CJ huffs, and throws his toy across the room. It gives a satisfying 'whack' sound.

He's mad

Brown Dog walks over and plops near him and looks at the toy, looks at him.

CJ feels guilty "Go away, Browndog"

Brown Dog does not

"Just go away" the boy pushes a bit at the dog, but then the dog licks him and CJ stops, and hugs browndog instead

And he begins to cry. "I lied. I don't want you to go away. I don't want you to leave like sissy does"
