He saw the golden retriever, again, through the kitchen window. Another escape. Normally, I would be agitated; it was a Tuesday morning, I was late for work, and I didn't want to get involved. But today was different. He had always been a great source of amusement, always happy to see him.

The dog ran towards his bird feeder. This time, I did not curse. I ran outside, and was elated when the dog started running away, only to make a beeline towards me. I couldn't help but crack a smile, I loved that the dog would come to him.

I patted my leg, and the dog came towards me. I got down on the ground, and loved how he licked my face.
