The boy was very friendly with the dog, he was the son of a police officer and fed him every day. Once, the dog warned him of a kind of insecurity.
The boy’s name was Brian, he was 12 years old but seemed smaller for his age. And his father was not the same at all, on the contrary, he was very tall, strong and differed from everyone by his physique.
He didn’t understand why his son was so shy and completely different from him. All the time, he tried to increase his son’s self-confidence, did everything to make him begin to love himself and not be shy.
Despite all this, the boy was very intelligent, he was even offered a scholarship in one of the prestigious schools in the city. He was even afraid to get on the bus to go to school and was not sure of himself.
Fortunately, the school was closer to where his father worked, so he came to pick him up every day. His work did not end until 5 p.m., when the boy’s lessons had been over for a long time.
In winter, he waited for his father at the library and did his homework all this time, and when it was hot outside, he sat down and waited on the steps near the school.
One afternoon when the father went to school to bring his son home, he saw that he was not there. Suddenly, he saw that his son was standing at the doors of the school and caressing the dog.
The dog jumped on his hind legs and played with it. He was well cared for. Day after day, the father noticed that the food was disappearing from his refrigerator or closet and immediately guessed why.
He learned that his son fed the dog and other stray dogs on the street every day.
It was very difficult for the son to communicate with people, but the father saw how quickly he finds language with dogs. He thought they could be dangerous for him, but his son didn’t listen.
Once his parents have explained to him that it is very dangerous to be friends with all the stray dogs on the street, they can hurt him. He may be afraid of them, they can even bite him and it will hurt him.
But the boy didn’t want to listen to them, he said they were all good and that he trusted them. He explained that they would not hurt him because they were very intelligent.
It was very difficult for the father to admit that what he really wanted was for their son to treat them in the same way as he treats dogs. He was just jealous of the kind of communication they had.
He just wanted him to be more open to them, he wanted him to tell them more about his life and classes, for example. He was ashamed of it.
