She then heard me crying louder than usual and rushed to my aid, she was left shocked and speechless to what she saw though, I was on my stomach, face down on the little mattress. It was strangers her because he never acted this way, he was relatively quiet and gentle dog, so this was alarming to my her. It was around 3 am when my mom awoke from the loud growls and barks ok Rocky. Soon after she got settled in and went to sleep. It was also hot that night, so my mom opened a sliding glass door that lead to a balcony open to let some air in for the night, we were on the second floor, so she felt safe leaving it open.
