Wolf Man Go Dig Hole

"I gotta say, at first, I thought to myself, I'm a grown adult with some constitutional rights left, I don't need no family adopting me as a pet."

Eloi shifts in the canvas director's chair. The crunch of the fabric is caught on the lavalier mic.

There's a shot of Eloi, white t-shirt and stained jeans, walking between kennels filled with barking pitbulls. He growls at one, sounding nothing like a human man, and the dog whimpers.

Voice over plays.

"When I got out 6 months ago an came to work at Villa Lobos, I couldna been happier."

Shot of Eloi playing tug of war with a pit-hound mix in a pen. Eloi has a tight grip on his end of the rope toy between his teeth.

"What better place for a low country werewolf with no pack who's prone to getting into it?"

Dramatic music fades in. There's a cut back to Eloi being interviewed, the camera zooms in on his face as he looks off and lets out a big sigh.

"I love those dogs. I do. But I think I'm ready for the next stage in my life."

B-Roll of New Orleans residents walking through the kennels of Villa Lobos, playing with dogs and taking selfies.

Interior shot of the Villa Lobos office. Tia Maria Torres is sitting at the messy desk, glasses at the end of her nose, sleeves cut off a white T-shirt that says "Racism is the Pits."

There's a knock at the door.

Eloi walks in timid, head low, avoid eye contact.

Shot of Tia crossing folding her hands together as Eloi sits down.

"The Bernard family called. They've confirmed the adoption interview."

"Ok."

"There might be a problem though."

"Oh yea, what's that?"

"They've little girl, Shirley, apparently she came home with a kitten a few weeks ago."

"Awe dang!"

"Now, that doesn't mean it won't wok out, but we just have to be cautious."

Cut to Tia Maria being interviewed, the levees sitting up high behind her.

"I'm used to Pitbulls, who normally get along just fine with cats in the right home environment. Actually to be honest, I'm used to a lot fo things that don't involved placing a grown man who also happens to be a parole in a family home."

Shot of Elio working alongside the other employed paroles at Villa Lobos, hosing down the concrete floor of the kennel area.

"But we here at Villa Lobos, we're ll about second chances. And when the Bernard family called asking about our newest canine addition, I had to at least tell Elio about it."

Shot of Tia in a different sleeveless t-shirt and cargo pants taking to a well dressed parole officer.

"It's unprecedented to be sure. But you know, the New Orleans correctional department is having the hardest time reintegrating werewolves and shifters and even fangs back into regular society. Being that they have so many... abnormal needs."

Tia nods. "Yea. Yea."

Cut back to Tia's interview. "We're very grateful to New Orleans Law Enforcement. They've brought us Eloi in the fist place, and I have to say along with being one of our hardest workers, he's great with the dogs. I mean... really really great with them."

Shot of Elio walking underneath a highway underpass with a massive grey pitbull, who is off leash.

"It's not so much tricks as he's just a good listener, you know." The grey pit sits still, tail wagging looking up at Eloi. The producer says something off camera.
