The look in Evelyn's eyes when she saw you was enough to send shivers down your spine. Whatever this lady's dog might do to you, it would be better than being Evelyn's plaything. Without thinking, you rush to the Labrador's front paws as they start to retreat away. You can feel the new muscles in your legs itching to let loose as you break into an animalistic sprint.
You jump with incredible height onto the dog's left paw, the fur is too thick for it to notice you, however, you can see Evelyn start to panic as she desperately searches for you on the ground.
Looking up, you can see the dog panting as it follows its owner excitedly back home. You don't know how far of a walk they have, but it was probably smart to climb up to the Labrador's back.
The dog's fur was thick and slightly matted, no doubt from rolling in dirt and other things dogs might do. You found that the tough claws on your hands were more than capable of getting you up, and with surprising speed! After only 15 minutes, you're on the beast's shoulders, just as the woman approaches her front door. Everything inside was a bit old school, mostly hand-me-downs from her friends and family, but cozy nonetheless. As she goes to unstrap the dog's collar, you feel a rush of adrenaline as this could be your only shot at getting her attention. With all of your newfound strength and agility, you bolt for the dog's neck. The fur has gotten even denser up here, and you have to fight to push past it.
Seeing the woman's giant hands wrap around the leather collar, you leap at the last second, just as they're about to pull away. The question remains: do you make it?
