A Feisty Flying Ace

The other day on my way home, I saw a Snoopy like dog rocketing around on a quiet residential street. Since I saw no one was guiding this furry flying machine, I worried the little pooch might have slipped out of the house without his best friend’s knowledge. So I was thinking about alerting the dog pound of this wayward dog.

At first, I saw a white dog on the lawn of a street corner. Despite his small stature, he, with his back legs, was fervently scratching the grasses beneath him and brought rains of grasses and dirts onto the street behind him. But the way he held his head up gave me an impression that he was not on his own turf. He knew very well what he was doing would fetch him some unpleasant attentions. While his back quarter was busy digging, he held his head upright and looked out for any interlopers.

Then suddenly, he decided to move onto a greener pasture. He zigged and zagged onto another street corner a few houses down and started his destructive excavation again. But once he realized I was watching him, before he disappeared into a hedge in front of a house nearby he gave me a defiant look as if he was telling me "See if you can catch me!" - Ayee
