Dogs love me.

About a year ago I was out for a run when I heard something that sounded like a tree branch scraping along a sidewalk. I kept running, but the sound didn't go away. I glanced down at my side and screamed.
I saw this running right to the left of me.

Once I calmed down I quickly realized this dog was not chasing me; rather it just seemed to want to run with me. I shouted "go home" at him (her?) and it scampered off in the direction it came from.

Yesterday THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED.

Although this time when I looked down this was following me....

Needless to say I didn't scream this time.
