Very nice! Concise, flowed well, strong imagery the reader can do something with: fill in the blank for feral companion. Made me think of Quasimodo.
So many meanings for "it." Loved the alliteration, the g's, s's, and t's. "sharp bones and sharper need" was my favorite line. "I just didn't know," how often that's true.
