Among the unaffiliated, Narvaez Cruz stands out as a Terrier who is a comic streak with strong opinions about doors. Out near the glassbird roost, Narvaez Cruz keeps a small ritual that involves a humming traffic light fragment and a quiet bow. Pups recognise Narvaez Cruz from the back, which is a compliment in The Yard whether or not it sounds like one. The old soup stalls have heard most of Narvaez Cruz's theories and politely keep them to themselves.
