There is some small dog cowering- under a porch. She looks scared and morose. Even when her owner makes attempts to help her, she is still hiding. The bad thing that has happened to her takes place in the past. She is almost run over by some car. Since then, she is in no way safe in the world around her. She fears a lot and all her behaviors are governed by her fear. This change is observed by another animal. The cats are listening and watching one of the cats.

The cat is aware that the dog has something grave up his mind. The dog is not even being timid. The fear is due to a hurting memory. The cat questions whether anybody has experience of such events. This indicates that the cat is considerate and conscious. The cat is aware that fear such as this is not one that is resolved easily. Then here comes a big dog. This dog seems to be laid back and confident. He comes to her softly. He is not going to want to scare her even more.
The conversation starts with the dog with only one syllable. He demonstrates that he realizes how she feels. He realizes that, when there is something that scares, the world might scare. The frightened dog assents. She is of the opinion that everything in her surroundings might hurt her. The dog they are scared of informs her. She wishes to spend most of her time inside the house. Until she has to go out, she will hide herself under the porch. This would be safe to her. It appears that it is the most fitting method to avoid the hazard. But the mighty dog perceives an issue with this scheme.
There are a lot of things which make a dog happy in life outside. It is important to run, play, and explore. It is the strong dog which so kindly encloses her mind. He says that by burying herself she may be missing all those things that she once adored. And this is one risk, too. It is not a threat that is physical, but it is an emotional threat. By living in fear, she can be denied a chance to enjoy her life. He helps her to understand that the two decisions have certain dangers. It is possible to risk going outside but there is a cost of remaining hidden.
As the conversation goes on, the message becomes more apparent. The mighty canine is not coercing her to change. He is assisting her to comprehend her predicament. He demonstrates to her that fear is an inherent thing but it should not be used as the main factor in her entire life. Healing takes time. It is also making a radical move to rejoin the world, even in the tiniest of strolls. Eventually, the frightened dog starts to reason. She appears not to be certain but she listens. The final choice depicted in the story does not show a final decision but it draws the line of choice.
