Piggy

A runty little hyena, couldn't be more than seven. A very...small seven. Scrawny and short with tiny little hands and big big ears. And that little hyena is digging through a trashcan without shame. He's found his way into a more well off area during the work day, when most are away from home. A perfect time to look. And he finds a few odds and ends as he goes. He eats some discarded bones from food trash, takes a ripped shirt that he knows he can cut down into one for himself. Bits and bobs but nothing special.

Then he finds it.

Finds him.

Mr. Piggy.

A warthog piggybank that is hardly in poor condition at all. Just a little scuffed, nothing serious.

When the kid accidentally sets off the voice of it, causing it to sing a popular song, he laughs in delight. It's wonderful. And fun. And cute. And useful!! Its for holding MONEY! What could be more useful than THAT??? Its like a perfect best friend of an item!

When the pawn shop refuses to take it...for once he isn't disappointed by that. He's a little thrilled. This will be with him forever. A money friend that's always happy about the little hyena's hard work being rewarded.
