I know what I'm thinking

I watch the dogs on the trail and think, what good sports they are!

Dog etiquette is sort of a meet and greet, but people on the trail are always jerking their dogs around, or back, or shouting at them to not do this.

I look down at a smiling face, tongue lolling out of a pug nosed creature who is doing his best to be charming and I smile.

I am smiling because I am afraid of dogs I don't know and I want them to know I am very friendly and sweet and certainly not any kind of threat.

I find most of them leashed and therefore adorable and I admire both cute dogs and good owners who take them on walks.

But I also wonder what the dog is thinking.
