The Dog's Owner

The mutated dog continued growling at the two men walking towards the Black Haven compound. 

The two innocent passersby got startled when they caught sight of the growling dog. They instinctively retreated a few steps, before calming down when they noticed that it has an owner.

One of the two, who seems to be the decision-maker, haughtily stared at Anna before clicking his tongue in displeasure.

"Keep a leash on your dog. What if it accidentally bites people? Do you have the credits to send them to a doctor?" the man said matter-of-factly. He then examined Anna's group and found nothing outstanding except for the bulldog-like (bullmastiff) dog. The small brown-furred dog was tilting its head as if in confusion while staring at the growling dog.

Takaw barked once and as if his bark was filled with authority, the mutated dog's growling immediately ceased.
