he refused to go outside because of a stare

Yesterday, a dog passing by gave Kevin a quick, sideways glance. Just a look. Nothing more. But today? Kevin refused to step outside. I opened the door and called his name softly. He sat by the threshold, ears down, eyes flickering nervously. The usual excited tail wag was gone. It’s hard not to smile when your tough little Frenchie suddenly turns into a shy kid afraid of a look. I crouched beside him and whispered, “It’s okay, buddy. No one’s gonna stare today.” He blinked once, slow and steady, but didn’t move. Eventually, I had to carry him out—protests and all. And you know what? The moment he was outside, he forgot all about that stare. He started chasing a leaf like nothing had happened. That fragile little heart of his? I wouldn’t change a thing. #Pets #Dogs #SensitivePup
