In the heart of a quiet suburban neighborhood, a sunny afternoon unfolded in the backyard of an Indian family. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass. Doreen, a spirited 6-year-old with bright eyes, stood beside her partner in mischief, Wei, a lively 9-year-old boy. Both wore expressions of playful defiance as they stood before the black dog's kennel.

With small stones in hand, Doreen and Wei giggled mischievously. The fierce black dog inside the kennel growled, its eyes watching the stones land just outside its reach. "Bet you can't throw it closer!" Wei challenged, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Doreen accepted the challenge, her laughter ringing out as she tossed another stone. The dog's barks grew louder, echoing through the yard. It was a sound both thrilling and a tad frightening, adding a layer of tension to their playful antics. "I think he's getting mad!" she exclaimed, trying to stifle her giggles.
