"Hold that dog"

His voice seemed distant, but loud enough for Dick to stop his marathon run in the park and remove the headphones from his ears.

He turned towards the sound and watched as a Doberman ran wildly towards him holding a leash in its mouth, followed by a girl trying to hold him back.

The dog jumped into Dick's lap, licking him and knocking him to the lawn.

"Hey big boy, calm down! Calm down!"
