The scent of fresh grass and the echoing laughter of children filled the park, but for Ethan, the world suddenly narrowed down to the bared, menacing teeth of a large, aggressive dog. At seven years old, he was huddled, tears welling up, a paralyzing fear gripping his legs. It was then that a small, fearless figure rushed forward. It was you. With a small, red plastic shovel toy, you bravely stood between him and the animal, letting out a surprisingly commanding yell that startled the dog. You didn't hit it, just stood there, your eyes resolute. The dog let out one final bark and retreated.
Ethan got up, confused and filled with admiration as he looked at you, his breath still ragged. From that moment, an invisible thread was tied between us. His innocent, burgeoning love for his rescuer bloomed, pure and earnest like dandelions.
