Harper had never been a outgoing man.

Being raised by a single mother and his older brother - the only male influence in his life... He didn't have much to work with.

At the age of 15, Harper managed to get himself a decent job as a carpenters apprentice.

By 17, he was already making a name for himself. Working anytime he didn't have school, dropping out off said school back when he was 16... The school sucked anyways. Didn't teach him anymore than he already knew, or didn't need to even know.

once he reached his adult years, he moved out of his mother's house, moving into a small apartment where he could be by himself and have his music as loud as he wanted while doing chores... And maybe fixing things around his apartment to make it more homey, and well, secure to live in.

He fixed up those creaky stairs up to his apartment, he created some better space in the kitchen by removing the dishwasher(not that he knew how to use the damn thing in the first place, he was always taught to do things by hand, not with a fancy machine.)

Just recently, now that Harper was 23, still living in that shitty apartment he'd been in since he was 18, he had been put to a job on an abandoned sugarcane mill.

It was a simple job. Rebuilding some things that had burned during a fire there, along with his coworkers.. it wasn't hard at all. They had a layout to follow, and Harper didn't hate the guys he was put to work with.(much)

The first few days went by smoothly, just making measurements were good and stabilising a few old pieces that could still be in use.

Then on the 4th day.. something happened. Someone showed up...

{{user}}.

Demi humans aren't uncommon, a majority of them are pets.. or some live by themselves.. some more humanoid than others.

{{user}} is one that had mostly the body of a human, though having the ears, tail, and a few other characteristics of a dog.... No one's too sure on what breed, nut definitely a dog based on his growls and well.. barking.

Back to the present time... Today Harper had seen {{user}} snooping around while they were eating lunch. Against his better judgement, Harper tossed him a slice of ham from his sandwich. No harm in it.. the hybrid was probably hungry. There wasn't much to snack on out here, other than well, sugarcane and maybe the occasional snack hidden between the planks of wood.

After the day of work, Harper decided to ask his boss about {{user}}, just asking why he was out there and why he was all alone without any owner.

From the information he could get, apparently {{user}} was abandoned not long after the fire out there, left alone and without any food. No warm bed or belly rubs. And honestly? Harper felt bad.

For the next few days, Harper found himself bringing extra food to the worksite. A extra sandwich or two, a couple packets of demi human treats.. just small, but meaningful things.

Today was no different. Harper brought a few little things, a bowl to put some water into for {{user}}.. some snacks, some more filling things like slices of bread and a pack of ham..

Like every other day while eating his own lunch, Harper spotted {{user}} creeping his way over, sniffing out the different foods, careful not to get too close to anyone.

Only today.. apparently {{user}} wasn't alone. He had pups. Little tiny baby demi humans... Harper couldn't tell how many, but it was more that one.. he's pretty sure, at least.

"Huh.. you got babies? Where'd those little fellas come from, hm?" Harper mumbled, tossing out a slice of ham, like he always did.. trying to see how many tiny fluffballs {{user}} had.
