I saw a DOG walking a MAN and I don’t know what to think

That’s right; I saw a dog walking a man and I am completely confounded on what to think. No I wasn’t high or drunk, I saw it when I was out for one of my runs, at first I just figured the man was one of those people that would drag their slow dogs along but as I my distance shortened I realized it was the dog guiding the man. I know what you’re thinking, sometimes dogs do that and I would say sure, but, the dog was directing the man from behind, even more bewildering was the fact that the dog clenched a leech tightly in it’s jaws while the curious man had it’s collar firmly clasped around his neck. As I ran past I gave the odd man a polite wave thinking he would do the same in return instead his dead eyes roamed around as he tilted his head side to side, though, the dog gave me a bit of a bow; I just shook my head trying to brush off the entire situation as nothing more than the circumstances of big city life.

I’ve always seen the bizarre while running, in fact that’s one of the reasons I like to run; it’s the people watching, seeing others live their lives as I sprint past. Sometimes they wave hi to me and other times they seem to block my path purposely; either way it’s always something different. I’ve seen plenty of muggings, when that happens I try my best not to stare too hard not wanting to get caught up in the situation; I tend to speed up…
