Walk The Dog

He enjoys it immensely, walking the dog. Every morning he walks a purebred saluki on a leather leash he bought in Prague years ago with a just-in-case afterthought that he would eventually pet one. In fact, anything on a leash gives him a sense of control, be it Jinkies or some guy he met online. He walks him everywhere, to the park, the gym, some cafe, Ikea, you name it. But he earned Jinkies like an expert dognapper, and that afterthought in Prague proved useful when he snuck into a yard and unwound a nylon leash off a tree. They fled together with a mutual notion that he was rescuing Jinkies from neglect while Jinkies had wished to be swept away by a devoted master.
