Prompt - Alaska nervously glanced at her new "roommate." He wasn't much larger than her and was staring at her quite excitedly with his one remaining eye. She looked away and curled up in a corner. He seemed friendly enough and was super cheerful for a dog who had only one eye. It made Alaska want to become friends with him. He just seemed super easy to relax around and looked approachable, but yet here she was laying in a corner all alone. She was just too scared to talk to him.
"Hey!" A friendly bark sounded behind her and she whirled her head around to be nose to nose with the fluffy white dog.
She yelped and leaped to her feet to face him. He chuckled a bit which confused Alaska. Was he laughing at her?
"Sorry, friend! I didn't mean to startle ya'." His tail wagged and his eye shined with joy.
"I-it's okay.." Alaska responded turning her gaze toward her feet. His cheerfulness was almost contagious, just seeing the friendly samoyed made Alaska want to wag her tail too, but she kept her stubborn fear. He was probably trying to trick her, she's seen this act before and didn't want to experience it all again. Just keep distance and avoid contact.

Prompt - North eyed his new friend who avoided his eye contact with all cost. Was she intimidated by his missing eye? He tilted his head curiously. She was a really pretty dog and he'd like to at least be friends with her. She seemed like she could use a friend after all! That's what the humans had said anyway.
"You seemed pretty spooked. I feel bad, is it because of my eye? Because I promise I'm not a mean dog! I've just had a stroke of bad luck here and there!" North explained quickly still wagging his tail. The quiet border collie looked up quickly with wide eyes.
"No! Your eye isn't scary at all!" She insisted. "I'm just..a loner."
North wagged his tail. That was a relief, he can work with that.
"You say that but I think you seem lonely. My name's North and I'd like to be friends!" North stared at his new friend in front of him with excited eyes. His whole body was shaking from his tail wagging. The dog in front of him just seemed to be shocked and brushed off his comment.
"I don't want to be rude so I'll introduce myself but I don't need friends. Call me Alaska."
"Alaska! What a pretty name for a pretty dog!"
Alaska again looked away from North and turned her back towards him. He sat down with a smile. "So what's your favorite thing to do?"
She waved her tail at him to signal North to go away but he stayed and asked more questions until finally, she answered.
"I liked..I like to watch the birds fly sometimes." She turned with a shy smile. North's whole body shook once more as his tail went wild and very slowly he started to get to know her.
The winner is WolfTales! I like the way its written and the possible character dynamics with it. Please post if they are a stray or pet!
Honorable Mention goes to bmkmb! I was intrigued by the possible character interactions and relationship, but would've liked to see more depth/written on it.
