Rugby Shows Tricia Who's Boss

A gift from a stranger, his name is Reefer; we know right away that he's a keeper. We re-name him Rugby so as not to confuse; his condition suggests that he's been abused. Anticipating a squabble, we bring in the cat; he sprawls and yawns, refused to combat. He never barks, he doesn't bite or growl; until the cat decides to eat from his bowl. Rugby walks behind her, emits one deep Woof; Tricia jumps straight up, leaves with no reproof. They co-exist peacefully, eat with never a tiff; they need no policing, if you catch my drift.
