I saw myself at the supermarked, frolicking, when suddenly, I accidentally kicked a dog in the behind. The poor dog leapt in pain, and the owner started screaming at me. That me would not happen. I ran quietly to the check-out. I looked at the dog, and took calculated steps. Suddenly, the dog became aware of my prescence and he rolled right to where I wanted to walk. I started to swerve away, and he moved his body to completely bock the entrance. There I stood, paused on one foot, looking for a place to step with my other leg, yet the dog, with all of it's legs on the ground followed my movements. We both knew what was going to happen, the dog and I. We knew neither of us could give up. But I had the advantage, because I could talk to the owner of the dog. ''Excuse me, could you call your dog out of the way so I could get through?''
