Wild Times With Wiggles
I’m walking down a lane I take home that has houses on one side and a grassy park with a lot of trees on the other side. I travel down there every day with zero issues, but today I encounter an unattended boxer dog. I’ve never encountered this dog, so have no idea where it lives and even if it lives down this lane. It’s also an unknown dog to me and I’m a stranger to it, so it may be aggressive. I stop a little distance away from it.
For some reason, I adopt that cutesy voice people use when they talk to dogs.
Me: “Well, hello there.”
The dog wags its entire body in happiness.
Me: “I don’t think you should be out here all by yourself, should you?”
The dog keeps on wagging.
Me: “Where’s your mummy or daddy, then?”
I hear a disembodied woman’s voice coming from a house.
Woman: “OH, S***! WHERE IS HE?!”
Me: To the dog “There’s your mummy!” Calling out “Excuse me, you missing a boxer?”
The woman appears, having just left her back garden.
Woman: “Yes! I’m so sorry! I know he’s big but he’s a sweetie. People make him waggle with joy!”
It turned out that they’d just moved to the area and that Wiggles — the dog — was able to jump the fence. They quickly had a new, higher fence in place.
