His crisp paw pads soaked up water until they were heavy and porus like sponges. He shook off the water and a few sticking reeds. The canaan dog refrained from letting out a loud sucess howl. "Kira..." he began. "Will you be my mate?"
(I love when people say 'did his thing' it cracks me up every time.)
Kira glanced at Jess, and pondered this thought. Many thoughts rushed to her head. Now that they were free they didn't have to be mates, but then what would happen? Would he abandon her? Would she survive once more on her own? Would she be caught again? Did she love him? She shook her mind from these thoughts and replied "I," she started. "I don't know, Jess. You and me? We are free right now. We can do
anything. Those dogs back there, they
can't. But, I don't know about that..." She said, her voice trailing off into the air.
