Judy took her dog to the park to run and play, burn off some energy so that he might sleep the whole night through. ‘Ralph,’ was named after a cartoon television sheep herding dog that he didn’t resemble in the least.
At the park, he raced back and forth and wrestled and rolled with the other dogs, all there for the same reason. After an hour or so, Ralph found himself alone, and in order to while-away his time, he found other things to do.
“Come, Ralph!” Judy called.
He was slow to respond as he sat on the ground and chewed with an unending intensity on the item he had found. Again she called him, this time sounding more demanding, “COME, RALPH!”
This time, Ralph turned his head slowly towards her voice, and with bright and unblinking eyes, looked straight at her. Judy literally shit herself before she could even think to holler, “Drop it!”
