My Dog Did What?



I was talking to my homies on my cell phone.  
I was at the dog park.  I got a little bit carried away.  
Perhaps I was a bit loud. 
A bunch of people were headed over to me.
"Uh, it's about your dog," said the guy in the blue parka.
"That's not my dog.  I don't own a dog," I shouted at them.

I made a bee-line for the exit, hoping my dog would meet me there.  But I ended up cornered near the poop bag dispenser.
"We've been watching you," said this like mousy chick with yellow waterproof boots.  "We're concerned."
I began to punch the digits for my lawyer into the cell phone.
"It's about your dog..."
 "What dog?"  I asked them.

They all stood there.  A dozen or more of them.   Various walks of life all unified in their shock and outrage.  All them directing their attention at me.

"Make it stop. Your dog is frightening my children!" said this tired looking lady in an unflattering grey sweatsuit.
My dog did what?  "Zoozoo," I shouted.  "CAR!  NOW!"
Our car was pelted with rocks as I skidded the tires on my way out.
"What the hell was their problem?" Zoozoo asked me later in the car on the way home."I don't know," I told her.  "It was like they had never seen a talking dog before."
