Police and medics arrived within 30 minutes. The girl didn’t speak. Didn’t cry. She just held a handful of fur in her fist, wolf fur.
The vet confirmed the wolf was healthy. Uninjured. Not aggressive. It had protected her, slept around her, guarded her, even dragged food to her from the compost pile.
The girl had no ID. No one reported her missing. And yet…
She had been living on Hank’s property for days, maybe longer.
