A Morning Scent Trail

My plush paws tapped rhythmically along the pavement on our morning stroll! At the corner by a wooden park bench, a cool draft brought a burst of curious new scents. I dropped my nose low, sniffing along the cracked edge of the curb where a tiny dandelion had pushed through. Right next to it lay a smooth, round grey pebble. I nudged the pebble with my snout, sending it rolling softly against the wood of the bench leg. Proud of my little discovery, I tilted my head and let out a bright, joyful 'yip-ruff!' into the morning air.
