It was a beautiful summer day in New Orleans and a lanky female yellow lab walked down the streets, looking for something to do. She was new to the area, and even more new as a stray. She sighed and sat on a street corner where a man was playing the guitar. She thingyed her head at the sound. Her owner used to play that but it was much louder. She bobbed her head a little to the beat as she watched the human play. Other humans were throwing money in the man's guitar case and she smiled to herself.
Just like home, she thought.
She was jerked out of her thoughts however, when she heard footsteps behind her. She looked behind her nervously, then let out a yelp as she came face to face with a dogcatcher. She stood up and ran as fast as she could, knocking over the man's guitar case in the process, money scattering everywhere. The dogcatcher ran after her yelling for her to come. Why was he going after her? She had a collar on. The light green collar flopped on her neck as she ran, looking around for somewhere to hide. She didn't see anything except narrow alleyways that probably leaded to dead ends. She did the next best thing. She screamed for help.
"Somebody help me! Please! Dogcatcher! Help!"
She kept on running down the streets, hoping that someone will help her. She was getting tired.
(Sorry if it doesn't make any sense. I'm tired and it's late here. Had the urge to come on here. And yes, I know, there are mentions of Soapy's past in here. I've been busy as a bee lately and I haven't been able to work on her profile. Bear with me guys, ok?)

Britany, a swanky looking Irish setter, was watching this. Of course, yes she was a stray but she always had her stray friends, Scott, Jack, Mitch and Ginger. But this girl needed help and she knew it. She may be the prettist stray but she didnt really act like it. She wanted to help out immediantly. She set of running after the dogcatcher to leap onto him but then he'll catch her. Then there was her pal, Tony. HE had a collar, maybe she could borrow his. She sprinted down to find him. "Tony!!!" she yelled. Her boyfriend stepped out and panted happily. "Britany!! I havnt seen you in ages!!!" Britany smiled then asked him, "Can I borrow your collar?" Tony slid it off and handed it to her. "Oh but do bring it back" Tony said. Britany gave him a nose nuzzle and said, "I will" Then she set of to help the labador. She was speedy so it wasnt a problem. Soon she caught up and pulled the dogcatcher back.

Hidden within the shadows of an alleyway, the bi-black Shetland sheepdog watches the scene with an amused smirk, one brow quirked as the Labrador Retriever makes a run for it. "How unfortunate, the poor beast.." He thinks as he sneers disdainfully, settling back on his haunches, his tail swishing softly behind him.
His firey gaze turns softly as the Irish Setter springs in to snatch the dog catcher, and his brow quirks.
"Now there is something one doesn't see every day...such a selfless act...puh...you've GOT to be kidding me." He growls lowly, lifting himself to his paws, his mane bristling slightly. He begins to turn to head back down the alleyway, his expression no more than an empty glare, that evil hamster wheel working in his sadistic little mind. One ear pricking up, he stops, a twisted smile forming upon his muzzle, teeth bared.
"Well, perhaps on the other claw, this might be worthy of stepping in on...." He speaks smoothly to himself, folding his wings back till they disappear completely from his form, and he moves back into position at the edge of the alleyway, his bright crimson eyes dulling into a soft almond coloration - that of what would appear on a "living", normal dog - settling back on his haunches, he gives a soft bark to alert the Labrador of his presence and hiding place among the alley.

Not only did the labador heard it but the Irish setter also heard the soft bark. She stared up looking to know how barked. As she couldnt see she asked the labador "Are you alright?" She slid of Tonys collar, making sure the labador didnt think she was Tony herself. OOC~Nice to see someone back

The Lab was unaware of the help she was getting until she heard the bark. She skidded to a stop and looked around quickly, suddenly noticing the dog going after the dogcatcher. Her green eyes drifted off to the area where she heard the bark but then back to the dogcatcher. Shouldn't she help that dog out? After all, it was the Lab's fault this was happening. She shook her head and decided to run in the alley where the bark came from. Maybe this dog and her could team up and help the other dog.
As she entered the dark alley she looked around for the source of the bark.
"Hello?", she called. "Is anyone here?"
She sniffed the air and picked up the scent of garbage but she couldn't catch scent of the dog. Had she just been hearing things? She walked deeper into the alley and sniffed around. The only scent there was garbage. It was as if whoever barked at her had disappeared. She remembered something awhile ago, when her owner's mother had spoke about angels. Her owner had gotten into a very bad bike accident and fell head first onto the concrete. But for some reason it didn't crack his skull. It just bled very badly. She remembered her owner's mother's words. "You defiantly had a guardian angel by your side."
For a long time the lab hadn't understood what these 'angels' were but she had a pretty good idea of what they were. People who helped other people in their time of need. Just like now.
Was there an angel helping her right now? Who lead her to this place?
(sorry it's kinda short and dumb. And hello to you guys! *waves paw*)

Considering, the lab had been ok and Britany manged to take down the dagcatcher, she went the same directoin as the lab (Only not knowing so) to find out who bark. It was a bit of a dump in that alley and she didnt really know who was in there so she kept low making sure nothing jumped out on her. She was almost on her stomach before relizing she was lost. She was lost and didnt know the way out. It was a little foggy too in here so it made it all the worse. so she dicided to keep going. OOC~Hiya soapy.

With the grin of a devil, he makes himself visible, slipping up behind the Labrador smoothly, his tail swaying lightly behind him.
“Madam...I see you were having a bit of a tiff with that uniformed human....a relief to see the irish setter lady having came to your rescue..” His voice was as smooth as silk, though to anyone who may have encountered him before would know those honey coated words hid a bitter taste underneath.
His fur bristles slightly, then settles back down as he pads around her to sit down in front of her.
“Please forgive my intrusion...and how rude of me to not introduce...”
He gives a half bow, bringing his front paw up to his chest.
“I am Akil. If I may be so bold as to ask you name?”
((OOC Hai guys Forgive my rustiness, been awhile since I've played a scruffy old bad guy on all fours, I'm used to the two-legged type. XD and man you guys is FAST with the updating XD))

OOC~ Somtimes I stay online to see whats goin to happen next BIC~ Britany continued to crawl until she heard a voice. A males at that. The only males voice she wanted to hear right now was Tonys but no cigar, it wasnt him. She listened closely, wanted to run away but, she couldnt now. Not when there was two people in there. They may see her shadow. She could see thiers clearly and saw one bow. "Whats going to happen next" she whispered. She hoped no one had heard her. She felt a feeling to, run and to go on in to see what was happening.

The Yellow Lab walked through the foggy alleyway, looking all over. She went near a trash can and smelled it, yelping when a large rat leaped out. She pinned her ears back as she continued along, watching for any sign of the dog that barked at her.
She stood near an old crate and suddenly heard a voice behind her. She whirled around and she came face to face with another dog, this one a big black shetland sheepdog. She leaped back as the fur on the back of her neck stood up and her ears pinned back a little in nervousness.
Who is this guy?, she wondered.
The reply was soon answered as the shetland circled in front of her and sat down. She watched him closely. Something about him wasn't right. She forced a smile though and acted friendly.
"Hello Akil", she said softly. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Soapy".
She stared at him for a few minutes then realized he was the one who barked at her. "You're the one who barked at me to come in here, weren't you?", she asked softly. "Where's the dog who saved me from the dogcatcher? Is she okay? Maybe we should go after her." Soapy turned her head towards the entrance, looking around. "I don't see or smell her", said Soapy. "I hope she's okay. I'd like to thank her."
She looked back at Akil, suddenly feeling very small.
(OOC-You gotta be quick Akil! We're on a roll here lol and it's nice to meet you)

“A pleasure, I can assure you.” He gives a small nod of his head as she introduces herself, his ears pricked up. As she speaks, his brow slowly lifts, and a grin begins to curve upon his muzzle.
“Oh, rest assured...she hasn’t gone very far. Actually, I have a feeling she’s very close...best you stay here...the fog is growing thicker.” He gives a soft shake of his tail as he pushes himself up to stand, slipping away like a snake as he moves further into the alleyway, his keen senses picking up on the 'lost' setter. With a soft purr, he prowls closer to the setter’s hiding place, lowering himself back on his haunches.
“M’lady...” He softly addresses the setter without confronting her face to face, knowingly, only a foot or so away from where she hides. “Madam Soapy wishes to address you....won’t you come out? It’s safe...”
The whiskers on his slender snout twitch, and he settles back on his haunches cooly.

Soapy smiled softly at Akil and she shivered a little when he grinned. He was very creepy but Soapy was grateful for him helping her out. She looked around at the foggy area. "Where could she be?", Soapy asked. "And how did it get so foggy? It was sunny a minute ago."
Soapy saw Akil starting to walk further into the alley and she followed him closely, half squinting. "Wait up. I can't see very well in this fog. She didn't see Akil lower himself so she bumped into him, yelping lightly. "Sorry", said Soapy, drooping her ears nervously.
As Akil called for the other dog Soapy almost giggled at the nickname he gave her.
"Just plain Soapy is fine Akil", she said with a smile and looked ahead where he was looking. Her ears pricked, listening for the other dog. "Yes! I am very friendly. I won't hurt you! You saved me! I am very thankful".
(OOC-Blah! Sorry it's so short! And Akil reminds me of a cat lol)

Nicky, a 4 HY(Human Year) old Pure Bred German Shepherd, wandered the streets on Vacation from San Francisco, trying to find a place to stay for the 2 weeks paid vacation in New Orleans.
"I Swear, After a 13 Hour Plane Ride In a Crate in the cargo bay of a 737 you really get stiff in the muscles all over..." He Said to Himself, stretching a bit on the sidewalk. he continued to walk before comming to an allyway and glacing down it. he saw the Dogs in the allyway and stopped, looking down it and watching and listening the dogs talk. "Hmm, whats this?" he said quietly to himself.

Britany crept out to come face to face with these two. "Hi my name is Britany" she said. She smiled warmly noticing thses two dogs were friendly. "And may I ask, who are you?" Her nose twitched slightly at the rotten smell of trash but kept a straight face, waiting for an introductoin.

Soapy watched closely and patiently for the other dog to come out. When she did, Soapy saw it was an Irish Setter.
"Hello Britnay", Soapy smiled. "My name is Soapy. It's very nice to meet you and thank you so much for earlier."
Soapy gave her tail a happy wag and her nose too, twitched at the garbage. She turned to Akil.
"Hey Akil", she started. "Can we go somewhere else.....somewhere less.....rotten and gross".
She sensed Britnay's discomfort around the garbage and Soapy herself was getting a little dizzy from the smell.
