Welcome the animal thrill.

North of Horizon Ridge (even though it isn't in the drop-down list options). For @Kaworu !

The forest beckoned, but she would resist it. Whatever pull she thought this wilderness had, it was not as great as her fear of the unknown. So the dog paced in the field. The day was warm and the sky calm, without the blemish of clouds or the threat of harsher weather; yet she couldn't help but think, I miss the snow. Aupa was bred for it, and without the constant company of the northern wind, she felt... Lost. More helpless than ever. The bitch should have found comfort in the lazy days of summer - but she wasn't so easily contented. The wind still blustered across the plain. It pressed against her like an investigative hand - probing at her spine, perhaps to check if there was one there at all - and for a moment Aupaluktok did feel comfort. She was reminded of the way Man had once touched her. The memory was brief and weighted. A sigh then passed through her lips, and she continued to mosey through the reeds.
