But a dog couldn’t be chained to a tree, not for twenty-two hours out of every day. She’d seen him grow increasingly agitated and unhappy, to the point that she couldn’t play with him without him hurting her.
Ouch.
So she’d untied him to take him for a walk. He’d slipped free and headed for the house. Her blood running cold, she’d chased after him.
Is almost losing Rollo going to be her trigger event?
When she caught up to him, she found him in the pool; she couldn’t swim, and he couldn’t climb out.
At least he can’t at his current size.
If this is in fact her trigger event, then I think that might support the idea that the Dandelions are trying to help but don’t really understand humanity. Giving Hana weapons to fight back, giving Brian a way to hide from his mother’s boyfriend after the fight, giving Taylor company and awareness of something outside her confined space, etcetera.
Maybe it makes complete sense to them to give a girl who is afraid of her puppy drowning the power to turn her puppy into a huge dog monster that can easily get out of the water.
She’d pleaded with Rollo to come out of the pool, tried to run around the pool’s edge to get to him so she could pull him free, but he’d been scared, and swam away from her.
Aww.
