...your bike-obsessed terrier manages to pull his lead from your friend's hand while you're out for a gentle evening walk and dashes off down the road in hot pursuit of a cyclist. Five frantic minutes of running and calling later, he did reappear, oh so proud of himself! Not quite what we'd intended for our summer evening stroll...! πŸ˜³πŸ™„
