He heard a low, faint growl and looked toward the end of the couch to see that little blond-and-white dog baring his teeth. The little bastard was wearing a tutu. You bite me again, we're going to have cocker spaniel soup, he said by way of warning. Harry pranced away. By the way, you look ridiculous, Sean called after him. Who are you talking to? Franci asked as she came into the room. Harry. He hates me. Animals usually like me-what's his problem? Maybe he just doesn't trust you, she offered.
In this scene from Robyn Carr's "Angel's Peak," the protagonist, Sean, encounters a small dog wearing a tutu that is growling at him. Despite the dog’s intimidating demeanor, Sean humorously threatens the pup with cocker spaniel soup if it bites him again. The interaction highlights the playful yet tense relationship between Sean and the dog, named Harry, who seems to take pleasure in being a nuisance.
Franci enters and asks Sean about his conversation with the dog, prompting him to share that Harry dislikes him. Despite Sean's usual charm with animals, Franci suggests that Harry simply doesn't trust him. This exchange underscores the light-hearted tone of the narrative while subtly conveying themes of trust and connection between humans and pets.
