Why this must be read:

I like stories that view either Solo or Kuryakin or both through an outsider’s perspective. Here’s a short amusing piece that plays with the idea of “The Innocent,” only this one has four legs.

Nothing special about him really, but let that be a warning: the most dangerous of humans are the least impressive looking ones. He wasn’t huge and sweaty like the ones who came for the garbage cans every few days- he was actually smaller than most. His hair (somewhat like my own yellow fur when it is clean) was a bit longer than the other men, also in suits, that passed my alley everyday without a glance in my direction.

In both canon and fandon, Kuryakin does seem to have more of an affinity with cats than dogs. This time, however, our stubborn Russian may have met his match.
