Dog Friends in Monza Park

Today "Simply Dog" (Leif) and I went for a walk in Monza Park. This is my dog's favorite park.
The park is huge and one of the largest and most beautiful north of Milan city. In this park you will see just about every dog breed in the book. Today Leif was visited by a very pretty female German Short-Haired Pointer. He fell in love with her instantly. And, of course we do not know her name, as her owner was not accompanying her. The two dogs played and played. Lovely. The female was quite agile and fast; she would run around Leif, jump inot the air, swirl, and then gallop, or rather, fly off into the distance. Then to return again to tease Leif. Her tail was quite cute; it was white at the end. Her owner was calling and calling her with a whistle, but she acted like she heard nothing. She did not seem to care and continued flirting with Leif. The two new friend just continued playing. Finally she ran off into the distance again and never returned, her owner still blowing the whistle. I could not understand why her owner did not personally come to get the dog. Leif was quite sad when she left. However, he met numerous other dogs in the park today and it resulted in a very good day of canine socializing !
