Erin and Carlos
Happily, Carlos just let the dog give him some affection in return. It was hard to believe that less than a year ago he'd been brainwashed by his mother into believing that dogs were rabid pack animals that would attack him without provocation. That was the worst lie she'd ever told him. Dogs were great.
"Hey, Booker," he said with a laugh, then was smiling up at the dog's owner again. "I've got a dog back at home. Dude."
