Yal was a young boy, about 12, when it first happened. He remembered the old days with his stepfather, he despised him. His stepfather would always find new ways to gamble and make money. His new particular habit was gruesome. He began raising pit bull dogs, and he watched as the docile and sweet dogs were transformed into vicious creatures by his abuse.<br/>But things only changed the day he introduced his fighting machine to a small gangly female dog, a golden labrador female, she had two pups, which his stepfather was about to save for later use. He got his fighting dog in the ring against the other, his dog was confused at the new target, she remembered. But her stepfather spewed violent words at him, and the dog obeyed his commands, mauling the defenseless animal.<br/>After the fight was over and the man and pit bull not in sight, Yal cradled the dog's body, her last breath's slowly left her crumpled body. Her pups whined softly beside her. Suddenly it felt as if her spirit had lifted from the body "Run!", "Take my pups with you!. "Thank you for staying beside me, for that, I gift you with this." He blacked out for a moment and when he woke up, he bore the same yellow button ears and tail as the dog. "Run" the voice echoed as a whisper.<br/>It had been a year since he had run away, he had temporarilyleft the pups in a safe grove so he could find something for them to eat. He had to admit, that was the best thing to happen to him, and Cal and Raya were his best friends, and they are now strong, beautiful dogs.   The only problem is he wondered if he was the only person with this strange condition.<br/>He smelled a lake nearby, and as he walked closer he noticed Three people by there, he realized that they shared one thing: Ears and tails.<br/>"YES! YES! FINALLY! I'M NOT ALONE!" He cried out. He suddenly felt immense joy, he began to jump up and down with arms high in the air, with tail wagging inscessantly.
