Teaser Tuesday ~ Buddy's Tail

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for un! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers

As I squinted at the brilliant landscape, I saw a figure approaching in the distance.  It was another dog, but what a dog!  A powerful German Shepherd, he flew toward me, closing the vast space between us.  I had heard about white shepherds but I had never seen one before.  His fur was so healthy and groomed it glowed in the strong light, and his strides across the sand were as effortless as the glide of a  red-tailed hawk.
