It stood right in front of me: staring. It seemed as if it was not even breathing. I moved my toe, and it went bonkers. There were barks and a low demonic grumble. I went back to my seat and just stared at it. When was my family going to be back!? I needed to get away from that dog as soon as possible. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EZy6IGrIO

While my father was away on holiday he rescued a dog from a Chinese meat farm. He brought it home and everybody in the family was disgusted by it. The dog looked like a mutated creature from a horror film. Its face shaped like an alien's, and it had a long sharp tooth sticking out of the top of his face. Its body had little pelt, and its eyes were black and soulless.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z7rVIrA9M

The first time I saw it I felt repulsed, and I didn't want to touch it just in case it had fleas or scabies. My father put the feeble dog on the floor and invited us to pet it. My sister, a pretty ten-year-old approached it first, and the dog just excitedly greeted her. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZfRbRTEr8
My mother dared to pet it next, and the dog also greeted her nicely. I thought that maybe first impressions were wrong, and went to pet the dog. I was met with a hateful look and a low grumble. I stepped back, and everybody just laughed. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4TiLZGKGe

My father explained to us that the dog was probably going to gain hair and become more attractive, but that we needed to be patient with it. The dog had had a rough life so we needed to understand his moodiness. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrGxZB9xP
The family decided to call the dog Ji. In mandarin, it was supposed to mean lucky, and it was an okay name for a Chinese dog. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TPJBjA4Ha

As time passed Ji changed and became a fluff ball. He was still ugly, but at least he had hair now. He was sort of a mix between a Japanese Chin and a Chinese Imperial dog, and something else. He was loved by the family but often ignored by me. I had moved to University, so I was barely at home. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA2ahnx9jc
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9YYmE19uh
Then, Covid happened. I returned home from University to be closer to my family, and I had to live again with Ji, my sister, my mum, and my dad. Ji and I were sharing a room, and I think that was the start of our war for territory. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtmj4eoUmO
Ji had his sleeping spot by my bed. My mother had decided to put him there as they were remodelling part of the house, and my sister was a little bit allergic. The dog snored very loudly, and he was always farting in his sleep. It was a nightmare.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4OKZDpf0D

I tried to convince my mother to gift the dog, but none of them had anything against it. Hence, that is why now I am dognapping him, and I am going to gift him to a farmer in Yorkshire. I decided to do it after he stood right in front of me: staring and he bit my hand. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2f5FiEa04
In the middle of the night, I took the dog, and we were on the road. Ji barking at me and me telling him to shut up. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPVbs0jBD1
"It might seem funny to you Ji, but I am getting rid of you!" I told the dog. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxnor792Ro
Ji looked at me, and he seemed to be blissfully enjoying the night. He stared at the window next. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR6pqlrFIL
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYabHajj4B
"I didn't want to do it, but I am done. I am breaking the rules because of you!" I said. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCVe8qEc0
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XR0uHxpvR
It of course didn't reply. We drove and drove until we were stuck in a traffic jam. The biggest I had seen in ages. Ji was barking and barking no end, I told him to shut up again. He started growling, but he couldn't do anything to me. He was caged, and I was free. Joke's on you ruddy thing! 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvkROOUwif
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjFqwOdRZX
"Well, Ji, It seems we are stuck," I told the dog. He of course just barked.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJwhXZ8Wf0
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlJGzkA0gd
It was about four in the morning when the traffic jam started moving, and I woke up. The dog was gone from the cage, and he was asleep on my legs. The fucking creature had chewed the cage he was in, and he had escaped. The fact he had escaped trigged me, and I was scared! 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5ab6hMCq
Ji was blissfully sleeping, and I didn't want to move him. If I moved him, he would bite me. The people behind me were beeping and beeping no end. Fuck this. I was willing to throw him out of the damn window! I moved him to the seat next to mine and for some crazy reason he didn't wake up. Thank you, God. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiMLMOBs0V
The dog woke up when we were near Yorkshire, and he attacked. I crashed against a tree, and then he ran away from me into a forest. Gladly I was unharmed, but now I wanted to kill the damn dog. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX69JT4zjed
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhu8dD3VQb
"Ji, come back to me!" I yelled at the darkness. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS1sfCImS0
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzObEZteH
The rain wasn't helping the whole situation. It was Ji or me. I wanted to capture him and feed him to the foxes! Did foxes even eat dogs? Maybe I would find out in this forest. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSEyYWAQgJ
The forest was huge and moist. My boots were covered in thick mud as I walked. My arm had a few bites from it, but the adrenaline was keeping me without feeling any pain. I found myself running. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kI6atVazF
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOugvJqvoA
"Ji, Ji...don't be scared...I am here...!" I said calling at the emptiness of the forest. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvu6TCczf3
I had two hours in the forest and nothing. My phone kept ringing and ringing, and I supposed it was my parents. I didn't reply, and soon my phone died because I kept using it as a lantern and it drained my battery. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqEFm5pRT3
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBWiRZt9GZ
"Come on little Ji...I am not going to hurt you..." I yelled. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPY3xHGqKI
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJIPx0Vcmg
I felt how my sanity was leaving me. I was going to kill that dog. Stupid dog. Then I hear its sudden cry. I ran across some leaves and rocks and found Ji. I finally found him. Hello evil. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk7JjdbfsZ
Ji looked at me in pain, his paw was trapped in a trap. I smiled. He fucking deserved it. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu1mf6sfrF
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLGnKui7TM
"You're in pain aren't ya'" I said. The dog just started growling at me. Then a tall man appeared from the shadows. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjD8z4goIV
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqk2yacQcO
"Is that your dog?" The man asked. I denied it. "Nah. He ain't my dog. The man gave me a broad smile. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O0qVwfkrC
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7hqimPUe
"It got trapped in one of my traps. I might have to kill it now. Unless...it is your dog?" I denied it.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkBYKdsUKa
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI5zq0wGHN
"He ain't my dog," I replied. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwggSCPxFDo
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94eCrqWZcS
"I hate intruders...Forest is mine..." the man said in a sinister voice. He grabbed an axe.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKwNYXUS7s
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNmExa5J8r
Did he mean me? Fuck. I looked at Ji, and I felt bad for him. I didn't want that man to kill him. He...didn't deserve to die. I looked at the man. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsUkdLmv2z
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsT7m4DAnA
"Don't kill the dog. Please?" I asked. The man smiled broadly.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqE54FJHXJ
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhV4fIOwi4
"Who said I am killing the dog?" he said. He started chasing me with his axe through the forest. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9syyAEBvBp
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid2BUzIS76
He was going to kill me. Not Ji. We ran and ran, and I was faster, but he was catching up. I couldn't leave Ji to die...I decided to return to Ji, and we could both run away together. I hated the dog, but if I die, then, he would've won, and most likely the forest man would kill us both. When I came to Ji he was still trying to get loose and I helped him. He seemed grateful...he barked and the man had finally caught up with me. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe7V6d1f9J
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmocZUJaIsn
"It was your dog then..." the man said. I nod. Ji gets loose and immediately runs away.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXju3UejJmY
609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0j7Zszvnj
Thank you, fucker. I start running again, but this time the man caught my arm with his hand. He was going to ax me and...Ji bit his leg. He bit him so hard that he took a good piece of meat of him. Jesus! 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7tlLsttC
The man immediately tried to ax him instead, but I pushed him, and he fell on top of some wood. I looked at Ji, and we both knew we had to run away. Together we ran through the forest. We managed to escape. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf3XflDiub
Ji and I made peace that day. We never told anybody what had happened... (well I didn't), but Ji never bit me again, and I never tried to give him away. He is my best friend, he is the best ugliest dog in the world, and I am glad he saved my life. 609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dCy1HOVjQ
I love him.
