Sitting boldly in the driver's seat of his owner's automobile was Max, a golden retriever with an endless smile and great energy. His paws sat boldly on the driving wheel, his brilliant golden coat shining in the sunlight. Perfect picture of canine delight, his tongue, pink and joyful, lolled out of his mouth as he panted with enthusiasm. Though motionless, the car became in Max's inventive mind a vehicle of adventure.
Max took his pretend driving responsibilities seriously since he had an irresistible enthusiasm only canines had. At every imagined sound, his ears sharpened and his tail wagged with such force to generate a soft breeze inside the car. Watching from behind him, his owner found Max's committed act to be funny. The dog "navigated" through phantom traffic, sometimes twisting his head with professional accuracy to check his blind spots. His eyes gleamed with will.
Max's spontaneous driving session became a complex fantasy with imagined passengers and picturesque roads. His sporadic barking could have been his approach of welcoming other drivers or maybe expressing opinions on the traffic situation. Though basic in character, the entire picture caught the core of the unique relationship between people and their dogs, where even the most everyday events may become remarkable from a dog's happy point of view.
