A Familiar Sound
As we got closer to the park, a bark echoed through the crisp evening air. Rocky almost froze, ears pointing toward the sound with curious intensity.
I could feel his curiosity spike, and for the first time on this walk, his tail wagged enthusiastically.
“Did you hear that, buddy?” I asked, although his amused snort of breath already answered me. A glimmer of recognition flickered in his eyes, pulling him toward the familiar bark echoing across the park.
