過去にし難かった人生の局面について教えてください。

It happened in my childhood.
On Christmas Day, it is customary in Japan to eat cake with the family.
I was asked by my mother to take this cake home. I was on my way back with it when it happened.
There was one dog staring at me from a small kennel on the other side.
At the time I did not like dogs because of my experience of being chased by a dog.
My feelings were so scared that I decided to walk away from this place quickly without looking at the dog.
Somehow the dog happily approached in my direction.
My feelings became more frightened.
I stopped, scared.
The dog smelled the cake I was holding. I wanted to leave the place as soon as possible, so I left the cake there and went home.

The dog expertly put the cake in his mouth and brought it back to his cabin.
When I told the story to my family back home, they laughed.
This is a story I want to forget but cannot forget because it is a topic of conversation at family gatherings.
Dogs have a very wonderful sense of smell.
