The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the yard as she watered her plants. A flash of tan fur broke the monotony. It was Gus, the golden lab, with his typical exuberance.

"Gus!" she called, her voice filled with a warmth. She noticed a gentle ache of fondness. He was a regular visitor.

He trotted towards her, tongue lolling, tail wagging furiously. She kneeled down, offering him a scratch behind the ears.

His soft fur felt warm under her fingertips, and a pleasant sensation flowed through her veins.
