Summary: When Will was young, there was always an excuse.


When Will was young, there was always an excuse.

"He has an owner, and we can't afford to feed it."

"Landlord doesn't want dog hair."

But Scruff's owner had hit him, and Will would have fed the skinny pup a share of his own meals in a heartbeat.

Hannibal doesn't really care for dogs, but he finds a home with secure fences and large grounds. He broke a man's neck for kicking a terrier, and buys a fancy new dog bowl each week.

And every time Will picks a hair off Hannibal's suit, he knows how much he is loved.
