he was just a puppy who was starving.

"Here take this." Thorn says quietly to the puppy nudging two rats too the puppy. "It isn't much but it is all I have. Now I better finish my hunt have a good day pup." Thorn says sparing on more glance at the Corgi mix sighing. This world just wasn't fair no pup deserved that. They deserved to have a family. Whether that be a dog family or a human one every pup deserved to be loved.

.........

Thorn's life changed the next month. Thorn was once again hunting when she smelled a familiar scent it was the pup she had gave food to the month before. She didn't do anything until the pup came up to her nervously, "Umm... excuse me... ma'am. I just wanted to thank you for giving me your food last month it meant a lot, and I was wondering do you need a partner I know I do I'm so small I can barely defend my territory. I mean only thirty seven percent of small dogs are able to stay lone dogs.

Thorn was about to say no, as she enjoyed being a lone dog, but looking at basically a helpless pup she couldn't do it. "Alright what's your name pup." Thorn asked gently

The pup cocked it's head, "I don't have a name." The pup says sadly as Thorn thought she was definitely not good at naming things she didn't even have a name herself. "Well we'll just have to figure one out won't we." Thorn asked smiling at pup who smiles back, "Yeah I guess we will, and we'll have to figure out one for you as well." The pup says as Thorn walks him back to her territory. Little did she know just a few weeks later her life would change drastically for the worst.

.........

A few weeks pass and even though Thorn didn't want to admit she was growing attached to the pup and was glad to teach it all she knew about hunting and protecting their land.

Nothing could change the inevitable though. Thorn was the prettiest stray you have ever seen and usually downsized due to her beauty, but still every male dog wanted her. She had fought everyone of them winning until this one who she had heard about in stories, Fang.

Fang had came to her while she was the pup play around in the green grass of the park. The dog came closer to Thorn who growled, "Don't come any closer!" She says getting ready to attack if she needed to. She was still a lone dog she didn't need some male trying anything, but this was just normal for her.

The dog inched closer and started attacking Thorn who quickly reflected them, but knew she wasn't going to win her freedom this time. She lowered in submission ordering her pup to do the same. Not wanting him to get hurt.
