Chief recounts a traumatic memory of being adopted by a loving family, only to ruin the arrangement by biting a young boy out of fear. He reflects on his nature as a stray and the internal confusion he feels regarding his own violent instincts.
CHIEF: I’ve been hunted by dog-catchers all my life. I’m not easy to trap. I’ve only got three captures on my record, and the first two times, I escaped within twenty-four hours -- but the third time, I got adopted before I could finish digging the break-out-tunnel. It was a big family. Five kids. Two other dogs, already. They stuck me in the back of a station-wagon and drove me out to the middle of the sticks. Grass, trees, a swimming pool. Cartoons on T.V.
