When Drew comes home from work, he finds Carl in the backyard in a frenzy and constantly barking. Although he is a relatively quiet dog, Drew was awakened from his nap one night by Carl’s insistent and painful growling, which was usually very “quiet” included.
At first, she removed the barks because they seemed strange, but then she remembered that Carl had been acting strange all day. He quickly turned on the lights in an alarming state to discover smoke billowing from the walls.
