An old dog tries to please her master.
A Good Girl
by A.Z. Schott
“Ginger? Here, girl!" I fly into his arms and kiss his face.
"Oh, who's a good girl?" His fingers scratch behind my ear. Today’s going to be a great day!
He reaches for my leash, and we walk down the street.
We get to a new building. So many dogs! So many smells! So exciting!
He hands my leash to a stranger. He looks at me again. He's not smiling. “I’m sorry.”
He walks away.
What’s wrong? I try to follow him, but the stranger won't let me. Where is he going? Why?
I thought--I was a good girl.
