Chapter 1145
Vermont staggered and was directly tackled to the ground by a huge and furry thing. A wet tongue licked his head, and Vermont got goosebumps on his back. He was about to fight back when Felicity yelled, “Don’t hit it! Don’t hit it!”
Felicity rushed over and pulled the thing away. When Vermont backed up, he realized what it was. It was a three- feet tall Caucasian Shepherd Dog that seemed taller than Felicity when it stood up. Its coat was gray with white stripes, and its hair was fluffy and shiny. Its limbs were big and strong. The dog could not stop turning in circles after Felicity pulled it back. With Felicity’s small figure, she could hardly hold him down. “Richie! Richie! Calm down!” she muttered.
Vermont used to think that he was not afraid of dogs, but now he realized that it depended on their size. The biggest dog he had ever seen before was a golden retriever. A Caucasian Shepherd, however, was bigger and a lot stronger. Nine out of ten people would be scared if they saw it.
The dog was lively. It was so excited to see a stranger that it pounced on the man. Vermont felt nervous. He was unsure of how well Felicity would be able to hold it back, so he said, “Why don’t I go out first, while you put him on a leash. I’ll come back in after that.”
“There’s no need for that. He’s very docile.” Felicity confidently said. As soon as she said that, Richie broke free from her grip and rushed toward Vermont once again.
Vermont had no time to fake his injury anymore and started to run. Thinking that he was playing around, Richie chased after him happily.
The yard was not small, but it still felt a little tight for a giant dog. There were many flowers and plants in the yard, so Richie was not usually allowed to run around. Now that it was chasing after Vermont, the dog felt free. It knocked over all the greenery in the yard despite Felicity yelling for it to stop.
Vermont’s muscles tensed up as he ran with all his strength. However, he could not take over his four-legged opponent. Seeing that Richie was getting closer, Vermont looked for somewhere to hide. That was when he saw a mahogany tree on the east side of the yard. Vermont rushed over immediately and climbed the tree.
The mahogany tree was not tall, nor was the stem of the tree thick. The poor tree was trampled when Vermont, who was more than six feet tall, stood on it.
Vermont was seven feet higher than the ground at that time. Since Richie could not climb the tree, the dog ran around in circles with its furry tail wagging in excitement. Vermont got more and more anxious, as he watched Richie crouch down on its front paws and was ready to pounce.
