The dog, which lives in the house where its owner leaves early and comes home late, waits for me at the end of the lane where the secondary road begins to take her for a walk. For weeks she had watched me going for my daily stroll wanted to come along but didn’t have the courage, till one day I sensed her behind me and stopped, unsure she made herself smaller than she is until I called her and she came running wagging her tail ecstatically. Mind, not that I see her that often busy as she chasing something I don’t see under bushes and rocks, but from time to time she comes back to the road to see if I’m still there. Usually we parted at the lane only now she has taken to follow me home where I feed her and she sleeps on the sofa till it gets dark and it’s time to go home. But we have to be careful now those elderly men with guns in arms and bellies full of wine stalk the landscape, at a distance she looks like a fox and those people, who kill for sport, tend to shoot at anything that moves in the greenery.
