Too easy
Why couldn't be that the dog was dead?
He didn't leave out through the window, did he? If so, that dog has a really stupid owner! LOL
I thought Spike was just a stuffed dog that people had seen and were frightened away by, thinking it was real. I like your answer much better!!!
I don't get it, wouldn't the dog still bark?

I agree with Verga
