Chris and Noah chatted while they strolled down main street Frederickport, enjoying the brisk December afternoon while the sun shone brightly overhead. Each wore a heavy jacket to ward off the winter chill. Chris buried one hand in his coat pocket while his other hand held Hunny’s leash. The pit bull walked on his left, looking at all the sights while careful not to tug on the lead.

Not once today had Chris needed to jerk the lead while issuing the command to heel. Chris glanced down at Hunny and smiled, proud of the well-behaved dog. Reluctantly he had to credit Walt for Hunny’s training. It seemed being able to clearly communicate with a dog—especially one who wanted to please—made dog training a snap.

Just as they were about to pass Lucy’s Diner, a man and woman stepped out from the restaurant, and without warning, Hunny lurched forward, jerking the lead from Chris’s hand. The next moment the pit bull, now an uncontrollable mass of wiggles and whimpers, demanded attention from the woman, who, with her companion, stood speechless and frozen on the sidewalk, looking down at the dog.

“I am so sorry!” Chris shouted as he grabbed hold of Hunny’s lead and attempted to tug her away. But the dog refused to budge and continued vying for the woman’s attention.

“I think she likes you,” Noah said, surprised at the pit bull’s unexpected behavior.

“Oh my, umm…yes, I see that,” the woman said nervously as she glanced over at the man at her side and then back to the dog, who now cried pitifully as Chris pulled her away.

“Can I pet her?” the woman asked hesitantly. “She seems friendly.”

The man at her side remained speechless, but Chris loosened his hold, and Hunny happily returned to the woman, who now knelt before her, talking baby talk and accepting the dog kisses.
