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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0FBskQvfJ

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.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ2uy9qRqN

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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfUSdClxw2
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLTy9E8dlS

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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKg9m2vSmV
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkiSOIDsjX

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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68k0HwQ0fh
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TeDY7zr6t
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HeV81RTS
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.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwilEbbuGr

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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceyqTp9ni2
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2Ks4DQIU
"It might seem funny to you Ji, but I am getting rid of you!" I told the dog. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqb9Gme61a
Ji looked at me, and he seemed to be blissfully enjoying the night. He stared at the window next. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ZIf9RGy5
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbZQUAiyqd
"I didn't want to do it, but I am done. I am breaking the rules because of you!" I said. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6m7N2tVTx
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfw3MRv3AN
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! 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy13EY1781
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9zVlkBQG8
"Well, Ji, It seems we are stuck," I told the dog. He of course just barked.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJf4AFmiDy
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2hpWD7MT0
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! 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsDuwNOgAt
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnhUhLvdFZ
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ulsaQyQkx
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Fws0k71E
"Ji, come back to me!" I yelled at the darkness. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY0TYgn70m
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuE5V96ygw
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVV8G0yFLg
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVKXc4bvro
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XHLns6h7W
"Ji, Ji...don't be scared...I am here...!" I said calling at the emptiness of the forest. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLquPUAtVA
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeQbUF6tEj
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEejTbqPKH2
"Come on little Ji...I am not going to hurt you..." I yelled. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDoMuuEXy
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HwWIcyxiK
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs02p8JH5L
Ji looked at me in pain, his paw was trapped in a trap. I smiled. He fucking deserved it. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpXWZzLXPl
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSU4eYLgpN
"You're in pain aren't ya'" I said. The dog just started growling at me. Then a tall man appeared from the shadows. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnqrodnWrO
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMEigsyeRG
"Is that your dog?" The man asked. I denied it. "Nah. He ain't my dog. The man gave me a broad smile. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhoEHs30cW
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoUhBzJAwH
"It got trapped in one of my traps. I might have to kill it now. Unless...it is your dog?" I denied it.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlRzfGrzGq
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTxMmtvV8a
"He ain't my dog," I replied. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5gqGxURAC
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiUEV6Zlsq
"I hate intruders...Forest is mine..." the man said in a sinister voice. He grabbed an axe.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwSQjanl7F
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAILD6OVqh
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZgPjezCCr
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4gG6Tapf
"Don't kill the dog. Please?" I asked. The man smiled broadly.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRANx2aDbD
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCifcnkzVv
"Who said I am killing the dog?" he said. He started chasing me with his axe through the forest. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IZVKprxO
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4CFBf2iX
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDNCx9G7V
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmeMiWAkz4
"It was your dog then..." the man said. I nod. Ji gets loose and immediately runs away.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBq7DXBKFj
519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCIsPflwF
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! 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpXW2j5g4H
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBWmYsvxGY
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. 519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgXU03beMA
I love him.
