(SHORT STORY) After reading Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, I became inspired to write a creeper about our husky. While we love her dearly, there is no denying that she's been a headache, though for the most part we've adjusted. In the first place, I am a dog lover, and every now and then it occurs to me how few dogs feature into fiction, despite their ubiquity in our everyday lives. Secondly, I wanted to start with the premise of an evil dog, a family suspicious of the family pet, and see what I could come up with. In this short story, the family dog runs away, then returns a week later, changed.
