I didn't see the woman yet, but I could hear her sniffles and moans.
The crunch of her footsteps on gravel was getting louder.
Nugget turned to come to me, excited to see me return home from work.
"'Yeah, good girl, come on!'
I glanced behind Nugget.
The woman's foot appeared at the edge of my back fence."
Nugget paused, noticing the weeping woman, then turned and barked again, the fur on her back standing on end.
No, Nugget, leave her alone, I pleaded, my voice cracking.
Just come inside.
The weeping woman ran her fingers along my fence, searching for the gate latch.
My gate was not locked.
"'Treat!'
I shouted.
"'Nugget, do you want a treat?'
Her ears perked up again, and she turned back to look at me.
"'Come get a treat, Nugget!'
I shouted, even louder.
"'Treat!
Come on, time for treats!'
Finally, she turned around.
