Very well written.

αριστη διηγησις!
αναγιγνωσκων τοδε τις αἰσθησις ἐπαθον, ἥ βλαπτουσα εν τῳ μου θυμῳ έμενον· εἰ οὑτως εὑρησοιμι ἀδικησαμενον κυνα, ἰσως ἀν πραξοιμι. τα των ἑταιρων ἐργα γε οὐ δικαια· εἰθε φιλιτεροι εἰεν!
οὐ μονον το τους λογους συλλεγειν εστιν ἀγαθον, ἀλλα και ἐγελασα πολλακις.
ἡ μεν γραψασα μοι καλλη φαινεται, τοις δε γραψομενοις προθυμος ειμι. φιλητεον πασι τοδε!
χαριν ἐχω!

Absolutely amazing! It's great to see Alex show such a humane and teenage emotion. His stubbornness just shows that he's on the road to healing. Perfectly executed and the words just shone the way you wrote them. Keep it up!

Very cute story! I feel like this could be a precursor to a John Wick story. Someone kills/kidnapps the puppy, and Alex goes super spy on them.

Stubborn much, Alex?

"A dog is for life" warmed my heart. Nice job on this.
