Julio laughed. “Man, first he’s a lump and now he’s a rocket.”

Ledward put a hand on my shoulder. “I think he likes you.”

After about five million trips around the cage, the dog came back and leaned against the fence again. He panted, his wet tongue jiggling.

Ledward stood and read the ID card on the cage. “Ooops. This dog is female. Her name is Ruby. Border collie mix. A year old.”

“She sure is fast,” I said.

“Does it say why she’s in here?” Julio asked.

Ledward checked the card again. “Stray, is all it says. Probably ran off or got lost. Who knows?”

Willy shook his head. “Nice dog, spooky eyes.”

Ledward crossed his arms. “One thing for sure. She’s a herding dog, and herding dogs need lots of exercise.”

“If she was mine,” I said, “I’d take her everywhere I went. She could sleep in my room, too. Stella wouldn’t be allergic if she was out there, right? Can I get her, Ledward?”

“Whoa, slow down, boy. You want to get me in trouble with your mama?”

Ledward grinned and leaned close. “But if it was up to me … I take um out right now. Boom!”

I stood.

“But.” Ledward raised a finger. “It’s not up to me.”

The spooky-eyed dog looked up at me.

Zero, I thought. That was what my chances were.
