"I-It's OK boy." Eric said nervously as he returned to the yapping dog. "She'll be back soon.....I don't know where she went, but she'll be back." He said convincing himself of that.<br/><br/>The dog simply kept scratching. He really wanted outside...or something that was outside. He took a deep breath as he looked down at the dog. He grabbed the leash off of the coat rack next to the door and hooked in on Scrap's collar. He did want to know what the dog was so anxious about, but feared he would simply run off as soon as the door was opened.
