Dear Diary:

I was in the West Village on a beautiful spring day, walking my 13-pound rescue mutt Charly and enjoying the first days of warm sun.

Coming down the block was a tall, muscular young man dressed in black leather. With him was an equally muscular big dog of unknown breed, also decked out in black leather, including a large leather collar with spikes, and on a chain link leash.

Because Charly is overly friendly with other dogs, I thought I should probably cross the street. Why risk a confrontation?

Then, just as we were about to cross the street, the man and his dog ducked into a garage.

“Phew,” I thought, as Charly and I continued down the block.

Passing the garage, I looked in and saw the young man. The dog was cowering behind him.

The young man looked at me sheepishly.

”He’s afraid of other dogs,” he said.

I just want to hug both dogs now. (If they want hugs, I mean.)

Count me among those wanting to hug both dogs, if they're happy being hugged. That young man, too. Just because they *look* like they might knock you out... :)
