Gerald meets a stray German Shepherd on his daily walk and gives her some of his sausage. From that day on Gerald meets the dog nearly every day and gives her something to eat. One day Gerald goes on his daily walk later in the afternoon, because of some work. He packs some food for Brownie as he called the dog. On the walk Brownie accompanied Gerlad, who gave her the food and a few pets on her head. After some stick game and a few more pets Brownie began to leave, but not far away, never to far from Gerald.
On his way back Gerald was jump at by three drunk men, who dragged him into an alleyway. One took his bag, while the others held and punched him. Gerald let out a few pained screams before one of the men held his mouth close with his hand. He tried to free himself, but the man holding him was stronger. A few tears gadder at the edge of his eyes, while the second man hit him over and over again.
,,Aww is the little guy gonna cry, because of a few light punches?" the one, who took his bag mocked. Gerald closed his eyes and looked away as best as he could, with someone holding his moth. ,,Look at me when I'm talking to you!" the bag man yelled he harshly took Gerald chin made him look at him and then pushed him in the nose. Gerald gave a muffled scream from himself and his tears began to fall.
Suddenly they could hear an angry bark and growl. It was Brownie she heard her friends screams and ran as fast as she could to find him. The men just laughed at the dog, until he attacked the one, who was holding Gerald. The man let go of said boy, who scrambled away into a corner of the alleyway. The man kicked the dog away from themselves and left.
Gerald crawled over to Brownie making sure she wasn't hurt too bad. She had a few scratches but was fine for the most part. She licked over his face but immediately stopped, when Gerald when she touched his nose, looking worried at him. He slowly stood up and held his hurting stomach. On the way back to his uncle's house, Brownie didn't leaves Gerald side for even a second.
When they finally arrived, Josef opened the door. ,,Gerald? Are you okay?!" his uncle let him and helped him to the couch. Brownie followed behind and sat herself in front of the couch. ,,Who is your little friend?" ,,Brownie, remember the stray dog I told you about." ,,Oh yeah, I remember."
,,So, what happened to you and your nose?" asked worried. ,,Oh uhm… three guys jumped me and beat me up," Gerald answered making himself small. Brownie, who saw it started to lick his hand, to which Gerald started to pet her. ,,Oh Gott. Franz get the first aid kit and get your butt down here!" After a few moments Franz showed up in the living room with the kit. ,,What happened this time?" Franz said in an annoyed voice, but the other two still knew he was worried. Gerald explained the situation, while Franz tended to Geralds wounds and nose, and Josef gave Brownie something to drink and eat.
After Franz was finished his sister Lea and Gerald's sisters East Gerald and Yoko came home as well. When they saw Gerald, they were worried and asked what happened. Gerald gave them the short explanation. Not long after Josef and Brownie came out of the kitchen and Lea and East Gerald were in awed. They went over and pet the dog, who enjoyed the attention. ,,Are you gonna keep her?" Yoko asked next to younger brother. ,,If she wants to," Gerald answers. And as if Brownie could understand him, she barked, wiggled with her tail and jumped a bit into the air. ,,I think that was a yes," Josef laughed.
At night when Gerald went to bed, Brownie laid herself next to him on his bed. Gerald didn't mind at all and stroke through her fur. She licked his face gently, not touching his nose and they went both to sleep.
Gerald took his daily walk in the nearby park. After about an hour he took a break, bought a Hotdog and sat on a random bench. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the late spring sun.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a dog, a German Shepherd to be exact. She was just sitting there looking at him with big adorably eyes. ,,Aww hello there," Gerald said, holding out his hand for the dog to sniff. The dog did and let herself get pet by Gerald. She got even closer and laid her head on his leg, looking at the Hotdog in Gerald's hand. The boy finally understood what she wanted from him and gave her half of the sausage. She took it happily, wagging her tail.
,,Did you like it?" Gerald asked, starting to pet her again. He took her licking her mouth, as a yes. After finishing the Hotdog, he went on with his walk. Surprising to him the dog followed him even after showing her that he didn't have any more food left. Apparently, she didn't care and she just stayed by his side, only when he went home did she begin to distance herself.
From that day on he saw her nearly every day, because of that he always brought some food for her with him. After a few days he decided to call her Brownie and it seemed she liked that name. He played with her in the park and taught her some tricks.
One day he leaves for his walk a bit later in the afternoon, because of some work he had to finish. He packed small sausages for Brownie and left. In the park, Brownie accompanied him at a random time. At first he was a little startled when Brownie suddenly walked next to him, but by now he was pretty used to it. They walked a bit, with Gerald giving the dog occasionally a little sausage.
When the sun began to set Gerald decided it was time to go home and like always Brownie distanced herself little by little.
A little while after she was gone, three men approached Gerald. They had the smell of alcohol on them. Gerald tried to calmly walk past them, but they had other plans. Two of them grabbed his arms and carried him into an alleyway. The third searched his first his jacked and then his trousers pockets but got frustrated when he just found Gerald's phone and 3,70€. The smaller of the two, who held Gerald let go of him, while the other took both of his arms and held them tightly to the Germans back. The one who let go began to punch him in the stomach. Gerald let out a few pained screams before the men behind him held his mouth shut with his hand. He tried to free himself, but the man holding him was stronger. A few tears welled up at the edge of his eyes, while the second man hit him repeatedly.
,,Aww is the little guy gonna cry, because of a few light punches?" the one, who searched his pockets mocked. Gerald closed his eyes and looked away as best as he could, with someone holding his moth. ,,Look at me when I'm talking to you!" the man in front of him yelled, he harshly took Gerald chin making him look at him and then pushed him in the nose. Gerald gave a muffled scream from himself and the tears began to fall. He could feel blood running down his nose.
Suddenly they could hear an angry bark and growl. It was Brownie she heard her friends screams and ran as fast as she could to find him.
The men just laughed at the dog, until he attacked the one, who was holding Gerald. The man let go of said boy, who scrambled away into a corner of the alleyway. The other men kicked the dog away from themselves and left, not wanting to deal with an angry dog right now.
Gerald crawled over to Brownie making sure she wasn't hurt too bad. She had a few scratches but was fine for the most part. She licked over his face but immediately stopped and looked worried, when Gerald winced. His nose hurt like hell but luckily it didn't feel broken. He slowly stood up and held his sore stomach. On the way back to his uncle's house, Brownie didn't leave Gerald side for even a second.
When they finally arrived home, Josef, his uncle opened the door. ,,Gerald? Are you okay?!" his uncle let him and helped him to the couch. Brownie followed behind and sat herself in front of the couch. ,,What happened and who is your little friend?" Josef asked worriedly. ,,Brownie, remember the stray dog I told you about." ,,Oh yeah, I remember."
,,Franz get the first aid kit and get your butt down here!" Josef yelled upstairs. After a few moments Franz showed up in the living room with the kit. ,,What happened this time?" Franz asked in an annoyed voice, but the other two still knew he was worried.
Gerald explained the situation making himself unintentionally smaller. Brownie, who noticed it started to lick his hand, to which Gerald started to relax and pet her.
While Franz tended to Geralds wounds and nose, and Josef decided to give Brownie something to drink and eat.
After Franz was finished with Gerald's wounds his sister Lea and Gerald's sisters Erika and Yoko came home as well. When they saw Gerald, they were worried and asked what happened. Gerald gave them the short explanation.
Not long after Josef and Brownie came out of the kitchen again and Lea and Erika were in awe. They went over and pet the dog, who enjoyed the attention.
,,Are you gonna keep her?" Yoko asked calmly next to her younger brother. ,,If she wants to," Gerald answers. And as if Brownie could understand him, she barked, wiggled with her tail and jumped a bit into the air. ,,I think that was a yes," Josef laughed.
At night when Gerald went to bed, Brownie laid herself next to him on his bed. Gerald didn't mind at all and stroke through her fur. She licked his face gently, making sure not to touching his nose and they both fell sleep.
