Big, white, fluffy...dog?

Daddy, Legend and I are out for a walk in the slush and the dark. We meet a woman walking her huge, fluffy, white dog. Legend and Daddy are equally excited to see the beautiful dog and the dog and lady seem happy for the visit too. There is something about people walking their dogs or toddlers; it brings people together.

Daddy - "Wow. Legend, look at the big puppy dog!"

Legend - "Wow. Wanna pet it?"

The lady happily lets Legend pet her dog, and the dog is even happier. It shakes its curly, fluffy tail.

Legend - "Shake a tail! Pet tail, Daddy?" He takes Daddy's hand and makes him pet the tail.

Daddy - "What a beautiful dog. Thanks for letting us pet her."

Lady - "No problem. She loves people."

After a few minutes of pleasant chatter and dog-petting, Legend still has a burning question. 

Legend - "That polar bear? Polar Bear, Mommy?"

I did a little toddler lesson on polar bears and grizzly bears a week or so ago that I was sure was going in one ear and out the other. I guess he pays attention more than I thought, but perhaps my lesson was a bit incomplete if he thinks he can just walk up and pet a polar bear.
