A big black dog

[paulhope]

I just saw a big black dog with a leash that nobody was holding attached to its collar. It had held the base of the leash in its teeth, and was grunting and snarling and jumping around in circles as it whipped the other end of the leash around in mid-air. I couldn't tell if it was choking itself on it's own leash and trying to kill the offensive animal, or whether it was ecstatic in it's ability to shake the leash around, or what...

...but I thought it probably would make a good metaphor for something.
