Kate & Ian

Rushed into the room in Ian's arms, Tuka was laid down on the nearest table. Kate and another woman were in the room, all prepared for helping the wounded wolf. Their first task was to fit a mask over his muzzle and anesthetize him.

As soon as Tuka was out, they connected an IV to his leg, and began to clean each of his wounds, and shave the fur away from them. The three humans worked rapidly but carefully, until each of the wounds had been treated and bandaged up. The mask was removed from the wolf, and he was placed in small recovery pen, with the IV still attached to his leg.

After getting everything cleaned up and back in order, Ian sat down next to the cage, waiting to make sure Tuka woke up alright.

Tuka

Tuka slowly woke up and looked around. This wasn't his enclosure. This was a cage. He hated cages, but he knew the ways of humans after living around them for so long. He just sat and looked at Ian, wondering what he was doing here.
