There was once a suburban neighbourhood where every house was nearly the same. Everyone who lived there seemed to have a car, a job, and a family to look after; apart from two elderly people who loved next door to each other. These people lived on their own, but each had a dog. The dogs each enjoyed looking after their owners. They would play with them, let them know when someone was at the door and kept them company. But they each missed the hustle and bustle of the outside world. When their owners were asleep, they would spend ages at the window watching the world go by. It annoyed them that they could hear and see these outside sounds but that they could not take part in it. Occasionally, they would be let outside to run around in the back garden. This was amazing for them since they could get a proper sniff of the world beyond the house even though they couldn’t see it. And one morning, both dogs were let out at the same time. The only thing between them was a fence.
