Flashes of Panic

There was a dog at Puffer’s Pond the other day. This isn’t strange. The dog’s person was standing on shore, pitching a ball out into the water, and the dog would swim out after it.

Again, not too memorable. What I remember was the way the dog looked like an old wooden powerboat, particularly with its tail sticking straight up out of the water behind it like a flagpole as it paddled out.
