Runaway

On our daily walk around the fenced woodland at home, we had let Benson off the lead.  Although 14 years old, he likes to take his freedom on occasion and absent himself for hours.  He went ahead of us and out the gate, turning up the adjacent lane towards freedom.  The surprised look on his face was upon seeing that I had crossed the barbed wire fence and stood between him and freedom. The song title 'Runaway'  (1961) came to mind!
