Spirit guides don’t always show themselves to other canines, so I’m going to assume Leland can’t see them.
Curling up inside his newly dug out den was the only thought on Leland’s mind as he trudged through the snow that was becoming increasingly deeper and deeper. Although he was a creature built to race through the snow, widespread paws, thick winter proof coat, and his barrel chest were all proof of that, Leland was having more trouble than he had anticipated returning to his new home. His fishing excursion had taken longer than he had intended and the snow had come down quicker than he had thought it would, given that he was tired from wading in the icy waters and the cold was finally getting to him, Leland was not enjoying the return trip nearly as much as he had enjoyed leaving his den.
With every step the red hued husky took, he thoughts became more pessimistic and his normally jovial mood darkened. It was two tiny puppy voices that interrupted Leland’s uncharacteristic thoughts, though he could barely make them out, and Leland cursed the wind and snow for making it so that he could not have smelt the children before hearing them. Sight alluded him as well, but Leland turned in the direction of the voices and found that sight only alluded him as the two were attempting to shelter against a tree which had blocked his vision. Finding the tiny paw prints in the snow, Leland followed them around the tree and came face to face with the two pups.
One pup had raccoon rings around his eyes and the other had two different colored eyes as Leland had himself, though the puppy sported an emerald eye instead of Leland’s chocolate one. Their presence confused the dog, for he was almost sure that none of the members of Aniwaya, though he hadn’t meant them all so he couldn’t be sure, had puppies and certainly not of their age. They looked to be a good six months or so. "What’er you pups doing out in weather like this? Yer both gonna freeze yer tails off." The husky shook out his fur, waiting to hear their answers. At least one of the puppies looked distressed, and Leland, as always ready to help out, forgot about his own frozen fur and chilled limbs.
