gotta get that wag back

The little strip of wet sand peeking from the water was just too hard to resist, so here Sunder was at low tide staring down the pretty beach of alias island. Now this, this was like home! That realization was bittersweet. Sunder loved the memories it brought up but as he walked the pebbly beach and listened to the waves crash on the shore, his heart sank with sadness. He would never see that island again. Not it, not its culture, not his family. He would always be the only hairless dog.
But, he reminded himself, he still had his memories. In those he could go home and be happy with his family. Sunder lifted his head and tail as he rounded a bend that took him out of a cove he’d been exploring. He was only going to be sad if he let himself be sad. The first step was to look the part of happiness. The rest would follow in time.
As he stood on looking out over an unexplored beach Sunder noted the way it disappeared from view around a bend of forest. He didn’t know what was on the other side of it and there was only one way to find out. That would cheer him up. A little exploring and- his eyes lit on a pair of plovers racing away from a wave. Ah, excellent idea. That’s just what he needed! A race! Without any sort of ceremony or thought whatsoever Sunder threw back his head and howled a challenge to whoever was out there. He wanted a race.
