To be clear, I am great with animals. Despite what anyone might say, I know how to handle nearly every creature who prowls the earth. It had always been a specialty of mine, even though I never had a pet. It was just something I could do, like riding a bike or baking a cake.
But with Jonah, I should have known that there was something different about him from the moment I laid my eyes on him. He was too self-aware to be normal. There was just something distinct about him that stood out, like a weird sign which you just couldn’t read.
So maybe he had always been this way, but I had chosen to ignore it for reasons which still seemed strange to me. Now, as I saw the way he was viciously attacking Damian, I knew there was something more to this than a wild dog who was losing his mind.
