people were sitting and lying on the grass. Marking the center of the park was a large statue of a civil war general, proudly sitting on top of his horse.

Genghis tore across the roadway. More horns and more brakes as cars avoided hitting the big dog as he ran between cars. An SUV braked hard, tires screaming, the vehicle coming within less than three feet of Genghis.

The man in the jeans looked behind as he ran, wondering what the disturbances were that he left in his wake. A few yards ahead of him were a young couple. They were sitting on the ground having an early dinner before seeing a movie. It was their third date. Suddenly a man ran across their picnic blanket, knocking over drinks and kicking a bowl of potato salad like a soccer ball. The man in the jeans stumbled as his foot got caught in the blanket. He kicked it away and kept running.

Genghis entered the park. Now without any obstacles in his way he was able to hit his full stride. The young couple were on their knees picking up the remnants of their picnic when the young man glanced up. โ€œWatch it, Babe. Watch it!โ€ The young lady turned in the direction of his alarm. She let out a small scream and dove for the ground as a large dog hurtled over both of them. The animal hit the ground on all fours and tore off, kicking up dirt. The funny thing was, when the young couple later thought back to the event, they both could have sworn they heard someone say โ€˜excuse meโ€™ as the dog jumped over them.

A few moments after the dog passed, another man came running by. He was huffing and puffing and breathing hard. โ€œSorry! โ€“ Sorry! โ€“  That was my canine,โ€ he said, as he ran by the young couple. He was followed by a woman, flailing her arms and shouting, โ€œWait up! Wait for me!โ€

The young couple stood up, looked at each other, and in unison said, โ€œWhat the hell is going on?โ€

The man in the jeans was nearly at the end of the park, heading for an alley he knew very well, when he felt an enormous blow to his back. He was thrown forward, knees buckling as he lost his footing. His chest hit the ground hard, knocking wind out of his lungs, his face digging into the soft dirt, his mouth filling with grass. He lay there stunned for a few seconds, then coughed out some grass and proceeded to prop himself up on his forearms. He looked up and came face to face with a snarling Doberman Pinscher.

Genghis wasnโ€™t sure why he was having this reaction, showing his teeth and growling and all. But it seemed to be the thing to do. He then gave two sharp aggressive barks throwing saliva onto the face of the man in the jeans.

The man rolled to his back and using his elbows tried to crawl away from the growling dog. โ€œOh, shit!โ€

Just then Trent came running up. Breathing heavily, he stopped, bent over, and put his hands on his knees.

โ€œShit, man!โ€ The man in the jeans pleaded with Trent. โ€œCall off your fucking dog!โ€

โ€œStay on the ground,โ€ Trent said, still trying to catch his breath. โ€œAnd the canine wonโ€™t inflict any harm to you.โ€

A small crowd started to gather. Among them was the young couple. More people were walking up. Some of the bystanders got on their cell phones. The woman finally caught up and burst through the small crowd. She snatched up her purse and swiftly kicked the man in the jeans in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him for the second time.

โ€œI hope that dog bit you on your ass, asshole!โ€ she shouted. She then turned to Trent. โ€œThank you so much.โ€

โ€œIt was our pleasure, madame,โ€ Trent replied, finally breathing normally.

A police car pulled up to the curb bordering the park.

โ€œYou really have a well trained dog. Is he friendly?โ€ And before Trent could answer she bent down toward Genghis, took his head in both hands, and started rubbing. โ€œYes, yes, youโ€™re a good boy arenโ€™t you, yes you are.โ€ Genghis wasnโ€™t sure how to react. How would a human canine react to this kind of an assault? He wasnโ€™t sure. But one odd thing, he couldnโ€™t stop his little nub of a tail from vigorously wagging back and forth. Now why the hell was that?

โ€œThank you again,โ€ the woman said, straightening up. โ€œThank you so much.โ€

Just then a voice came from the crowd. โ€œOkay, whatโ€™s the problem here?โ€ It was a police officer cutting through the crowd, followed by another.

โ€œYeah! I can tell you,โ€ the woman said, โ€œThis piece of shit inbred stole my purse. And if it wasnโ€™t for this man he would have gotten away with it.โ€

The police officer looked down at the man in the jeans. โ€œLouie, you stealing purses again? This is strike three buddy. You know what that means.โ€

The woman started to explain everything that happened. From the theft of the purse to the kick to the stomach.

The police officer looked at Trent, then to Genghis. โ€œThatโ€™s a pretty well trained dog you got there. You in security or something?โ€

Jeff looked nervously at Genghis, who looked back with the same expression, then back to the police officer. โ€œYes, you could say that.โ€

โ€œOkay,โ€ the police officer said. โ€œIโ€™m going to need all principal parties to stick around and give me a statement.โ€ The second police officer rolled Louie over and handcuffed him. โ€œEverybody else, go home. Nothing more to see here, move on,โ€ the police officer said, shooing the bystanders away like cattle.

Jeff Trent bent down and pretended to adjust Genghisโ€™s collar. He then got close to his partner's ear, โ€œI think we better go,โ€ he whispered. โ€œWeโ€™re attracting way too much attention to ourselves.โ€

โ€œI concur,โ€ Genghis said quietly, while looking toward the ground.

So, while the two police officers were loading Louie into the back of
