A fitness tracker screen displays activity rings, showing 1021/650 CAL, 84/30 MIN exercise, and 12/12 HRS stand. It also shows 18,953 steps, 9.24 miles distance, and recorded activities including a 1.62-mile outdoor walk and a 3.08-mile outdoor run.

A wet white dog, seen from behind, walks on a dark paved path next to green and dry grass. The dog's fur appears matted and damp, consistent with having just been in water.

My dog fell in the pond. But I did it!!
