Inspired by a dog walker.

This is the second time I have met these four spaniels and their owner on a narrow path. The first time, off their leads in the woods, they were trotting along in front of their owner. One brief whistle and a brief gesture and all four dogs were huddled together by the path, tails wagging.
Today, they all had leads on so she soon had them tucked in patiently by her side in spite of the fact that there was another dog approaching. She made it all look so effortless.
