Account
The witness walked down a cut line to gather berries for pie, accompanied by the family dog. About twenty feet ahead the dog froze and she saw a very tall black-haired biped gathering berries. They exchanged a surprised look, she waved, it grunted, then turned and walked quietly into the birch forest.
