Redhawk Caldera the quiet child

When its father moved closer to his face, the pup tried to scrambled backwards. He kept focussed on the face of his father all the while, causing his eyes to cross, and when his father's face was all the way there, the pup fell backwards on its butt with an "oof!" because it had only moved its head backwards and not its entire body. The pup shook its head and got to its feet again (well, somewhat; it still mostly crawled).

The pup did not hear more than a blur of distant sounds when its father said something, and it look in its father's direction. The pup did not notice the paw gesture, and instead it crawled towards its father, not understanding where it was supposed to go or look.
