**came a sudden knock on the door of the pound, then, a silvery bark, then, silence.

A young man runs away leaving a covered cage, too small for its cargo that laid inside.

A silvery whimper comes from within the cage, blood is visibly running in rivlets from the cage.

It had taken her quite some time to tell herself she needed a companion. She didn't want to just go out to some breeder and get one, oh no indeed. She wished to save a life, and have it be held close to her heart. And what was this? A man went rushing by her and the young red head blinked. Odd.....

She then went around the corner and saw a frightful sight. A Crate with a dog inside, and blood streaming down its sides. The doctor in her turned cool and proffessional, while the woman in her wept with grief. No animal should be put through that torture. She heaved the crate backwards a bit, then squatted in front of the gate. Hey baby. We're going to get you out, ok? Then I'll take you home and you can live with me. She could barely see the breed of the dog, only that it was big. She went inside for a moment, then came back out carrying a new leash. Come here, baby. She murmered softly. She reached her hand inside trying to grab hold of Baltos collar....

Baltic blue Snapped at her hand, she had obviosly not been treeted weel, and a choke-chain collar was inbedded in her fur. However she still let Eva put the leash on, keeping her ears back the entire time. She winced in pain with every movement.

As her hand was snapped at, she made no movement. Pain like a fire went up her arm, but she didn't seem to mind as the blood rolled down her pearly white skin. Hey, baby. I'm not gonna hurt you. She sat on the ground, and patted her leg calling the dog out of the crate. Her hand was tight on the leash. She wasn't going to move.

Baltic Blue slowly walked out of the crate, she had a terrible limp in her front left leg and it seemed as though she was barely breathing. Her eyes not leaving the human's. She laid down in front of Eva, clearly having calmed down.

Her hands were soft and gentle on Baltos, as she felt all along the animals body. Come on, baby. We're gonna take you far away from here. She murmered softly. She picked up Balto, not wanting the female to walk anymore then she had to. Placing the canine in her car, she began driving to the Vet Clinic.

Baltic Blue layed down in the car, she loked like she was happy to finally be taken care of.
