As they approached, Scotty asked, “Is that a dog or a horse?”
“I’m not sure,” I said, shaking. “I’d be running, but I’m too terrified.”
This dog-horse was different. He wasn’t angry or barking. Given my life experience with dogs, I would have probably dropped dead on the spot if he was. He was on a leash, and he looked… friendly. He was pretty, too. Lean, muscular, and alert. I might even like to pet him if I could trust him not to eat me.
Scotty spoke loudly, “Uhh… Hi Brian. That’s the biggest dog I’ve ever seen. Please tell me he’s friendly.”
Brian said, “Bonkers is my big brother Doug’s dog. He’s friendly. Doug, this is Jimmy and Scotty.”
Doug asked, “You kids aren’t afraid of dogs, are you? Bonkers won’t bite you.”
I said, “I got badly bitten once, and I’m scared of them. “
Scotty asked, “Why do you call him Bonkers.”
Doug said, “I’ll let him show you.”
