So, what happened to the dog? Nothing. Everything. And everything in between. The dog is still out there, in every joke you tell, every rabbit hole you explore, every time you choose curiosity over certainty. You are the dog. And your tail is wagging right now, because you just learned that even a mistaken headline can lead to a moment of pure, ridiculous joy.
Go ahead. Share this with someone. Ask them: “Hey, what happened to the dog?” Watch their face light up. And then, when they’re smiling, tell them the truth: the dog is happy, the dog is you, and the adventure is just beginning. Now, go chase that squirrel of inspiration. You’ve earned it.
