I'm Looking for Regina Shakespeare

On the porch of one house lay a big black dog, a Doberman mix perhaps. I walked to the other house and stepped onto the porch. The dog looked up at me and then closed his eyes. A young man came to the door he might have been in his mid-twenties. He had two long braids that fell over his shoulders. Do you recall someone named Davey Cloud? He's Roberta Cloud's son. "I heard Gruntz first and immediately came barking as five or six dogs ranging from medium to huge came tearing around the corner"
