Every morning, like clockwork, McCoy gets up at five o'clock, then goes over to the small dog bed in the corner of his room to wake Savannah. She knows what this means, and she's so excited that she practically hooks her leash to her collar herself. Once he's dressed, he takes Savannah's leash and leads her out. They step out into the brisk Toidaren air, he glances down at her and nods, and she takes off while he keeps pace behind her.
