The Story

Howling wind outside makes Jake curl up, cover up, trying to hide from the real world. He's a brave and aggressive guy on most days, but the bitter cold of a snow storm causes him to recoil every time. His bravery is more apparent on warmer sunny days that warm his muscles.

The fire is roaring and it holds his gaze. Cuddled nearby is Sadie, the cold queen. She is loving the sound of the wind howling around their over-heated home. He will protect her at all costs. That's who he is and what he does. Her job is to be cute and make him look macho. She is good at her job.

Hunger is beginning to overtake him and no one seems interested in fetching him a meal. Sadie and the other inhabitants are napping and Jake is listening to his hunger pangs. Who's going to feed this poor hungry hero?

What's a guy to do? Head for the kitchen, the food is there, the answer to his dilemma is food. Looking around he spots the storage container, "Turkey, Grain Free". That must be it. Sniffing. Touching with a paw, pulling back, listening. Nothing. He touches it again,  it moves, just a little rocking.  He hooks a nail in the edge, by accident. Voila! It tumbles over, lid opens. Grain free turkey kibbles spill out into his face. For just a moment he thinks he may have died and gone to heaven. Then he hears it. Click noises coming his way. Sadie gives him the look. He might be in big giant trouble in a few, but right now, LET'S  EAT!
