Week 7 - Intuition I: Evocative object

Junk yard dog was a world class wrestler, but having been alone since his creation, all he's ever wanted was a hug. He's trapped by his appearance and marred by a violent past. He searches for someone who can look past the clenched fist and wrestling pants but all are too afraid to approach him. He is far past his prime as a wrestler but if you look into his eyes you can see all the sadness he carries. His arms are open in waiting, his face soft and concerned instead of angry and threatening. He just wants a hug.

"I wasn't meant for a life of violence," he thinks to himself. "I should have been a pound puppy."

People think his fist is clenched as a threat but really he rescued an ant from the evil intentions of a young boy's magnifying glass. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, but he already gave it to the homeless Ken doll he saw by the dumpster last week.

He gets beat up day after day, week after week, and all he wants is a hug.

I kinda want to see this done Toy Story style. It could be about the struggles of a stereotyped and prejudged toy that reflects the bias and judgements of the every day world.
