He rested his paws on tog of the fence and looked around him.
The Roog came running into the yard.

It was early morning and the sun had not really come up yet. The air was cold and grey, and the walls of the house were damp with moisture.
The dog opened his jaws a little as he watched, his big black paws clutching the wood of the fence.
The Roog stood in the open gate, looking into the yard.

He was a small Roog, thin and white, on wobbly legs. The Roog blinked at the dog, and the dog showed his teeth.
"Roog!" he said again. The sound echoed into the silent half of darkness.
Nothing moved nor stirred. The dog dropped down and walked and walked back across the yard to the porch steps.

He sat down on the bottom step and watched the Roog. The Roog glanced at him.
Then he stretched his neck up to the window of the house, just above him. He sniffed at the window.
The dog came flashing across the yard. He hit the fence, and the gate shuddered and groaned.

The Roog was walking quickly up the path, hurry-ing with funny little steps, mincing along.
The dog lay down against the slats of the gate, breathing heavily, his red tongue hanging.
He watched the Roog disappear.
