A Rocky Road

Rocky’s ears perked up in anticipation. Something moved in front of him. Was it a hand? A toy? Another dog? It didn’t matter. It was about to be in his mouth.

He bit down. Zoe shrieked as her sweater was shredded.

He regretted what he’d done immediately. Zoe tried to cover herself.

Frantic, Zoe scanned all that was surrounding her, but to no avail. She had never been peed on before! He knew he only had one option. With his face directed as low as possible, he looked Zoe square in the eye. Zoe's body sank with her heart, as she knelt down to his level.

Now soaking wet, Zoe picked up the pup and continued on her journey. “It’s you and me now” she whispered. Rocky gave a low whimper in return as they entered the forest.

Rocky just hoped that Zoe knew where she was going. It didn’t look like there was a clear path through the woods, but she seemed confident.
