As Bennett calls for one more, the dog rushes toward us, colliding with Axel’s shins, then sitting right on my toes as he glances up. Tongue wagging, eyes wide with excitement, he falls backward from craning his neck so far and knocks into me which sends me stumbling backward. I shriek in surprised laughter as I start to fall, but Axel lunges just in time and yanks me back, tumbling into his chest. I hear the camera click. And I know of all the photos Bennett took, that’s the one I’ll want.
