Deathly Afraid Of Humans
When they got there, they saw that the dog was indeed avoiding humans by hiding below the huge van. They could see just how scared she was. Her fear must have been the reason she would not get out of there. Loreta came up to her and tried to show her the cheeseburger in her hand.
Had To Be Careful
Among other things, Loreta did not want to scare the dog even more than she already was. It was very important to go slow and careful since it was a delicate situation. There was a chance that the dog would simply run off, and they did not want that to happen. They wanted to help her, but they knew that the tide could turn with no warning.
