By S.O. Baran
The smell of frying bacon wakes him. He trembles where he stands inside his fortress: a kitchen table enclosed by chairs.
The smoke is thick. Unacceptable. The sizzle precedes his life’s greatest enemy.
The dreaded Beep Beep Beep!
In a feat of monumental bravery, he leaves the fortress, finds a human, and leeeeeeeans his weight against their legs. He hurries to the door. Stares at the doorknob, stares at the human. Doorknob. Human. Doorknob. Human.
The human sighs, clips the leash on his collar, and saves him from the Beep Beep Beep! by taking him out for a Sunday morning walk.
Nice! Very visual.
Clever dog. Love it.
