Max’s unexpected barbecue
At our family barbecue, everything was going smoothly until Max suddenly threw himself against the fence, barking with unexpected ferocity. The burgers were forgotten and the spatula slipped out of John’s hands, who exclaimed: “What’s gotten into him?” The friends’ conversation stopped immediately and Amanda, our neighbor, was stunned by the sudden frenzy. The air was filled with tension and Max’s incessant barking ripped through the evening’s merriment, making it clear that something on the other side of the fence had caught his attention.

Jake chases Max
Jake didn’t hesitate and shot after Max, dropping the hot dog on the grass as he shouted, “Max, wait!”, between nervous laughter and urgency. The dog darted away from the picnic tables and around the stunned guests, zigzagging determinedly towards the fence. I ran after them with my heart pounding, while Jake struggled to keep up with our tireless shepherd. There was something almost playful in the lightness of his movements, but Max’s steady, determined eyes revealed that his run had a much more serious purpose.
