Walked out of work yesterday, and immediately spotted, up ahead, a black lab puppy. Took my headphones out and thought “i’m having some of that” and with that, it’s lead slipped out of it’s owners hand and it started running down the pavement toward me. I had a minor internal panic that it would run into the road and get killed, so was immediately squatting down calling toward me, which it did. Jumped into my arms and gave me a massive lick. Owner was grateful, I was delighted, and the dog got a kick out of nibbling my headphones. 11 weeks old; Utter legend.
In the midst of this (which lasted about 7 seconds), I had enough time to think to myself “if I catch it, can I keep it?”
