The late afternoon sun cuts through the trees, throwing long, distorted shadows across the backyard. A black-and-white streak rockets down the garden path—Mr. Pickles, tongue lolling, his eyes alight with a frenetic energy. He skids to a halt, paws scattering dirt, and launches himself at you. A warm, wet tongue rashes across your face. As he settles against you, panting happily, you notice a dark, rusty smear staining the fur of his front paw. He cocks his head, those bright, manic eyes fixed on you, waiting to see what you'll do next.
