Crazy crying woman
Ruth starts looking everywhere but the panic kicks in. The crowd is getting bigger and bigger now and Happy could be anywhere. Or maybe someone even took him. Ruth would never be able to forgive herself if something like that happened. With the thought of losing him, a little tear flows down her cheek. Ruth is done playing it cool now and hysterically starts shouting his name. “HAPPY!” she screams, as she scans the crowd looking for her dog.
When she sees all their heads suddenly looking her way, she realizes it must be a funny sight for the crowd. “They must think I’m crazy.” she thinks, “An old woman who is screaming ‘happy’ while crying.”. But at the same time, she doesn’t care at all and she is past all shame. All that matters is finding her dog and with that in mind, she screams his name even louder. She screams his name until her throat gets sore and all it produces is a shrill squeaking sound. But Ruth doesn’t give up and she continues to scream until suddenly she hears a soft bark.
