#matted fleas blood and scars I am nothing but a howling hound

[crepuscular-coyote]

I know I am a coyote, but I am also a dog. Not any particular dog, just a stray with ribs peering out from underneath its pelt. One who obeys because it's afraid yet bears its teeth at the slightest movement. One who is ready to run at a moment's notice yet so loyal that you wonder how anyone threw it away.
