I spotted a dog sniffing along the sidewalk. It had its nose to the ground, moving from one stall to the next. People passed by, but it didn’t mind. Just focused on the smells of the market. A moment of calm in the midst of the bustle. I watched it for a while, wondering what it found so interesting. Then it moved on, tail wagging slowly.
