The new white stray was out in the yard with the other dogs. He jumped against the fence when Billy opened the gate.

“Hey, there.” The stray licked Billy’s hand. “How you doing, doggie?”

The stray waited while Billy splashed water into the bowls. Then he trotted along with Billy.

“Are you dogging me, dog?” Billy laughed. He made it across the field without spilling any water.

The other dogs gathered around Billy. They whined and begged for treats. The white stray sat quietly. He kept his eyes on Billy.

“Here, fella.” Billy tossed him a biscuit. Only then did he stop watching Billy and begin to chew.

When Billy moved away, the white stray followed him again. Billy leaned against a tree and watched the other dogs settle down for their morning snooze. The stray leaned against Billy’s leg.

Billy looked down at him. He was such a great dog. “Listen,” he whispered. “I know someone must own you. But I really want to take you home.”

The stray barked. He put a paw on Billy’s leg. “Shush,” said Billy. “Not so loud. I don’t want the other dogs to know.”

The stray whimpered. He barked again softly.
