The master also knew the sound and didn't love it. People inside a delicious house probably recognize the rumble of a dumpster falling down. And it's very possible that they won't like it. Then they will run out of the house and drive away from the food. This is bad.
The dog moved his ear to drive away from the annoying mosquito and kept thinking.
Let's say we can get the tank down, and then grab a quick grab and run away from it. People will not catch up. They generally run slowly, on two legs.
- It's time.
The dog approached the trash can. It wasn't that easy to get away with it. Move your shoulder? If it was a fight with a smaller dog, the Labrador would have done so. How heavy was that thing? And black thought again.
You couldn't see the lid very well, because standing on his four feet, Rex was looking up. He decided to take a good look and got up on the back. Yeah, so...
And then my glorious dog was inspired and enlightened. If Rex were human, he'd write poems or prove the theorem. But as a dog, he just saw how to raise the lid without tilting the tank. A guessing Labrador leaned his left foot on the tank, and the other tried to raise the lid.
The plan almost worked out. Almost because the lid had really risen, but Rexic couldn't open it completely: he wasn't t tall enough. He turned to his head to a tensely waiting girlfriend:
- Come here! I've got her, jump inside and get the good stuff.
As a good cat, Masha, of course, jumped beautifully. Try to catch the mouse yourself! I assure you, the prey will go away if you can't jump properly. The cat jumped, cleverly clung to the front legs over the edge of the tank, pulled up the back, stayed a little on the edge and dived in. After a few seconds, her head appeared again between the lid and the edge of the tank. Masha had a loaf of bread in her teeth. Of course, Rex immediately smelled the smell of mold. People don't like this scent very much, though, in dog's opinion, mold itself doesn't spoil the food. That's why the dog rejoiced and exhaled (the lid was still heavy):
- And not yet?
The cat let the bread out. The loafer slipped on the pavement and the treasure seeker fled to the tank again. A black friend was right. There was also a second loafer.
Masha came out of the trash can. I had to lick my lick, but first I had to find a safe place.
Rexick let go of the lid. She buckled loudly. But our wanderers didn't care anymore. Everyone was holding a loaf of bread in their teeth. That was a heavy burden for the cat, so Rex bravely bit off the bread from the car.
Masha herself wasn't happy with the loot. She knew that she could eat bread, but enjoy it? Fi!
But anyway, it was a lot better than no other food. And the animals were slowly hanging out along the street - in the direction that the cat was pointing out, of course.
They were met by two people: a man and a woman. He smelled like tobacco. None of our animals liked that smell. True, the owners did not smoke, but to Vasily Vasilyevich, and I sometimes came to smoke guests, and the dog, in addition, got acquainted with the smell of walking. The woman smelled of perfume, and Rexick almost sneezed at that stench, but he stayed away. And he did the right thing. Never try sneezing with a loaf in your teeth!
- Look at the cat dragging the bread! Do cats really eat it?
The lighting was dim, so don't be surprised that the woman thought Masha was a cat.
- I didn't see it myself, and our lieutenant boasted that his cat was eating bread. It was rare, he said.
- This cat was clearly homeless, and he wasn't gonna be left with any trace of it. So he stole the loaf.
- It was still rare.
It was said in a praising tone. Mashenka was even a little proud.
Chapter Ten, in which Rex almost waged war, and Masha prevents it
You had to go ahead, both of you understood that. But the front smelled very strange: a great number of smells at once, pleasant and vice versa. Even Rex, with all the power of his sense of smell, lost to such abundance. Nothing surprising: there was a dump on the way.
I must say: in landfills, you can always find so much useful and even valuable (including delicious), that it is sure to have its permanent residents. And they are not eager to meet strangers in their homeland. That's why the dump is always a dangerous place. Our inexperienced animals not only did not know it, but could not know. Generally speaking, they didn't need anything special in the landfill. Well, what do you get to eat, yes, but eat there? The cat just didn't have time, though she didn't know that word. And Rex wasn't behind his girlfriend. That's why a couple of them would go ahead, without being distracted by running aside in search of food.
Rex smelled the landfill owners long before he saw them. He didn't like the smell. It smelled like dogs, and not one, but several. This could well mean a fight, and the dog, as already mentioned, did not have any addiction to it. And he tried to bypass a group of strangers.
Alas, if he could smell strangers himself, they could smell him too. And yet the meeting took place.
