Beside him, always, was Barnaby. Barnaby was a Golden Retriever who seemed to have been spun from the very sunlight they sat in. He didn't climb the fence—he was far too dignified for that—but he would lean his heavy, warm shoulder against Leo’s leg, a silent anchor in a world that felt too big for a seven-year-old.
As the sky turned a deep, bruised purple, Leo felt a gentle nudge. Barnaby was standing now, his head cocked toward the farmhouse where a single yellow light had just flickered on in the kitchen window. It was the signal.
Leo hopped down, his feet hitting the ground with a soft thud. He buried his hands in Barnaby’s thick mane, inhaling the scent of dried cedar and summer air. They walked back together, a boy and his golden shadow, leaving the fence to guard the hill until the sun returned.
If the image depicts something else, please describe the details (the characters, the setting, or the mood), and I’ll be happy to write a story that fits perfectly!
