With a burst of speed, Holly leaped up on the sidewalk before settling herself at Flip’s feet. “I’m Flip,” he said looking down at a face projecting instant adoration. Bending over, Flip noticed that under her spiked collar hung a nametag: Holly. “I knew it,” he mumbled. “The perfect name for any collie!”
Flip didn’t usually shout at strangers, but Holly seemed like such a free spirit. Though unwarranted objectification, he felt drawn to her lack of pretension and interest. Besides, Holly took no offense at his familiarity. Instead, she gazed at him affirmatively before running across Main Street traffic.

Silly dog. A happy ending to a potentially sad one. Nice smile at the end.
