Renae has three brothers. Over the course of a weekend, she observed them
in different situations with the new neighbors. Her oldest brother, Nick,
stepped in front of her when the neighbors’ large dog got loose and started
running toward her. Her middle brother, Joe, loudly threatened the neighbors
as to what would happen if they did not keep their dog chained up. Her
younger brother, Scott, retreated into the house when all the shouting
occurred.
