Police watch dog

To Punggol, 25 km. I reach the end of Punggol Road. Five dogs lie in a row but they do not molest me. A policeman stands outside his post beside the dogs. Now, that's what I call "police watch dog". I wonder why the dogs leave me alone, since I am alone and vulnerable. And why am I alone on this Wed night ride? Because I leave the office late (as usual) and ask the Wed night riders to ride first while I catch up. As I cycle, I wonder if they are in front or behind me. As it turns out, I reach the rendesvous ahead of them. Since there is no one there, I head for home and don't even pass them on the way home. Still, it was a good ride - short and sharp. And no dogs at my tail.
