peak at the animal’s sharp teeth, and it wou take him half of a second to rip out Richard's throat.
“Con, guys,” Richard yelled to Kelly, Ava, Aiden, and me. “Stop hiding. This sweet dog isn’t going to hurt
anyone.” He turned to Ava and me, gesturing for us to get down from the tree.
“Don’t turn your back on the beast!” Ava warned, her voice full of anxiety. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her
legs were shaking, making the branch that we were standing on unsteady. ““It’s just pretending to be tame, then
it’s going to attack you!”
“No he won't.” Richard's voice was full of confidence. “He’s my friend now.” He looked at Kelly and Aiden, who

Alexander's eyes narrowed as he walked to Richard, taking in the odd scene in front of him.
“What's going on?” he demanded as he stood in front of Richard. “Why is Olivia in a tree?”
Quickly, Richard explained the events of the past five minutes. How the dog had scared the three of us, and we
all screamed in terror and sprinted to the first hiding spot we could find.
