A streak of brown fur grazed your leg walking in the park. The weather had finally warmed up to the point where you could walk outside without a hat and gloves. The first nice day in London in weeks. And now a small ball of brown fur threatened to knock you flat on your ass.

"Who are you, little fella?" you questioned, crouching to inspect his collar for a tag. "Bobby." You turned the tag over. Bobby jumped up to lick your face and barked before sitting, tail wagging in excitement.

You noticed a brown leather leash trailing behind him. You chuckled.

"Did you escape your owner, dear Bobby?" You asked with a smile.

"Indeed he did." A rich baritone called out from behind you. "I should rename him the Great Escapo."

You spun on your heels to find yourself face to face with black trainers and with them, slouchy black socks and a long pair of legs. Wiping off your knees you rose to find yourself face to face with a handsome man in a beard.

"I take it you are Bobby's owner?" You stepped in front of Bobby acting as some sort of shield, protectively of the little spaniel.

"I am. Tom." He extended his hand with a smile. You shook it and noticed his handshake firm. You stared back. Bobby peeked from behind your legs at Tom, guilty. "He likes you."

"My friends call me the Dog Whisperer."

"Perhaps I can hire you to train this one?" He gestured at Bobby with a smile.

"I don't know." you smirked. "My prices are steep."

"Which are?" He quirked an eyebrow.

You pursed your lips in mock contemplation. "A walk in the park and a cup of coffee."

Tom hissed in air through his teeth. "You're right. Those are steep prices. But you know, I am willing to pay it."

Your eyes widened. "Um... sure... when would you like to..."

"How about right now? But I have to check with Bobby first." Tom kneeled down. "What do you say Bobby, can I tag along on your date with this lovely woman?"

Bobby barked and moved to Tom's side. You chuckled.

"Well how can I say no to two such charming gentleman?" You grabbed Bobby's leash and took off down the path next to Tom, whose face you couldn't quite place.
