Unbeknownst to W or Rabbit, the neighbor's screen door was open and their dog, Dirge, was sitting on the porch, unleashed. As Rabbit moved down the grassy stretch in front of WnC's apt, Dirge came charging out of no where, only Rabbit's fluffy tail on his mind. It took W a second to understand what was happening. Rabbit didn't hesitate one minute and took off like the speed of light toward WnC's porch. W reached out and grabbed Dirge by the scruff of his neck. Luckily he's a nice dog and stopped pursing Rabbit at this point. W's heart was beating out of her chest. It was a frightening moment.
Once inside, it took Rabbit a good amount of time to calm down. He even hesitated in eating his dinner! (If you can believe it?!) He was completely frightened of Isabelle, even thought WnC assured him she wasn't a dog out to get him.
The next day, we heard a knock at the door. C opened it to reveal our neighbor and Dirge, on a leash, with a conciliatory gift for Mr. Rabbit.
He gladly accepted it and all was well once again.
