Landon is the quintessential eternal optimist, always convinced things will turn out different no matter how often he tries the same thing.

We’ve all seen this before. Landon bounces over to Frankie when the big guy is serious. He is positive that this time will be different. What do you expect happens?

Frankie was headed for the deck. Time for some ear scritches with the Hu-Dad. Now how many of you think Boom Boom sulked over this rejection? And how many of you think the eternal optimist tried again?

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
