I walk around town.
A puppy I've never met before spots me 20 meters away. His attitude shifts immediately.
As I draw near, he starts to wiggle the tail like there's no tomorrow, then barks playfully, and rushes to me - a total stranger - to get pet.
Me, as the owner apologizes: "Oh, it's cool, don't worry, sir."
Me, internally weeping: "I'm still worthy!"
