Snippet #1859828

Outside the government facility fence

Tala was having such fun destroying her snow man that she barely noticed the guard and his dog until he spoke. The man didn't bother her. The little girl oftan played near the building and knew the uniforms. His agitated dog, on the other hand, put her on edge. The man's grin was met by a nervous smile from Tala as her green eyes shifted between him and his dog. "I-It was-" She started to answer, but then the Sheppard went mad.

The pup widened her eyes and started to slowly back away as the dog barked and growled. The human couldn't see it, but her ears were back and her tail between her legs with her body low to the ground. Tala wouldn't do well against a fully grown Sheppard as a little girl or a puppy. She had hoped increasing the distance would calm the dog down, but instead it lunged at her!

Terrified, Tala let out an ear piercing scram as she turned and ran for dear life. She was faster and more agile than most, but also inexperienced and scared with snow to contend with. Longer legs like the shepherd's held an advantage here. Desperate to get away, the pup headed for the closest buildings, hoping to lose the dog. -}
