Love chases away the storm

Annette Dutenhoffer

It was a dark and stormy night. At least, that’s what my dog Raven thought!

It was nighttime. Raven was curled up on the floor, sleeping. I was watching the weather report on TV. The report showed a storm that had happened very far away from where we live. The thunder crashed and the rain poured. Raven thought the storm was at our house! She was very afraid and walked quickly into the bathroom. She sat on the floor in front of the bathtub and shook with fear.

I told her she was OK because there really wasn’t a storm outside. But she didn’t believe me. She wouldn’t budge. Raven was afraid of a storm that wasn’t even real!
