Stella squinted, finding her vision blurred. She took out her binoculars for a clearer look.
In the middle of the river were two rubber boats filled with men and women. They were armed with makeshift weapons, sticks and pitchforks, and they were attacking something on the window ledge of a fifth-floor apartment.
A drenched dog was on the ledge, baring its teeth and growling ferociously at the attackers.
"Come on, kill it! We'll have meat tonight," one of them yelled, prompting an excited cheer from the others. They swung their weapons at the dog, who jumped and dodged but refused to retreat.
Ever since the sudden disaster, food supplies had become scarce. Many people had starved to death. The sight of a dog, even one as skinny as this one, was enough to stir their hunger.
"It's meat! Who wouldn't want it?" their eyes glowed with anticipation. Stella watched them, feeling a pang of sympathy for the dog.
She was about to turn away when she recognized the dog. It was Cooper! She had named him Cooper after she had found him abandoned by his owners. He had been living on the streets near her university, scavenging from the trash bins outside the local fast-food restaurants.
Stella, who had been selling dog food at the time, had taken pity on him. She would often leave some food for him or toss him a hot dog.

At first, he was very cautious, resisting Stella's approach, only eating after she walked away.
