In a YouTube video, I saw a dog
excitedly leap off a boat and swim
toward a school of dolphins.

The video stopped just as the
dog reached the dolphins, so I don’t
know how they reacted to him.

From what I researched, it’s unlikely
they’d hurt him, and thank God
they weren’t sharks.

And I wondered if the dog saw a
shark in the ocean if it would
swim after him too,

or would the dog sense the
danger and his death if
he swam after the shark?

Personally, I believe the same way
he excitedly swam after the dolphins,
he’d swim after a shark.
