“The Lost gather at the old campfire on moonless nights and trade the names of breeds that never got to exist. Grit always goes quiet when they reach the fighting dogs. Patch always saves him the dry spot.”

The living story
The story so far
Patch was the dandy of Victorian England — white as a wedding, nervous as a debutante, bred for the show ring more than the rathole. The fashion moved on and Patch didn't, which is the most Victorian way possible to disappear. The Jack Russell got his fire. The fire never asked permission.
Happening now
He still grooms himself for an hour every morning and refuses to sit on damp grass, and the pack has quietly started saving him the dry spots. Grit pretends to find this ridiculous. Grit saves him the driest spot of all.
What may come
There's a portrait show coming — every Spark gets painted — and Patch has already chosen his pose. It will be the best portrait in the universe. He has already told everyone. Twice.

- because someone must refuse the damp grass
The Lost
The St. John’s water dog, the Talbot, the Hawaiian poi dog — real dogs, really gone. The pack keeps their bowls full anyway. Extinction, here, is just a longer walk.
