crying wolf (or great pyrenees)

i was walking home from campus two days ago, talking to jord on the phone. up ahead of me, i saw an old man with the frluffiest gigantic white dog on a leash, walking toward me. as we got close, the man quietly said, "help." i put the phone down and asked if he needed help.

he said, "no, i was just kidding."

i patted the dog on the head. he told me it was a great pyrenees.
