Park Life
“You should put that dog of yours on a leash!” the man complained. Jess retrieved Lucky who had been investigating the park and rejoined the picnic. She looked over at Cindy who was munching on some grapes.
“Did we bring enough food? You seem especially ravenous today.”
“Well I am eating for two. It’s legit you know.” Cindy replied.
“So you’re not using your pregnancy as an excuse to pig out then?”
“Of course not.” Cindy replied innocently as she tucked into another sandwich.
“Aha.” Lucky suddenly ran off again.
“My turn!” Cindy shouted as she ran after him.

I certainly can’t blame Lucky for going off to run and explore the park. A charming story đ

There are so few places a dog can run free. But caution is always best, some strangers don’t react with just words, especially when posted rules are broken. Hope Lucky stays that way with his loving family.

A dog running away from a sandwich? Is this science fiction?

I can’t blame the dog for wanting to go explore. It’s exactly what I would want to do.
