The Story Until Now: A Great Big Book Of Stories - Plot & Excerpts
Happy comes out of the crate panting and terrified. When you have been raised by wolves, you expect better of people. Injured in the struggle before the dart bit him and his world went away, Happy blinks into the white glare. A dark shape moves into the blinding light. Sound explodes, a not-quite bark. “Welcome home!” This is nothing like home. Then why is the smell of this place so familiar? Troubled, Happy backs away, sucking his torn paw. He hears a not-quite purr. “Is that him?” “Back off Susan, you’re scaring him. Handsome bastard, under all the filth.” The dark shape gets bigger. “Hold still so we can look at you.” Happy scrambles backward. “Wait, dammit.

It’s a … Hunter is the first thought that comes. Happy has never been this close to one, not that he chooses to remember.
