“Easy, boy I won’t hurt you,” I entlest voice

“You want a sandwich? I’ll share”

I backed up slowly so he wouldn’t run off—I couldn’t leave him out here, and I didn’t want to chase after him—and pulled out my wrapped ham sandwich from the center console

Taking out half, I tossed it toward him He jumped back, then sniffed

I went to the back door of the cruiser and opened it up, tossing the other half on the plastic seat He wasn’t a prisoner, but he needed a bath before he sat up front
