Suddenly, loud grrrr – grrrr – grrrr woke Billy up. The boy turned off his alarm clock and sat in silence. There was no barking but he could hear his parents‘ happy voices in the kitchen. After some time, Billy heard that his parents went out. It took some time for them. Well, the boy didn‘t feel good after his last nightmare... It scared him a little bit. He even started thinking that maybe he doesn‘t want to have a dog and take all responsibilities for it.

Finally, Billy‘s parents came back and the boy heard a dog barking down the stairs. At first, he thought it wasn't real, but then he felt soft fur. All of a sudden, the dog barked again and licked Billy‘s nose sweetly. So, all boy‘s worries were gone.
