Sniff and Rescue

This morning, at an hour even earlier than yesterday, I saw two dogs on the quad rink, surrounded by no one. The place was empty except for those two. A lab and a beagle, each beautiful and looking just as you'd think a pure lab or beagle should. They would run a few steps then slip, front legs leaning forward, and noses to the ground, as if they were sniffing for survivors of yesterday's tragic fall-through.
