Whitefish River And when it calls to me

The Count could only hum a silent response. She did not know her pack well or where their pup might have wandered, but it's true they can be fairly adventurous. Her own litter had been quite the handful this year. Perhaps it was too idealistic to think that he would wander right back. Of course, I'll see if any scouts are willing to take a look around nearby territories. There wasn't much else Ira could offer for the other, but keeping an eye out took no extra effort and it was for a good cause.

On the topic of pups... you don't happen to know anyone else with a missing child, do you? I haven't gotten a name or direction out of the boy we found. I'm not sure where to even begin looking for his family. Unless he didn't have one... it would explain why he didn't speak and perhaps why he was so temperamental.  He was just old enough to last on his own, at least until they found him, but it meant that there was the possibility of his family passing...
