Blacktail Deer Plateau baby's first everything

While Pura presumably evacuated his bowls, the Alpha male stepped over him and walked a few feet to scan the surrounding area, just to make sure nothing was amiss on the home front. An ear twitched backward to acknowledge the pup's various noises and, when the stench hit him, he turned and walked back toward Pura, grimacing playfully.

"Damn, son," he remarked before plucking up the slightly lighter puppy and stepping back into the den. There was a rabbit skin near one wall. He carried Pura toward it, then dropped him gently atop it. "Wipe your ass before you rejoin the group," he instructed the deaf youngster before chortling to himself and reclining nearby.
