The spotted dog

I was walking home today and saw three dogs... I found it odd because these three dogs were very clean, and they did not seem like stray dogs... you can kind of feel the strays because the strays usually tend to be afraid of getting close to you. Poor things, they must have gone through some serious hard times with whichever humans had them. Anyway, they didn't seem like strays.

One of the dogs was white with black spots. His ears were pink with black spots. They flapped as he walked, and then he turned and I was able to see that the dog was a girl. She wasn't a mother though because they didn't sag. But she looked beautiful to me. She seemed to trot, and her ears would flap in unison to the rhythm of her steps. Her butt would go sideways to the right as she walked. She went up to me and I felt her nose on my jeans. I bet it was wet. She then followed me. She walked besides me, I walked on the concrete part while she trotted on the grassy area. Every few steps she'd go down to the grass and sniff around... if she was a male dog I'd say looking to place his mark, but because she is not, I don't know what to say about it. I crossed the street and she crossed the other street perpendicular to the one I crossed. She went up to an older man and he shooed her away with his wooden cane. She went around him, walked past him and saw me cross the other street and she crossed the street perpendicular to it to meet me. She continued, besides me. I wanted to pet her, I wanted to hold her, I wanted to tell her she was beautiful, that she should come with me. I didn't. I went through the gate to where I live, walked up the steps and looked down once I was at the top. She had been sniffing the grass in front. She looked up at me. I stared and she stared back. "I hope my company, however short it was, made you feel better," and then she turned back to where we came from and seemed to retrace her steps back. I walked into the house.
