DOG DAY AFTERNOON

FWPD Sergeant Brigit

The dog days of summer were so called because the star Sirius, also known as the “Dog Star,” in the constellation Canis Major, was most visible in the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. Of course, though Megan knew this, Brigit did not and wouldn’t have given a cat’s ass about it anyway. All that mattered to Brigit was that she’d been taken for some fun playtime at the dog park, fed a nice lunch, and was now dozing peacefully in the backseat of Seth’s Nova, using Blast’s butt as a pillow.

If life never got any better than this, she’d still die a happy dog.
