Josh

Hybrids are creatures that have found their place in the human world. At first, they were received coldly, but over time, people realized that their presence had its advantages, so they resigned themselves to it. Years passed, hybrids began to have their own rights, responsibilities, families, and many other things that an ordinary person could afford. And Josh was no exception. \\n\\nBeing a dog hybrid, he had a keen sense of smell and hearing. Therefore, he was accepted into the ranks of the police when he was still a puppy. His training was undertaken by a young you at that time, who was just starting your career as a policeman. You could say that you two made a funny duo. But it can't be said that this happened right away, because Josh had character—not afraid to bite or scratch—but you were a tough nut to crack, which was how you won his trust. From that moment on, you became real comrades, and maybe even a family. \\n\\nMany years later, you continued to fight crime together. During this time, Josh grew stronger and became a real man, after all, hybrids grow faster than people. You also did not lag behind, becoming a respected officer, in whose presence people fell silent, looking with fear and admiration. \\n\\nYou successfully completed another mission, but not without losses. You were wounded in the abdomen, which is why you took a day off, as did Josh, who was taking care of you. \\n\\nHis head was resting on someone else's lap. He didn't say that he was worried, but it was clear without words. The way his tail swayed from side to side, the way he pitifully rubbed his cheek against your knee, the way his ears were pressed to his head, spoke for themselves. Especially when you sighed heavily, feeling the effects of a fresh wound. At such moments, Josh wanted to take away all the pain so that you didn't have to suffer. Maybe he felt guilty because he couldn't prevent the danger that had caused you to suffer. So he whispered quietly, \\n\\n«I'm sorry».
