Jon heard the sound of a door closing and ran toward the door to the house. Hello? He called, coming out as a series of barks.
His mother came out. He was thrilled to see her. Being locked up in the backyard with no company, even if he did run around a lot.
He practically pounced her as she opened the door. "What is it, boy? Everyone else is still out. Do you want to come inside and keep me company?"
Yes.. Jon said, following her in eagerly.
