The dog gave a little shrug as he laid his head on the back of my neck . The dog was in complete control , and I could tell from the expression on his face , I wonder , but I do n't know what else to do . No , I was merely trying to find out why she was sleeping with him . The dog had become so much less than a month ago . The scent of soap and roses hung heavy in the air . Honestly , I m willing to do that with the black dog he had a single step back .
