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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAdq8nmpnIz2

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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAyvbhnGnZM4
375Please respect copyright.PENANA8R2A8pTP9I
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANANyWzIZvICe
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAl7wm7odh9X
375Please respect copyright.PENANAJG6lH0MNcx
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAR4zMTzNMza
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAPbo1pXScnx
375Please respect copyright.PENANAir72qssVa0
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA5R4zbvxomW
375Please respect copyright.PENANA6MBxxJnkMe
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANADxVNo8Uc8U
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.375Please respect copyright.PENANAIGY94Ny0U7

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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAR0pkfA89JK
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAM1fhhjfEoM
"It might seem funny to you Ji, but I am getting rid of you!" I told the dog. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA8SkHL16aWQ
Ji looked at me, and he seemed to be blissfully enjoying the night. He stared at the window next. 375Please respect copyright.PENANANVyN5Aulmj
375Please respect copyright.PENANAu2SmbN2B9x
"I didn't want to do it, but I am done. I am breaking the rules because of you!" I said. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAPPqMIXG6FN
375Please respect copyright.PENANAxNpRLiVnmn
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! 375Please respect copyright.PENANAbYlpLV3Ll6
375Please respect copyright.PENANALC2iUG2NiZ
"Well, Ji, It seems we are stuck," I told the dog. He of course just barked.375Please respect copyright.PENANAsh3VRIN1C8
375Please respect copyright.PENANAuqhLFQueWO
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! 375Please respect copyright.PENANAi7bJBCbdfn
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA1OXkHDvr9R
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAyc8J329egy
375Please respect copyright.PENANAPc3scHaYX5
"Ji, come back to me!" I yelled at the darkness. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAhKNfdm8v89
375Please respect copyright.PENANABFQcAj4RwU
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAXHQ3jTpToc
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAwrZnbNaF5U
375Please respect copyright.PENANAxF6FESAuuO
"Ji, Ji...don't be scared...I am here...!" I said calling at the emptiness of the forest. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA5GzZzbOIsl
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAt4rP8eJ9aJ
375Please respect copyright.PENANAvhNgNO5duv
"Come on little Ji...I am not going to hurt you..." I yelled. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAmTbeD6xb70
375Please respect copyright.PENANARlJRz85028
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA4IqZtFi4AM
Ji looked at me in pain, his paw was trapped in a trap. I smiled. He fucking deserved it. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAHHacKXfA4n
375Please respect copyright.PENANAqAe5dVjvx0
"You're in pain aren't ya'" I said. The dog just started growling at me. Then a tall man appeared from the shadows. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAr7yuhZrHUK
375Please respect copyright.PENANAjuHzdUW5h5
"Is that your dog?" The man asked. I denied it. "Nah. He ain't my dog. The man gave me a broad smile. 375Please respect copyright.PENANATzyUQWBv6X
375Please respect copyright.PENANAVMgeE1rN8V
"It got trapped in one of my traps. I might have to kill it now. Unless...it is your dog?" I denied it.375Please respect copyright.PENANALDQ8KqZm8N
375Please respect copyright.PENANAH1iE4aCiHi
"He ain't my dog," I replied. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAOezI4ZYCvJ
375Please respect copyright.PENANAA66fnR6lNC
"I hate intruders...Forest is mine..." the man said in a sinister voice. He grabbed an axe.375Please respect copyright.PENANAN5T9eOjr7i
375Please respect copyright.PENANA1ezuuidVtY
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA5lFjhZHRTV
375Please respect copyright.PENANA9QRAMNL6n5
"Don't kill the dog. Please?" I asked. The man smiled broadly.375Please respect copyright.PENANAtRWlc9w9pF
375Please respect copyright.PENANAvFWNNJCRNg
"Who said I am killing the dog?" he said. He started chasing me with his axe through the forest. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAYktFGoSiQk
375Please respect copyright.PENANAaqRCrAUr7V
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANA3d5SwGlliu
375Please respect copyright.PENANA9N4IClWrI0
"It was your dog then..." the man said. I nod. Ji gets loose and immediately runs away.375Please respect copyright.PENANAOSO7H9Trqh
375Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJZCwTUsE
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! 375Please respect copyright.PENANApp6KzwkGoq
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ5G9cDXkr
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. 375Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4OZtv5ly
I love him.
