"Oh, you magnificent creature!" Maria exclaimed, her voice barely a whisper, a huge smile blooming on her face. Seeing Champ, the Siberian husky, sniffing at her rose bushes, she felt an unparalleled sense of giddiness. She’d been feeling so low lately, but this, this was a gift.

Her fingers tingled with anticipation. She reached for a tennis ball, a silly grin plastered across her face.

Every step was light, almost like she was floating. "Come on, Champ! Fetch!" she practically screamed, the words lost in a gust of wind. The world was dancing to her happy tune.
