	Annie smiled, and the grey schnauzer she was talking was a pretty chill dog. Doug was always content to be pet. He kind of stood there while the kid pet him, and Annie took a step closer. She recognized the kid, he'd been over to their house a few times to be babysat. Unfortunately, she couldn't quite think of his name, but on the other hand she doubted he did either. Right now, the cute dog was the focus of this interaction. And why wouldn't he? Doug was, after all, the world's best boy.

	[color=f7976a]"He doesn't bite. That's why he's a terrible guard dog."[/color] She remarked casually, allowing the kid to pet him for a little bit. Hopefully she wouldn't have to tell him to stop petting him so they could continue on their walk. That might be a little awkward. Annie wondered where the kid's parents were, and glanced around for them. She supposed it wouldn't be a big deal if he was allowed to wander around by himself, right? That's how they used to do it. Just let kids wander around. Clearly, most of them were not kidnapped. Still, today most parents are too worried to allow that kind of thing to happen, so Annie took a moment to see if any adults were watching to make sure their son wasn't going to fall down a hole, get hit by a car, or kidnapped by a killer clown.
