Crazy Lab wants to play

While on the bookmobile yesterday, I saw this girl running after 2 dogs. One was a big black lab and the other was a small blondish terrier. They were running down the sidewalk, crossing the street. I thought the girl was crazy for walking her dogs without leashes.

Then I see her run after the lab and try to put his collar back on. Once she gets it on he takes off across the street. She gets a hold of him, then he lays down in the middle of the street and rolls over. He is having a really good time.

I went over to see if I could help, and the dogs were off and wandering again. I got a hold of the lab and tried to walk it, but he sat down and rolled over, with a "der, this is fun look" on its face. When I let go, he leapt up, and ran into the street again! And a car was coming, and he was plodding along, cause it was super fun that I was chasing him. He was within a few feet of the car, when I lunged and he took off again.

When we caught them, the girl wanted to use a cell phone. So, I ran back to the bookmobile to get the cell phone and also a bungie cord. When I got back the first thing the lab did was bound up to me and lick my face and glasses. It was sooooooooo gross. Ssomeone else had walked by and let the girl use her cell phone to call her mom to come pick her up. I tied the bungie cord to the lab's collar and that seemed to make him more manageable. I left her and the crazy dogs to be picked up and I went back to the bookmobile to clean my glasses.
