He waited.

But the one he waited for did not come. So he waited some more.

As it got dark, the woman who always gave him food called him inside. But he was waiting. So he refused to go inside.

But the woman did not relent. When he did not come, she took him inside, forcefully.

He whined, and she spoke to him. He did not understand the noise she made, but he could feel that she was sad as well.

He was allowed to sleep in the same bed as the woman. He was happy until he remembered that he did not come home.

The next morning, he woke up.

He saw that he was in the room where the woman normally slept.

But then he remembered that he did not come home. He was sad again instantly and began to whine again.

The woman woke up after this, and, after some angry noises, caressed him and spoke to him.

He stood up after a while and went to the door of his room.

He hit it with his paw and the woman came after him, spoke something in her sad voice and opened the door for him. He jumped through the room, to the bed of the one he is still waiting for, but he was not there.

He began to whine again and lied down on the bed, sad and angry.

How dare he to not come home? That should not be allowed.

His friend had been gone before for so long, but he had been at least in that strange and interesting place.

But now he was home, and he, who he had waited for, his friend, had gone to that strange place where he was not allowed to.

Where every one of the smaller members of his family went to, and often seemed to not like going to.

After he ate and drank, he only now realised how hungry and thirsty he had been, he lied down in the same place, where he had waited for his friend yesterday.

But he still had not come.

After he lied there for a while, before the others came home, the woman brought water and food outside and lied it down before him. When the others of his family, his pack, besides that older one, of course, came home, his dearest pack member still was not home.

Now he began worrying if he did not want him anymore. He began to whine again. The smallest member of his pack came to him and caressed him as he spoke softly, but with sadness to him. He could not understand anything, but he could appreciate it.

When the evening came, he, who he waited for, still was not there.

The next day, the same happened.

But, soon after the sun was at its highest point, some strange men came to his place. He did his duty as protector of the pack, but they were not deterred to invade his territory.

The woman came to him and greeted them. So they were friends. He waged his tail and jumped around them. One of the two stroked him on the head.

After a short while, he went back to the place where he had waited and still waits.
