Lucy was not sure at all about the family approaching us on the trail this afternoon. Catching sight of the four of them with their adorable dog, she tensed and let out a low growl.
"Look!" called one of the little girls. "That dog looks like a big version of Boomer!"
She was right, our dogs did resemble each other.
"Awwwwww," her sister and mom responded. "She's so cute!"
It must have been the tone of voice, or perhaps it was the sheer admiration, that disarmed Lucy, but whatever it was, she relaxed her shoulders, lifted her tail, and pranced happily past.
"Have a great hike!" the dad said us as we passed him on the trail. Boomer just wagged his tail.
One does like to be adored.
