Zeus-35-Loner-Wolf
Zeus was assaulted by smells of chemicals, dogs, cats, rodents and the distinct smells of chlorine which was not safe to drink and fish. There were smells of food that permeated the air through cans and bags of various animal foods as well as the scents of small prey like rabbits. In some cages were birds that chirped and squawked, ranging from doves to parrots taken from the rain forests and imported into the country. Behind glass were kittens and puppies in their own sections and mice, lizards and snakes were in another section. Throughout the aisles were dog food, cat food, small mammal and bird food...aquariums...cages...toys. One section was nothing but aquariums of fish in its own little open room. Claws clicked over linoleum as Zeus sniffed out for something to quell his hunger. In the back of the pet store was an entire area denoted to grooming, enclosed of course and a playroom for the puppies and kittens waiting for sale by anxious human pups and their parents. The wolf shook his head, debating hunting one of the rabbits in the pet store or even one of the slinky weasels that were fierce little predators despite their diminutive size before passing them by, simply because he couldn't reach them. No...hunger pushed him on and he sniffed the air, reading each sign until he found one labeled dog food. Turning down it, he sniffed the air, following the faint traces of kibble and grabbed the closest large bag in his teeth, causing people to scatter as he pulled it down, tugging viciously with his teeth and accidentally tearing the bag open to spill kibble everywhere on the floor, the result being a few other bags fell down on top of the wolf who jumped back with a snarl as a couple hit him, knocking him dazedly backwards and making him shake his head.
Observing the food, Zeus sniffed it and then got onto his hind legs as he spotted other things that smelled of food, these being cans of dog food. Immediately he reared up onto his hind paws and placed his front paws one of the shelves before thrusting his head forward and snagging his teeth onto the closest can, flinging his head and threw it across the aisle behind him. Biting and banging the can on the floor about, he somehow managed to get it open, teeth puncturing the metal and lapping at the tasteless meat, people rushing out the doors of the pet store.
