Poor Thing

Tom looked on his pad as he hurried along through the terminal. His flight still wasn't leaving for three hours. Maybe i'll grab a quick meal... He decided as he shuffled down the starport. A sign had said there'd be a King's Deli somewhere along here. To the right there was just windows, with a view of Earth slowly spinning. Then through the crowd he noticed a small, lonely uplift, looking confused next to the window. It seemed scared, confused, and it was alone. He walked over to it.
"Hey-"
The uplift wasn't wearing any clothes, except a collar. So he had to be young.
"-where's your parents little guy?"
He looked around.
The uplift just looked up at him, scared.
"It's alright. We'll find them."
The uplift stayed quiet.
"I'm just gonna give them a call."
Tom took a knee and tried using the blue personal assistant computer on the uplift's collar. He clicked the button, but nothing happened.
The uplift looked really scared now.
"Looks like it's broken. Don't worry, i'm trying to help. Looks like you got a tag - we'll just do this the old fashioned way."
The tag had three names, Ray Bagley, Sarah, and David.
"Is your name Ray?"
The canine just looked at him, and nodded slightly.
"We'll just look for Sarah and David, okay?"

It's amazingly better than my usual canine drawings, even if it's not that good

Big thanks to Skailla, she gave me permission to practice with her "Wolpyz" [link] I've been practicing with Wolpyz in art class and I've gotten immensely better, thank you !
I think I subconsciously picked Wolpy's color - not intentionally, though.

But I totally stole Skailla's ears I hope she doesn't mind lol.
_{Well, how she draws ears, anyways.}

The picture started out as a quick little doodle for practicing, then I decided to upload it, but It didn't scan well so I made a digital lineart and picture for it, then I decided to add a background, then a backstory... Voila'!

_{Btw: His paws all go inwards on purpose. He's supposed to look scared/insecure.}
