When I was young, I thought I lived a normal childhood. It was only as I grew older and life became tougher and tougher, did I realize my childhood was much harder than most. As an orphan, life could be tough, but I always looked towards the things I had in life, rather than looking at the things I didn't have. And I was content with that mindset and lifestyle. Until I met Buddy. At first, the sight of a wolf staring at me scared me like it would any other child. But, almost instantly, I got a different sense from this wolf, a sense of security and trust I had never had before with any animal, or human for that matter. Once Buddy started bringing me things, things that held the keys to my life before I went to the orphanage such as my adoption papers, I realized this was no ordinary wolf. Now I find myself embarking on a journey to find my birth parents and reconnect, with my trusty partner by my side. Will we make it to meet my parents? What dark secrets will I uncover along the way?
