While Megan and the detective had talked to the woman at the house, Brigit had been having fun with the dog with the smushed-in face. She’d been afraid at first that Megan might get angry with her for playing around on duty, but Megan was so focused on talking to the other women that she wasn’t paying any attention to Brigit. She and the other dog had each taken an end of a rope toy in their teeth and engaged in a game of tug-of-war. Brigit thought she’d easily best the little beast, but the dog was surprisingly heavy for her small size. She got a good grip on the rope, too. She proved to be a much more formidable opponent than Brigit had expected.
In the end, Brigit had dragged the other dog across the floor and claimed victory. Luckily, the dog wasn’t a sore loser. She’d wagged her tail, grabbed the rope, and run across the room with it, challenging Brigit to a second game. Brigit was just about to pick the rope up in her teeth again when Megan told her it was time to go. Brigit glanced back at the little dog from the front doorway and wagged her tail goodbye. See you later!
