Georgie and His New Friend

This is my dog Georgie. We take Georgie for his last walk at 10pm. He sleeps better and WE sleep better if George goes out right before bed. We dont always use a leash. He has leg problems and doest not walk briskly.
We can keep up with him and steer him down the sidewalk with no problems.... OR SO WE THOUGHT!Last night, during our slow, meandering walk, Georgie ran like a streak of lightning. He crossed the street, without looking both ways, to meet a new friend. The new friend hopped kinda like a bunny. The color is unmistakable.Black with a white strip down its back. A SKUNK! They met... nose to nose... and then Georgie's new friend let him have it... It was tail to nose!
