A lonely German Sheperd walks into a bar and meets the love of his life...

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It was a cool spring day in March of 1969, blue - grey Altostratus clouds littered the sky as soft clumps of hard packed snow

covered the cracked, faded streets of Greenwich village, New York.&nbsp; I slowly trotted down the crumbling sideways of the dull, bleak city

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; on my way to nowhere and any where that would have me:&nbsp; my paws patted the rough concrete of the inner city being dragged&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; behind by my limp, sagging body.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I finally reached my destination, a bar sandwiched between two adjacent buildings constructed of brick and mortar at the foundation&nbsp;

and concrete as the floors ascend. I swiftly pitter-pattered my way up to the solid wooden oak double doors, pulled the heavy wood stained door

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; open and made my way inside. Inside the air was foul, smelled of alcohol and Three Dog Night's "One" was playing on the jukebox&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; but this was better than standing out in the cold.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I walked around the right corner coming into the lobby of the "Stonewall Inn" as I came to a standstill just over the thresh-hold into the bar's

lobby I saw people sitting at the bar having drinks, standing around, laughing, talking and genuinely having a good time. I stepped toward the bar and&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; got the attention of the bartender and sighed "Bourbon, on the rocks" before taking a seat at on a bar stool and putting my muzzle in my&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; paws.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The tender' brings me my bourbon then walks away I stare at the glass before me; its brown thickness makes me sick but it reminds me of&nbsp;

home. I lift the glass in my large gaping paw to my muzzle and gingerly take a sip; I cough, hack and carry on my eyes watering intensely everyone&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; in the bar just glances at me not really taking notice.

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Suddenly 'she' storms in, eyes a blur, tears streaming down 'her' face she races up to the bar snaps at the bartender and softly 'her' voice&nbsp;

&nbsp;cracks "T-The u-usual" 'she' blubbered through heavy sniffles and sat down on a bar stool the bartender soon brought 'her' a glass of whiskey&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and 'she' gulped it down without even a hesitation 'she' then slammed the glass back down on the wooden counter sniffled and sighed .

&nbsp;&nbsp; I watched 'her' worriedly 'she' was a thin, scruffy averagely built young man I'd say no older than eighteen years of age way too young to be&nbsp;

drinking that's for sure. The young man looked around nervously before returning to his drink, I felt pity for the young man the "Stonewall Inn"&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; wasn't exactly the best place for a young person to be especially for someone his age.

&nbsp;&nbsp; I was no better at twenty-two the worst part was that it was my birthday that day and I was spending it in a bar,&nbsp; I left my so called "home"&nbsp;

&nbsp; at six o'clock that morning with only one-hundred dollars in my pocket and a head full of steam.&nbsp; You see my kind (Anthropomorphic animals)

&nbsp;aren't welcome in New York or literally anywhere for that matter the world just seems to hate us for some awful reason and my 'brothers/sisters'

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and I can't go anywhere without being yelled or shot at.

&nbsp; &nbsp; I return to staring intently at the young man watching him with curiosity, he suddenly jumps to his feet his long blonde hair cascading&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; down his back almost touching his ass his baby blue shirt hugs his body snuggly his blue jeans cling to every muscle on his legs&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; his noodle-y twig like arms fall to his sides as he hurriedly makes his way over to the dance floor.

&nbsp; Once the young man makes it over to the dace floor he starts dancing as if his life depends on it! His arms shoot up into the air as&nbsp;

&nbsp; his hips start to sway it's almost hypnotizing the way he moves his body to the beat. I guess he screwed up a move or something because

&nbsp; as I watch him, he stumbles, trips then starts to fall; as he starts to rapidly descend toward the floor however I jump up from the stool I was

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sitting on and faster than a lightening bolt I run toward him.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Once I reach the young man I extend my arms and 'take a knee' the young man then lands like a rag doll in my paws,&nbsp; blinking the young man

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; looks around wildly, then looks up at my very concerned frowning muzzle. "What the fu- Hey! put me down!" he shouts with utter rage

&nbsp;in his voice "I was only trying to help" I say bluntly the young man just grunted "Ugh! Well I am a strong independent woman who can take

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; care of herself, thank you very much!" and proceeds stands up as if nothing happened.

&nbsp; &nbsp; "Sorry, Princess" I scoffed, before returning to the bar. The young er... person followed, once there they tapped on my shoulder

"Um, Excuse me!" they shout. "What!" I growl turning around my hulking G-Shep frame simply towering over them their eyes widen&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; as they start to back away slowly with a fear I had never seen up until that moment.

&nbsp;&nbsp; I put my paw on their shoulder to both steady them and keep them from moving. "You tapped on my shoulder now what do you want!"

I huff annoyed "H-How dare you speak the way you just spoke to me to a woman!" the young man yells at me. "Look, Lady I'm sorry" I

&nbsp;say sarcastically "Maybe if you wouldn't have been such a bitch about it I wouldn't have called you princess, OK" "Fair enough" the 'lady'&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; replied.

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; "Hey!" the 'lady' calls out "I know your type? Anthro? right?" 'she' asks "Yep" I answer&nbsp; 'she' looked me up and down "Impressive"&nbsp;

&nbsp;'she' states finally.&nbsp; "What the hell are you talking about?" I sigh. "Your musculature is very impressive" 'she' smiles obviously interested in&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; my body.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; "Look lady not interested" I reply "I never said you were" 'she' states firmly.&nbsp; I had to hand it to her there I never said I was interested&nbsp;

in her.&nbsp; I stop for a brief moment and look around me before turning back to the 'young lady' in front of me and thought for a second.&nbsp;

"Well since your here can I buy you a drink?" I ask hoping 'she'd' say no. 'She' paused for a minute as if in thought then goes "Sure"

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; then adds "Why the hell not."&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; I walk over to the bar and ask the bartender for two drinks. 'She' and I both sit in silence sipping our drinks until 'she' suddenly pipes up.

"Thank you for saving me back there" before 'she' said those words I was bringing my stein of beer to my lips.&nbsp; After 'she' said those words&nbsp;

I thought for a moment then picked up my stein of beer to bring it to my muzzle. I stop halfway and look at my full stein wide eyed.

&nbsp; "I-um" I stutter. I bump her left arm with my right elbow and say "Anything for such a lovely lady" 'she' blushes and smiles &nbsp;

&nbsp;"Uh, thank you" "Anytime" I smirk, then go back to my beer...&nbsp;
