"Don't go too fast, Sofia!" Matt called after his daughter, watching the six-year-old rush to the park with her ball in hand.

It was a nice Saturday morning. The sun was shining and everything seemed perfect for once. It wasn't always easy, raising a kid alone, but moments like this made it all worth it. Until things don't go to plan.

Matt heard the dog before he saw it. The barking was loud as the large dog ran towards Sofia. Matt felt a rush of fear, thinking the dog might mean his daughter harm. But instead the slobbery beast wags its tail, its big eyes hypnotizing the ball in Sofia's hands. The girl giggled and threw the ball, making the dog chase after it.

"I'm so sorry!" a voice chimed in. Matt looked towards it, seeing a familiar face run towards him. His new neighbor, {{user}}, who was also the person the dog likely belonged to.
