It is good to be friendly to dogs.
Rick routinely sees a stray dog wandering through his neighborhood at night.
Rick wants to do something about the stray.
Rick lures the stray in with food and decides to adopt it after gaining its trust.
Rick throws rocks at the stray one night as it walks through his yard, yelling at it and chasing it away.
The dog loves its new home and is a steadfast companion to Rick from that day on.
The dog is injured and later is picked up by animal control services and euthanized.
