Destiny
Baby Killer is Jared’s pit bull. Originally, Baby Killer belonged to Richie. But when Richie moved in with Jared and his mom, Baby Killer became immediately attached to Jared: she followed him around, snuggled with him in bed, and licked his face when he was sad. Baby is one of Jared’s healthiest relationships, because she provides him with unconditional love—which is ironic, given the fact that she is a named Baby Killer and might have been expected to be a violent dog. The bond that they share is what makes Jared particularly devastated when he has to euthanize Baby due to her heartworm.

She patted her jeans as she walked out. Probably forgot her lighter in the truck.
The world is hard, his mom liked to say. You have to be harder.
Baby licked his cheek.
“Gonna miss you,” Jared whispered in her ear.
Baby lifted a leg and farted. Jared laughed, and then it turned into crying that faded into more sniffling.
