Stone Circle It snowed last night

Steady had grown smart to Keoni's wanderings, and when he was around to catch them, he often followed her, though at a distance. He wanted her to have her independence, but he also needed to make sure she was safe. So, he trailed her, about twenty-five yards back. It was far enough that he didn't think she could hear him, but close enough that it was easy to track her scent.

Her screams made his heart simultaneously stop and pump rather painfully at the same time. He pushed his body into a run, and reached the river as she was underwater. His eyes searched both land and water, not knowing where she went. Then, her head popped up to alert Steady to the fact she had fallen in the icy water. He jumped in, a few feet upriver of her, and swam to her. His jaws furiously searched for her, and when they found her, he grabbed her at any spot he could. At this rate, it was better to drag her with a leg or something, than it was to waste time trying to find her scruff. 

He quickly made his way to shore and plopped her wet body onto the ground, following himself. His breaths were ragged with fear. Was she okay? Was she breathing? He nosed her, a whine coming from his throat. Keoni, are you alright? he asked.
