It Is All Over Now

Another dog has been dumped on us.
He looks like a pit bull to me.
I am terrified.
Joe says he is a boxer.

Our dog Buddy loves him.
He is playing with him now, leaping and wrestling.
Animal control has asked us to corral him.
I cannot do it, I fear him.

I ask Joe to do it.
“Corral Brownie?” He says.
It is all over now.
New dog has a name.

I'm thinking this is the one that you found his owner? But, you are always in adoption neighborhood when you give a stray animal a name!

Joe and I are now betting that animal control is leaving the big dogs here now.
