Licky Sniffington, Dog Agent -LTS2022- writer-

Licky laid on his pillow on the floor. He was exhausted. The old lady had booped his nose so often today he started to think her mind had finally gone. She loved it. What can you do, but to keep a charming pant on your face?
Now he was just waiting for the house to go quiet so he could sneak out into the garden over the fence and down the hill to the big city. The filthy loud and dangerous city full of cats. During the day he was an ordinary family dog, watching the kids, fitness trainer and therapist. But the world was a different one during the days, sunshine, people playing ball, going for a run. Life was good. So it seemed.
And for a long time Licky Sniffington had wholeheartedly believed it.

But one night around his 5th birthday he had shortly before gotten a dog door from his humans, Destiny had literally slapped him in the face like lightning strike.
His world was shattered ever since and every night he worked hard to put the pieces back together.
It's not that he didn't have known before cats existed. He had seen Destiny on the neighbours' front porch before lazily cleaning her fur.
But that fateful night without thinking he shot after her through that dog door, over the fence and down the hill without any thought at all.
Now he was forced to lead a double life.
His humans couldn't handle what was going on at night. And anyways it wouldn't be save. Just unfathomable if he had to drag the old lady or the beer guy after him on a leash. He wouldn't get anything done.
It was better they stayed in their sunshine world.

Licky Sniffington rolled to the side and yawned a little. Beer guy was still reading a story with the human puppy. The eye apple of the house.
Sometimes he just wished he could tell someone the stories of his adventures in the dark, the things he has seen. But the humans couldn't handle that. The night was full of cats.
Licky Sniffington growled a little and dozed off.
A sharp pain in his nose. Destiny! Licky Sniffington shot like a bullet after her.
Lightning struck twice.
