Lying still among the tumbling piles of puppies, there is a bear.
Wait. No.
Correction: Lying still among the tumbling piles of puppies, there is a dog that's alarmingly close to the general size and shape of a bear. Potentially mistaken for a bear at first glance, maybe. But not actually a bear. Chin resting on its paws and eyes closed, it's seemingly oblivious to the kitten batting at its nose and the set of teeth tugging on one of its ears. The only sign of life is the slow, staccato thump of a heavy tail against the artificial turf of the stadium floor.
