Jupiter perked his ears up listening carefully to the sudden cries. He followed the desperate sounds ending up in an alley filled with trash.
Jupiter began noticing shadows reflecting on a brick wall of a man hitting a woman. His actions are a no. Jupiter internally snarled while spreading his legs apart.
"Shut up!" The man screamed as he hit his target.
The woman after receiving a few blows fell down hitting various trash bags.
The man suddenly reached down toward his victim. His hands gripping her shirt on each side ripping it open.
She whimpered sobbing, " No, please no!" The woman glanced everywhere but the man.
The man grinned reaching for the button of her pants.
The woman placed her hands on his arms trying to deter them.
Jupiter growl and lunged at the man.
The unknown man hearing a sudden sound pulled out a gun. He turned around only to see a colossal bleeding dog with fearsome jaws coming at him in mid-air. The man aimed his weapon at Jupiter pulling the trigger.
A bullet hit Jupiter's thigh.
Jupiter fell to the ground whimpering. Every part of him ached. Blood surged from both wounds.
The woman watched for a moment dropping her jaw. "Someone help," she screamed again, as she started scampering back. Her back hit a multitude of trash bags.
It was to no avail, it seemed as the man aimed the gun at her.
Jupiter forced his aching weary body up and lunged again himself at the man
.
The criminal fired off a couple of rounds missing.
Jupiter opened his jaws and caught the man's arm. He bit down tearing into flesh. Blood seeped down the man's arm leaking into Jupiter's mouth.
The criminal gasped screaming. His eyes were wide as he took the butt of his gun to Jupiter's head.
Jupiter flinched as the butt of the gun made contact with his head. He still held on, growling as he continued his assault.
"Get off of me, Get off of me you lousy mutt." The criminal spoke while continually hitting Jupiter.
Jupiter finally released the man falling to the ground.
The criminal stood up and darted away. Only to be met with police patrolling the streets.
Two officers noticed the running man and his gun. They immediately jumped to action.
"Drop your weapon!" The officers yelled while pointing their weapons at him.
The horrified woman went over to Jupiter. She gulped as she reached her hands out. The woman's hands shook.
Jupiter whimpered as his vision began fading.
"Thank you, thank you. "She gulped and then hugged Jupiter petting him. " I can't thank you enough."
Tears slipped from Jupiter's eyes.
The woman noticing Jupiter's plight buried her head in his fur. She lifted her head as tears cascaded down her face. She screamed, "Someone help, help him, please!"
Jupiter closed his eyes envisioning a grassy field with Boris standing there. "Here boy, here Jupiter." Jupiter began hearing Boris's old rusty voice. "Come on get up. it ain't your time."
Jupiter whined opening his eyes. He was trying to move.
The woman gasped covering her mouth. She moved closer to Jupiter. "Stop don't move."
Jupiter tried dragging himself out of the alleyway using his front paws. 'She doesn't get it. Must go he is calling me. I will make it there.' He thought before blacking out in the process.
The officers quickly placed the criminal in cuffs. An officer hearing the racket she was making went to help the woman.
She then recounted her story of how the dog saved her.
A few days later
"Once again this is Ericka Castaneda. A few days ago we learned the tragic story of a young husky name Jupiter, who not only saved his owner, but also a young woman from an unfortunate fate. Today we are at St Reeves hospital, where Jupiter and his owner are being reunited."
Behind the news crew Megumi was walking with Jupiter on a leash careful not to rub his bandaged thigh, chest, or head on anything.
Boris was in a wheelchair being wheeled out by one of the nurses.
Jupiter sniffed the air, smelling his owner, he yanked and pulled forward. He let loose small whines glancing over at Megumi.
Boris's face lit up, and he excitedly bounced around. "Jupiter!" he yelled when he saw the husky.
Megumi let go of the leash. Jupiter ran up to his owner. When he reached Boris, he jumped in the wheelchair with him.
Jupiter licked all over Boris's face.
Boris wept as he noticed the state of his dog. "Jupiter, what happened? you big stupid mutt!"
Megumi smiled and replied, "Our Jupiter is a hero just like you."
Large tears gathered in his eyes. "So, you fought a war did ya boy?"
Jupiter barked happily licking Boris's face some more.
