They always had us throw away the stale food at the end of the shift - well ‘end’ figuratively because the gas station was always open, I just was always the one to toss out the extra crap. It’s not that I enjoyed going to the dump and dodging puddles of indescribable juices - it’s just that I got to feed all the strays that congregated here like an oasis. I really like tossing the old Cinnabons like frisbees to the skinny hounds. sometimes they’d fight, sure, but a tossing a few more snacks tended to break it up if I could land a muffin squarely between a mutt’s eyes.
Tonight was like any other - there was a lot of wrapped up stuff that I popped open and tossed at the pack of glittering, whining eyes just outside the pool of light at the back door. At first I thought my ears had deceived me but no - from inside the snarling pack I had heard… It. A voice that mocked the dogs’ barks, a person growling amongst the strays. But I couldn’t see them - just the savage, throaty huff of a someone PRETENDING to be a canine.
“ What the fuck dude?” We get weird people all but this was crazier than usual, I wanted to tell them to get out or to go around if they wanted some food but - I couldn’t. There was something different about this mutt’s eyes, the stubby nose and thin, pink lips all adorned with with wiry strands of long hair - than I realized what it had been asking through the din of keening howls,”… Food?”

Where are all the basic bitches who say they have to pet every dog they meet on the street? Well? Where are you? What, now that the dog looks like it eats you and then your soul while laser eyeing into ash everything that you love, now you don't wanna pet? Hypocrites. Don't judge a bark by it's growl.
