Was just jogging along my usual route on Sunday when I happened to pass this man (prob in this 30's) walking his dog. Not too sure what breed it was, but it was one of those medium sized dogs - quite pretty actually. Anyway, there was this little girl (say ard 5-6yrs?) who was running towards our direction. I think she kinda strayed from her mum who was a good 50m away. Suddenly, she just froze on the spot upon seeing the dog.
So ok, from my perspective, the doggie saw the girl and thought, 'Great, a kid who's cute enough to play with me! Maybe I should run up towards her and lick her...'
*Dog runs towards girl*
Poor little girl starts screaming and out of fear, runs about in circles...literally! Stupid owner didnn't really do much to help except try calling his dog back by name. Obviously, the dog is too occupied trying to get the attention of the girl thinking that she wants to play coz she's circling about! Girl on the other hand looked rather hysterical by this point...
Seeing that nothing was being done, I decided to be 'gung-ho' and chase after the doggie, in an attempt to 'SAVE' the girl. *Ooooo* Boy.... am I good or am I good? Managed to grab hold of the dog's collar and held it still. But girl was still running in circles! By this time her mum came and did what most mums would do la... sayang, hug hug, kiss kiss.
*returned dog to owner, who didn't have much to say*
Continued on my jog...
Then this thought flashed thru my mind as I jogged away...
Why the hell was the girl running in circles! I know she was in fear and all, but I'm thinking instinctively, I would have ran straight back towards my mum! I dunno la.... just found that rather funny. ( U need to see it to understand.... was pretty hilarious! I'm so mean!)
