The Akita was massive, a fine example of the breed
-with the single exception of his current physical state: skeletal, matted, and attached to a cement post by a thick logging chain. He refused to let those things bother him, however; they were mere nuisances, after all.

His mind may have been jumbled, with memories of the past escaping him-but he knew one thing for sure: he was more than this beast on a chain.
Knew he was born for greater things, knew he mattered somewhere; if only he could get back to wherever, whatever, whenever that was.
For now, he would wait...
