Joy and The Heron

Joy was a very happy dog with a kind owner and they always liked fishing. One day at 6am they went fishing. Joy was so excited to see the sea again. Something weird happened to Joy. A Heron came out of nowhere and stared into Joy's eyes and Joy stared right back. The Heron striked at the can of worms and flew away then joy barked furiously at the Heron the old man heard barking and he told him to shush. Joy went back to his spot. The Heron returned for more worms but this time the dog was ready then in a flash he striked again. Joy started barking again then the owner heard him and the Heron flew away as fast as he could. The owner sent him to the other side of the boat he was sad. But at that moment the bird came and took another worm this time the dog got the other end of the worm they both pulled. They both fell back and the old man was about to yell at Joy then he saw the Heron instead so he shouted at her and shooed it away. Joy watched where the bird was going then he saw three little chicks. Since the heron didn’t have any worms she gave them fish but they didn’t want it. Joy saw why the bird stole the worm so Joy got a pile of worms and the Heron saw that Joy was offering him some worms then he flew over and took it and he flew back. Joy is happy but sad then out of nowhere a fish was thrown at joy. Joy looked behind him and saw the heron with a mouth full of fish then she flew back and the old man looked behind him and saw all the fish he thought that joy had got it so he pet him. Joy saw a dragonfly and chased it.

And that was the last time we heard about the haren and joy
