understanding the neighbor

W* found way to the neighbor's doorstep this morning.  raised its head to the neighbors, expecting.  anyone who knows W* knows the neighborhood children's pet.  nearly not an ounce of mean-ness on this dog, who worries me, who befriends grown strangers, adores babies and lets little children touch forehead.  the neighbor took an umbrella to hit him, who bent low in sudden fear, unexpecting violence.  i took W* and apologized to the man, for the affectionate dog who trespassed, who expected warmth from all, who must have raised his fear.
