He searches endlessly until he realizes that he is lost, and nobody is there to help him find his way back. While miserable and alone, Tank misses his family and his comfortable life. He wishes to be home so badly. A younger dog tries to scare him off, but Tank knows better than to fight. He is starting to lose all hope when, again, he sees the black tail that caused his entire problem. Does this tail belong to a friend or foe? www.tankanuglydog.com |
