The man sighed, clearly frustrated but unwilling to continue the argument. “Fine. Can see why dogs must hate you,” he muttered, leaning back in his seat. He said out loud, “Well, don’t take out your fear on him, that’ll just make him react.” He gestured toward Liam and Atlas.
Liam forced himself to stay calm, though the situation was starting to wear him down. He could feel Atlas becoming more aware of the tension in the cabin. The dog’s ears perked up slightly, but he stayed in position, understanding the need for calm. Perhaps the only sane one in the situation was the dog in question.
