Title: Until the End FADE IN: EXT. PARK - EARLY MORNING A quiet park

Title: Until the End FADE IN: EXT. PARK - EARLY MORNING A quiet park. Leaves rustle in the wind. The sun peeks through the trees. SARAH, mid-40s, jogs with her golden retriever, MAX. Max's tail wags as he trots beside her, tongue lolling out. SARAH Good boy, Max. Just a little further. Max lets out a happy bark. They reach a bench. Sarah sits, catching her breath. Max rests his head on her lap. SARAH We've been doing this for years, haven’t we? Max looks up, tail thumping. EXT. PARK - LATER Sarah tosses a ball. Max runs, but slower than before. He fetches it, panting harder than usual. He drops the ball at Sarah’s feet and lies down. Sarah kneels beside him, running her fingers through his fur. SARAH You getting tired, buddy? Max whines softly. Sarah strokes his head. INT. VETERINARY CLINIC - DAY Dr. LANE, a kind-faced vet, examines Max while Sarah watches.
