Every morning, the Pirate Dog hides behind a corner of the Skid Barn and sets her trap for Red, she waits until he is coming round along the fence on his outrun, and when he right upon her, she springs out and tries to startle him. Red is unflappable, if he even sees Fate at all, he never shows it.

Fate is not deterred by his indifference. The next morning, she is back plotting again, hoping to surprise and unnerve Red. I doubt she will ever succeed, I doubt he will ever notice. you can see that pirate look in the photo.
