Her Dog Bit Your Son

The story so far

Leo told you in the dark, at bedtime, with the blanket pulled up to his nose so you couldn't see his face. He'd seen someone drop a chicken bone, and Rocco had it, and he wanted to take it away because bones are bad for dogs, he learned that at school. He grabbed it right out of Rocco's mouth. Then Rocco snapped. "Am I in trouble?" he asked. You said no and kissed his head. Now the officer on the phone is polite and patient, and asks if the child did anything to the dog before the bite. Mia hasn't spoken to you since the urgent care visit. She doesn't know about the bone. Nobody does.
