The German Shepherd in her yard barked a warning. “Man walking boldly down the street!”
The Doodle in the next yard barked, “That’s the Amazon guy. He’s coming here with my treats.”
The small yappy dog in the yard one over barked, “He’s coming here with MY treats. He doesn’t like you.”
The Chow in the yard across the alley barked, “You’re all idiots. That guy is a criminal and needs to be taken down. He doesn’t have treats.”
The Labrador in the next yard over barked, “That’s my friend. He gives me treats every day.”
The Doberman in the yard one street up barked, “The Chow is right. Let’s take him down!”
The man continued to walk by, wearing ear buds, not hearing any of their barks. Having run out of yards with dogs full of opinions, he reached his bus stop just in time for the bus to pull in and scoop him up.
The chorus of barking dogs all shook it off and went back to their sniffing to await the next unsuspecting target.
The End
