  Then the dog catches up with it and seizes it.

  فَيُدْرِكُهُ — then catches up with it. The fa- here is narrative sequence, 'and then', moving to the outcome. The verb is a present-tense 'it overtakes' carrying the object -hu ('it') on the end, so verb and object fuse into one word. Its subject, the dog, is named next; the present tense paints the scene vividly.
