HEART, LUNGS, ADRENAL GLAND. more often than not, the dog that bites is the dog that thinks he has no other option; i feel as though my body language must constantly be screaming “if you do not keep your fingers out of the bars you are going to get them torn off,” with my ears back and my teeth bared and my pupils blown wide, chest always heaving, pulse jumping erratically. backed into the corner of my kennel by the world at large.
