The golden retriever immediately heads for the gate, staring toward the driveway as if he cannot believe his favorite person has finally arrived. His whole body seems to switch into pure joy mode.
“Hi!” Grandma says as she starts walking up the steps.
By then, Wally can barely hold himself together. He jumps up against the dog gate, wagging his tail wildly and wiggling with excitement. It is the kind of greeting only a truly beloved grandma could get.
Once his mom opens the gate, Wally bolts down the stairs to greet her properly.
