"ahhhh!" I screamed as I saw a wolf walking right in front of my car. Before I could think correctly i slammed on the breaks of my car hearing the tires screech followed by the whining of the animal. 'I hit him' i sighed as i thought of how i could've let this happen.
I go to get out of my car to check if it's ok and he's slowly limping away, I feel terrible but well I couldn't do anything considering it's a wild animal and I couldn't really just take him home.
'What should I do' I thought to myself as I paced back and forth looking up every now and then to see the wolf who could barely walk and who would most likely get killed if i didn't at least try to do something.
'Whatever fuck it' i said to myself and whistled to get his attention. it echoed in the dark foggy night, the street so black you couldn't see the end like a endless tunnel with no one around to see anything that had just happened.
the wolf turned making eye contact with me and all I could see was his deep blue eyes filled with coldness and loneliness as if he had no heart and I stood there trying to figure out a way to get him in my car without attacking.
i start to walk toward him squatting slowly making eye contact the entire time so he's aware he doesn't have to feel threatened.
he stares at me, his eyes following my every move and his growls getting fainter with every breath.
i stay in the same position, his growling now stopping completely, none of us moving an inch. finally i reach out my hand to touch him and figure where exactly it hurts and he starts to bark loudly as if telling me to back away, so I listen and nod finally speaking to him as if speaking to another human "no too much, where is it baby?"
he finally breaks eye contact and licks the spot like he knew what I wanted to know.
i saw a cut on the side of his ribs and sighed "Can i touch It? I promise it's ok i won't hurt you." And I reached out my hand putting it toward his nose so he can smell me and sense i wasn't out to hurt him.
after a good while he licked my hand making me know he'd given me permission and I caressed the side of his face slightly feeling him panting on my hand and moving my hand to where the wound is.
I put my hand and touched around it but nothing seemed to hurt although as I gradually got closer I could see the pain in his eyes raising.
Once i reached the wound i put my hand on it delicately and he whimpered powerfully almost like a howl so I took my hand away and rubbed his head saying "I'm sorry".
I took a breath getting myself to calm down so I could think clearly and eventually i said "ok im going to take you to someone who might know how to fix you. Can I pick you up?" And he licked my hand once more giving me permission so i picked him up slowly and put him in the back seat of my car.
i knew my best friend Elena could help in some way considering she was a veterinarian maybe for domestic animals but this was close enough to a dog right?
So I decided to call her "Elena meet me at your office i need your help"
"Emily it's 1 am wtf kind of help do you need"
"just meet me please"
"fine but you seriously owe me big time"
and i hung up and drove to her office at 1 am with the moonlight still vibrantly dawning upon me, day never seeming to come up and still hoping she could help me.
