Avoiding Contact With Humans
By staying under the huge van, the dog in question had attempted to stop humans. It was obvious she was terrified. This describes her inability to get out of the town. Loreta approached her, seeking to explain to the wretched creature that they had food with them. Would this strategy have worked?
Proceed With Caution
Loreta tried to stop frightening the poor dog more. This was why she made sure to handle the issue cautiously and deliberately. If the dog got away from them, that might have been much more complicated. While they tried to support, they had to be sure that they weren’t going to act aggressively.
