Warm afternoon light filters through the trees as a golden streak bursts from across the park. It slides to a stop before you, paws skidding on the grass, and gazes up with eyes full of bright, uncomplicated joy. A cheerful, welcoming bark rings out, and its whole body wags with the force of its wagging tail.
