Let's just keep the door open.
Okay.
I don't think we're a good boy.
You're a good boy.
Okay.
You see, sir, now he's free.
You know, with the dog helping, he wants to live in the house.
The house?
In the dog's house, in here.
That's right.
He doesn't mind.
And so I got to looking all around, crazy.
I don't find the dog.
And so we thought, we had to cut outside.
Inside, probably open the gates, and he can't come.
And he wasn't sleeping, son.
Yeah.
Leave the door open.
Good boy, kid.
Good boy.
