Pup #340

Among the unaffiliated, Aberdeen stands out as a Bulldog who is stitched out of stoicism and a hidden soft spot. Friends learned long ago not to interrupt Aberdeen near the cracked freeway loop, especially with a bent spoon argued to be a tiny shovel in hand. Old pups warn the young ones that Aberdeen is harder to mislead than to befriend. Aberdeen works toward the kind of evening where machines hum, friends are near, and nobody has to be brave.
