Unique markings
As days went by, they noticed his unique brindle markings became more pronounced, especially when wet. After a bath, Emma pointed, “
Look at his stripes!” Alex leaned closer, fascinated. “It’s like he’s got tiger stripes,” he remarked. Mrs. Johnson chuckled, “
He’s got style.” Each bath revealed the intricate patterns more clearly, sparking curiosity and admiration.
The family started to wonder about Nyx’s lineage, but they were still unaware of the extraordinary truth hidden beneath his striking appearance.
