The sun was high in the sky as of now, the birds chirped from a nest in a tall tree, most of the nearby community was awake now. Of course, not everyone was awake yet. In a medium sized house was a young Saarloos wolfdog. He was still wrapped up tight in his thick, red blankets, snug as a bug. His eyes opened revealing yellow irises and he yawned, his canines were large, and sharp.

A scar went across his snout leaving a long pink mark, he looked to his alarm clock with a nervous expression. His eyes were too blurred to see much at first, he found it was off. He fiddled with it but it was dead, he growled as he took out his phone and looked at the time. His phone was just a simple thirty-dollar phone from a grocery store. He felt horrified to find it was twenty minutes until eight, which was when school started.

"Crap! Ah'm gon be late fur college!"

He hopped out of bed, as he ran to his closet to retrieve his clothes. He opened the door to his closet, pulling a hanger off of the rack, and got dressed. He wore a red denim button shirt, the sleeves rolled up and blue jeans.

Harry had an athletic, toned build. His fur was gray mixed with blonde and darker browns. he trimmed his fur short so he wasn't hot all the time. At the same time his fur was well kept and shiny. His teeth were yellow stained, not that he didn't brush them, but he smoked, and drank, a lot.

He sighed, running across the carpet of his room, out the door and closing it behind him. He ran downstairs to his bike. He kicked the stand up and grabbed his bag off the floor as he walked his bike out the door. The sun made him squint, he sighed as he hopped on his bike and rode off as fast as he could. He was almost hit many times by cars and almost hit a few pedestrians on his way. He got barked at a lot too, but he ignored it, he didn't have time for a dog fight. It wasn't long before Harry arrived at the college. He pulled up into the parking lot and rode over to the bike locks, he found he didn't have his bike lock on him. he rummaged through his bag hoping to find his bike lock in there, of course there wasn't one in there.

"Crap! Well ah don't have time to go back home, ah guess ah can leave it her. Hope no one steals it." He said as he bit his bottom lip nervously.

He set his bike on the stand with the other bikes and ran as fast as he could to his first class. The school building was huge, lucky for him his first period class was not far. He ran through the doors to the halls and didn't stop, pushing passed many people on the way. He received Growls and dirty looks, but he didn't care, he needed to get to class and fast. He burst into the class out of breath.

"Sorry I'm late professor!"

The professor smiled at him. A short chubby bulldog in a brown suit and glasses with a bowtie on. His head bald, and shiny. "Well mister Doge, how nice of you to join us."

"I'm sorry professor-"

"Don't worry, just come and take a seat mister Doge."

He nodded and walked over to his seat and sat down next to his friend Jasmine. She smiled at him as the teacher continued his lecture.

Jasmine was a pretty Labrador with short black hair and fur with white on her chest. She wore a pink slinky cross front bodysuit, and blue jeans. Her eyes were a dark hazel and full of energy. Her was body toned and muscular, especially her calves and glutes. "Hey, about time you got here."

Harry sighed as he took his books from his bag. "Be nice if mah alarm had gone off like it's s'pposed to."

Jasmine laughed a bit at this. "Yeah like that'd make a difference if you're late."

"Hey I planned to come in on time, but that damn alarm--"

"Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but if you two feel like talking, take it outside my class, thank you."

Harry's ears went down in embarrassment at this. "Sorry professor."

After school was over Harry walked outside to the bike stand to find his bike missing. "What the? God damn it!" Harry ran over to the bike stand, his hands on his head gripping it tight.

"What's wrong Harry?"

He didn't need to turn around, he smelled Jasmines scent, and her concern.

"Mah fuckin bike got stolen." He sighed, a growl came out mixed with it as he started pacing.

"How about I take you back to my place and you can use my bike, cause I'm not a chauffeur."

"fine."

"Come on then."

Jasmine and Harry walked to her car. They got in and drove out of the parking lot. "So, I never get a chance to ask you since I only see you in school, but what do you do for a living anyway?"

"Ah do little odd jobs here 'nd there, landscapin', occasionally work on people's cars, small jobs."

"How much do you know about cars?"

"Almost as much as most mechanics, ah worked with a mechanic in mah old town every summer, taught me quite a bit. Ah charge about thirty bucks an hour for each job."

"How do you make enough money to live in this city? Much less go to college?"

"Ah saved up a lot of money as a kid, doin the same thing ah do her. I get a lot of business by talkin ta people, ah make mahself known. And Ah have some loans taken out ta help me. And a roommate ta help pay the bills. It's a struggle."

"I'm sure it is, you lived in a small town?"

"On a farm, was mah inheritance."

"What are you doing in the city then?"

"Ah don't wanna talk about it."

She turned into a lot where apartments were at. The lot was clean and well paved, all the apartments were well kept on the outside, and good looking.

"Looks like a nice place." Harry said.

"It is, no crime or fights that I've seen. The people here are nice but old, the only one my age around here is my roommate. She parked the car and got out, followed by Harry, he followed her up the stairs to the second floor. Jasmine took her keys out from her pocket and opened the door, Harry followed her in. the apartment was small but cozy, and clean. In a recliner sat a beautiful golden retriever in a robe, she seemed comfortable as she read a book. She looked up and smiled at them.

"Hey Jasmine, I see you brought a friend over." She waved to him, Harry returned the wave.

"Howdy."

"And he's a southern boy I see."

"Yeah, that's not a problem, is it?"

"Not at all, just keep it down in your room, I don't feel like hearing you two go at it."

"It's not like that, he's here to borrow my bike.

"Oh." She went back to reading her book.

"I'll go get my bike, she opened a door and walked into her room and grabbed her bike, she brought it to him and set it in front of him. Here you go, don't break it, don't lose it, I want it in the same condition when I get it back."

"Gotcha." He picked up Jasmines bike and headed towards the door. "Ah'll see you ladies later."

"Bye."

"See you tomorrow."

Harry closed the door behind him and raced to the bottom of the stairwell, and rode off. he hated the feel of the bike, it was too small, his knees coming up to his chest as he peddled, it felt awkward. He pushed through it though he had to hurry he was already late. He rode down about three blocks to a large home with an old, dry rotted fence. Some of the posts were broken in places and in desperate need of repair.

He got off the bike and put the kick stand up before rushing to the front door, he gave a firm knock on the door. It opened after a few seconds and an old, over weight Rottweiler appeared. He wore blue overalls, a white dress shirt and thick glasses. A thick mustache covered his upper lip.

"It is about time you got here, I thought you were not going to come."

"Oh, come on Alvar, ah ain't that late."

"Yes, you are! In Germany if you are late for job you are fired!"

"Well, it's not like you can build this fence yourself, is it?"

"No, I cannot, that is only reason I no fire you! Get to work!" He then slammed the door on him.

Harry sighed. "Great guy." Harry then cracked his fingers. He began by taking a shovel and digging down into the soil next to the fence posts to make pulling them out easier. One by one he pulled them out, it took thirty minutes to get the entire yard free of the fence posts. A large pile of fresh new fence posts laid in the middle of the back yard. He picked the posts up and placed them into the holes where the old posts had been. He beat them in with a hammer and filled it up with dirt. This was exhausting, he didn't keep track of the time, but he noticed the sun had moved and was beginning to set.

The sun had set by the time he had finished, he walked up to the front door and knocked, the dog opened up. "You done, yes?"

"Yup, it took about five hours so That'll be a hundred and fifty."

"You take check." He gave him a check and Harry stuck it into pocket.

"Thank ya kindly sir."

"Yes, but next time come at scheduled time or no work, good day." He then closed the door.

Harry went to Jasmine bike, he got on and rode for home. It took an hour to get home. The streetlights were on even He walked in the front door panting like crazy, he put the bike next to it and sighed. It was good to be home. His roommate, Danny sat on the couch eating pizza the TV turned to Netflix, some weird anime was on.

Danny turned to him and waved. "Took you long enough to get home bro!"

"Yeah well, you try takin a fence down and replacing it on yer own."

"I'm good, Publix has more benefits."

"Publix is a joke, all ya do is deal with assholes all day, and sell overpriced products."

"Yeah well at least I have stable income, unlike you!"

"Yeah but what ah do is man's work." he then dragged himself upstairs and got ready to shower, he turned it on and hopped in. After his shower, he went to his room and pulled on some loose shorts and an undershirt, and went downstairs. He went to the fridge and got a six pack of beer closing the door he flopped onto the couch next to Danny. He popped one open a deal took a drink.

"What're ya watchin?"

"Sword art online."

"Never heard of it."

"Yeah well you don't watch anime either."

Harry chugged the beer and popped open another. He closed his eyes and began to drift off to sleep.

"So, I see you upgraded to a new bike."

"More of a rental, and far from an upgrade." He replied, eyes still closed. "Mah other bike got stolen, so Jasmine was kind enough to let me borrow her bike"

"She did? So, are you two dating yet?"

He sighed. "Ah told ya we're friends Danny, nothing else."

"Dude she likes you! why else would she let you borrow her bike?"

Harry didn't respond as he opened his eyes and chugged the beer, he stood up and put the beers away, I'm going to bed.

"Alright, goodnight."

"Night."

"Sleep tight."

"This again?"

"Don't let the bed bugs bite."

Harry didn't respond as he went upstairs to his room and fell onto his bed out cold as soon as he hit the mattress.
