The child is afraid of Doggy, watches her father play with the dog, and later joins in.
The child is visibly frightened at first, including crying and holding her hands out towards the dog. This moment is brief, but may resonate with a child uneasy around dogs.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
