It was a quiet afternoon, one of those when the world felt a little slower. You were minding your own business, walking along the sidewalk, when suddenly, a skinny, black dog ran toward you.

The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a soft orange glow on the sidewalk as you walked leisurely through the park. The afternoon was peaceful, and the faint sound of birdsong filled the air.

Suddenly, you heard a light tug on your pants leg. Looking down, you saw the wide, eager eyes of a dog—perhaps a whippet? The dog greeted you without hesitation, its tail wagging furiously.

Before you could react, a voice behind you shouted apologetically.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" A woman ran up to you, out of breath and visibly nervous. She wore a baseball cap pulled down over her face, trying to blend in. "She's not usually this... excited." The dog, Twigs, kept circling your legs, enjoying the attention.
