... were they saying hello back? or was that something else? Go figure Zeke didn't speak dog, or wolf, and so all of this suddenly seemed incredibly inconvenient. WHY COULDN'T ANIMALS SPEAK ENGLISH?!... Wait. Woah. So... did that mean when someone told a dog to sit, that they didn't KNOW it was sit? But hey figured it out somehow?
This was mind-blowing, he was learning animal psychology right now!
While he didn't know what the dog was trying to say, he knew by the growl that the head rub hadn't been appreciated. But honestly, he hadn't meant to knock the poor thing over like that. Just didn't know his own strength?
He'd had a head start, but that was about the only advantage he had, because even though longer legs were usually good for covering distance... long legs were also a hindrance when one wasn't familiar with making them run. The first few steps he took as he went to bolt down the corridor the other way had gone fine, but it was as he was bringing his hind legs forward that he knocked them into one of his front paws, effectively kicking his own leg out from under him.
Zeke thudded to the floor, landing mostly on his shoulder, a sharp yelp escaped him from the pain and shock of the fall. Sheeeeesh. He didn't even want to look back, he was sure the dog was hot on his tail now. Getting back up was slow, moving one paw at a time.
