Crying Wolf

We were sitting in Doggy Heaven and looking at Mom and Dad’s new property when we spotted a coyote nearby! Mom and Dad were still asleep as it was early morning. We all barked loudly: “wolf, wolf, warning wolf!

Mom woke up and asked Dad “Did you say wolf?”  Dad said no, he had not said anything about a wolf. But Mom insisted that she heard him clearly say wolf, but he denied it.

Dad then got up and went on a morning walk. After a while, he saw the coyote at a distance and manage to get a photograph with his phone which he later showed Mom.

“I clearly heard someone say wolf,” she said. “What a coincidence.”

Coincidence? Hardly. It is frustrating for us dogs in Heaven when the people do not understand that we are communicating with them.
