It was the perfect fall afternoon—crisp air, golden sunlight streaming through the trees, and leaves in every shade of red, orange, green, and gold crunching underfoot. Jake and Kat had bundled up in light jackets, holding hands as they walked down a quiet forest path. At their side (or sometimes way ahead of them) was Oliver, their little brown fluffy dog, absolutely losing his mind in the best way.

As soon as they unclipped his leash at the edge of the trail, Oliver bolted into the piles of leaves like a furry missile.

“He’s on a mission to destroy every leaf in existence,” Jake laughed, watching Oliver dive headfirst into a pile of orange and red leaves, sending them flying.

Kat crouched to grab a few leaves for her Instagram story, but instead ended up being ambushed by a blur of brown fur and flying leaves as Oliver zipped past, skidding and crashing into her legs.

“I swear he thinks this is a video game,” she said through a laugh.
