10.Are You Suffering?

After a closer look, Addison murmured, “Is this really a puppy?” The creature, though scared and alone, seemed largely uninjured apart from a few marks from the fall. Relief mixed with concern. With practiced care, he checked for wounds or fractures. The heartbeat felt steady—good sign. No obvious cuts or trauma. Its black coat, damp from the cave, was intact. Yet something felt off. Its unusual calm unsettled him. A hurt puppy would twitch or whimper; this one stayed still. Subtle details sparked doubt: the fur’s texture seemed different from a dog’s, and the head shape didn’t match breeds he knew. Doubt took root.
