Stone Circle Hounds of Athens

A sneeze was what woke her; her own. Her eyes snapped open and she yawned, before loosing another miniature sneeze and realizing something vital; her mother was missing. She swiveled quickly toward the entrance, seeing a distant grey form that had to be her mother, she got to her feet and headed toward the entrance of the den. 

But it was apparent when she popped out of the entrance that she what been wrong,  the grey shape was indeed a stranger and her mother lay closer. But the strange captured her attention, and she sniffed violently as she looked to him, catching his scent. She babbled happily a moment, before trundling out toward him, passing her mother uncontested, yet surveyed carefully,  and stopping a short distance before her to stare at the stranger and make some more disconnected noises.
