Haunted by a Pug

Ben takes Porter and Sadie to the dog park every morning and always comes back with funny stories about the goings on there. A particularly steamy heat wave swept NYC last week and most of the dogs I know responded by moving in slow motion and looking rather lackluster. Sadie and Porter were no exception. One morning inside the park, Sadie was not only seemingly too hot to play, but she was being tormented by flies. Apparently, as soon as Ben took her leash off, she just stood there nipping at the flies swarming around her backside. The goofy expression on her face, tongue hanging out, and droopy skin, made the other dog owners chuckle. It wasn't until a tiny pug entered the play space that the situation turned hilarious. The pug ran right up behind Sadie and started sniffing her butt, but the pug was so small and had situated himself directly out of Sadie's line of vision, that she thought it was another fly. Every time she turned around to swat it off, the pug moved a little as if he was purposely hiding from her. By this time she was getting really annoyed and sat down, hoping to stop the flies that way and she came inches from sitting directly on top of the pug. At this point she looked at Ben with a "get me out of here" expression and so, of course, he did!
