He flirts with her attention, playfully testing her resolve. It's clear that Henry likes Sarah, because when he sees she has given up, he immediately joins her at the gate.
Book Excerpt
Oh, Henry
It took me twenty minutes to collect Henry and leave the dog park. He lay in the shade, not moving a muscle, for over an hour until I approached with the leash. Then, he suddenly decided to run away from me and lay in a different spot. He ran away at my every approach. Most of the folks in the park watched me chase him unsuccessfully. One of the deadbeats, red-headed George, snickered. The cuter deadbeat probably would have laughed, too, but he had already left with his obedient chocolate and black-colored dogs. After I gave up and walked sulkily toward the gate, Henry trotted up behind me, panting near my ankles. His doleful eyes smirked, Just kidding.
