The Collie Dog

The the border collie ran towards the red barn, large piece of chicken hanging from his mouth. Even though it was raining, the moon was bright and the black and white collie could see some of the lanterns lit in the windows. The grass squelched under his feet and the red bandana around his neck was dripping with water. Dark mud splattered his feet and chest, but he ran forward, the dim glow coming from the barn, almost seeming to warm him. He leapt through the doors, startling several white chickens. He reached some hay and scraped it away from a large cardboard box. The collie dropped the chicken at the mouth of the box and poked his head inside. A brown, white, and black collie lay on the bottom of the box, surrounded by several multicolored puppies. The black and white collie almost seemed to smile.
