Speaker 1: Hi there! The dog park is really packed today. It seems like everyone brought their pets out to enjoy the sun.

Speaker 2: Hey! Yeah, the weather is perfect. The dogs are definitely having a blast running around.

Speaker 1: My dog is Kiba—the little brown one over there. She’s obsessed with that squirrel up in that tree.

Speaker 2: She’s so cute! Mine is Senshi, that black one playing with the other dogs over by the huge rock.

Speaker 1: Wow, she has a ton of energy! She’s fast, too. Does she usually get along well with other dogs?

Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. She’s super friendly all the time. Look! It looks like Senshi and Kiba are already becoming best friends. They're basically inseparable now.

Speaker 1: That’s adorable! They’re a great team. Oh, wait... let me check the time. It’s getting late, and I need to catch a bus.

Speaker 2: I’m actually headed out too. I’m going to the station to catch the number ten.

Speaker 1: Perfect! The Main Street station isn't far from here at all.

Speaker 2: You’re right, it’s just past the library. Since our dogs are already best friends, we might as well walk over there together!

Speaker 1: Sounds like a plan. My bus gets here at two. Let’s head out!
