You decide to trust this kid.
"Sure, I'll go with you!" you tell the giant wolf.
"Great!" the kid beams down at you. "My name's Billy, what's yours?"
"My name's Keane!"
"Nice to meet you Keane! Don't worry, you'll be safe with me!"
You feel a splash of water on your head. You look up and see that the sky has turned gray. Large, fat raindrops were starting to fall. Billy looked up too, and sighed.
"It's raining..." he said sadly. "That means we'll have to leave. I better stay dry."
Billy set you on the ground and walked away from you, the ground shaking with his every step. You turn and see a very large plastic bag a few feet from you. Billy starts rummaging through the bag and pulls out a yellow slicker and yellow rubber boots. He pulls on the boots over his feet and puts on the raincoat. He buttons up the slicker then reaches for you. He raises you to his smiling face.
"You'll have to stay in my pocket until we get home, okay?"
You nod. Billy opens the pocket in his raincoat and drops you in. You lay down and hold on as Billy bends to pick up the bag, then begins walking back to his family.
You pull yourself to the opening of the pocket and look out. You can see Billy's family getting ready to leave. They pack up their food and other things and stuff them in the bag, then begin walking away. As you watch, the park suddenly opens up onto a road. Large houses line the road, and there are sidewalks, just like a human road. You lay down again and wait out the trip. Occasionally Billy slipped his paw into the pocket and petted you a bit. You patted his paw to let him know you're alright. For a giant wolf, Billy was a good kid.
After a while, Billy's paw emerges in the pocket and takes you out. You look around and are amazed to see your surroundings. It looks like a child's room, complete with toys, bed, drawers, closet and everything else. Billy places you on his bed and hangs up his raincoat. He lays on the bed in back of you, causing you to fall over. Billy giggles and puts you on your feet again.
"Are you hungry? I brought some food." Billy takes out a small plastic container full of food from the picnic. He takes some out and places it before you. You look at it with disgust. Large pieces of meat burnt at the edges, red and dripping with grease. You can see some blood as well. It looks a lot like a human arm, and it smells horrible.
"No thanks, I'll pass on that stuff."
"Okay, I brought more." Billy takes some more food from the container. Mac and cheese! Your favorite. You pick up a noodle and chomp off a piece, enjoying the savory taste of cheddar cheese.
"Glad you like it!" Billy says, smiling. You nod and smile at him. Billy pets you a bit and rests his head on the bed, watching you eat. You feel his breath on your back (thankfully it doesn't smell anymore) and you feel comfortable. You sit and eat your mac and cheese.
"Billy! Time for bed!" Billy's mother shouts from downstairs. To you her voice is like a lion's roar.
"Okay mom!" Billy shouts back. "I'll be back in a minute, Keane!" Billy hops off the bed, causing you to lose your balance again, and runs out of the room. You keep on eating your mac and cheese, feeling a bit safer in this giant world.
After a few minutes, the door to the bedroom opens. It's...
