Dingo rose to his paws. Slowly. Deliberately. He had been peacefully sleeping by the leather couch, curled up snugly at our feet. His ruff was bristling like a black porcupine and his hackles were raised. He began stalking toward the corner of the family room, like a cat hunting a robin. Growling deep in his throat.
