Jack, a shaggy mutt with kind brown eyes, was sitting on the porch with his ears flattened to his head. The sun was setting, turning the sky crimson, but Jack was not in the mood for beauty. His heart, devoted and faithful, grew heavier with every minute of waiting. Every evening, at exactly this time, Jack met his friend, a boy named Thomas. They played ball, ran around the lawn, and Thomas always shared his lunch with Jack. Jack loved Thomas more than anything in the world. But Thomas hadn't come for several days. Jack looked longingly at the empty track, waiting for it to be shown. He ran around the yard, barking, but nothing changed.
