      Water Dogs and Secret Hearts

      Terri Darling

      Uh-oh, Brett thought as she stood on the broad front step of the upper North Vancouver home and rang the doorbell a third time. There were banging sounds from inside but no one coming to answer the door. It fit the phone message that had brought her here. A man needing someone to walk his dog but he didn’t even know what breed it was?

      If there was one thing she’d learned this summer, it was that you could tell a lot about a person by the relationship they had with their dog.

      You don’t even own a dog, girl. Or a man. Or a house. Or a car. What does that say about you?

      Shut up. I’m trying. The dog part anyway.

      Pudge, Mei-Mei, and Chelsea—a muscly boxer, a full-size black poodle, and tiny-but-feisty Yorkshire terrier, respectively—began to muff and whine from where she’d made them sit. She knew that they could smell the pine-scented air, the lilacs from somewhere, the earthy smells of the forest…and Brett’s discontent.

      They were also, no doubt, as impatient as Brett to see whether they’d found a fourth for Brett’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday pack this summer—it was the District limit for professional dog walkers, and a good one, she’d found—so they could head off to the Canyon where the wildness of the trails and creek let owners and dog walkers run their dogs off leash, two at a time.

      Okay, she murmured to them. Since our potential new friend is obviously shy about presenting himself, let’s play a little game. She waved a hand at the house. Here we’ve got a stone-and-green stucco concrete monster on a beautiful street, with a cracked, concrete-slab driveway, that’s cut into a steep hillside and backs onto a strip of tall-treed greenbelt. How much do you think this place costs? A million-six? Two?

      Chelsea barked twice and Brett tossed her a meaty dog treat. Two it is.

      She looked back at the house. And yes, Mei-Mei, I saw that too. Construction-paper artwork taped to that bedroom window up there. And the plastic, three-wheeler peeking out from the right side of the garage. You’re right. They’ve definitely got kids.

      She tossed a treat to the poodle.

      Brett clucked her tongue. "But they don’t have time to fix their driveway. And the man of the house who leaves a message on my service doesn’t even know what breed of dog they have. Soooo…workaholic businessman with trophy second-wife? Run-down guy in
