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.
