A difference in nose length

I had to laugh at our Labrador Slick this morning. We went out for our usual jog first thing in the morning. There is a wonderful open area in front of our house where she can just run off lead which is just ideal for a young active dog. It means that she is able to cover at least 10 times more ground than my 2 lazy legs as she zigzags after every smell.

A lady in our estate was walking her English Bulldog. Being a lazy breed, he trailed behind her reluctantly on the lead. Slick raced off to greet the owner and completely ignored the Bulldog.

She normally races off to sniff the other dog in her area, but this time it was as if she did not even see him as a dog. Even the owner commented on it and we laughed together as I called Slick away. How many  pet sitters and dog walkers have experienced this I wonder?
