I tried to guess what was going through this adorable dog’s mind long after the car drove away.

Possibilities included:

What’s that smell?

I think I smell food.

I can’t see very well.

I wish she would scratch my ears.

I wonder if that person over there would play with me.

I finally settled on:

I’m so happy.

That’s the thing about dogs. They are always totally present in the moment, fully enjoying the company of their people.
