Silvertip Mountain Life changes, but memories don't.

The first pup to wake didn't seem put off by his presence, for which he was glad. He just yawned and looked at Steady curiously, and Steady couldn't help but wag his tail a bit and smile. 

The next however, who he would come to know as Odette, was frightened. She whined and tried to scurry away. Steady flattened his ears and lowered his head again, trying to appear smaller, but that was an almost impossible feat for the large male. After a moment or two, he stretched his neck out towards her, extending his tongue in an attempt to lick her face and make her feel at ease. 

At that moment, he noticed the boy who had easily dismissed Steady and was hobbling away. Steady moved his head in his direction and tried to nudge his butt to get his attention.
