Lucy

i'm not a toy

Lucy hates children. Ever since being sold into slavery as a tiny puppy, she has been forced to do tricks to entertain small people. They pull her tail, dress her in ridiculous festive costumes and hold tennis balls tantalisingly out of reach, laughing stupidly. Lucy knows that once the novelty wears off, even these attentions will become rare, and only the fear of being left by the side of the road stops her sinking her teeth into their chubby ankles.
