The dangling modifier is "Running around the building, the bushes..." This means that the BUSHES are running around the building since whatever comes after the modifier is modified. However, we want the sentence to mean that the girl is running around the building, not the bushes. Therefore, we can rewrite the sentence in a way where the girl comes immediately after the modifier instead of the bushes. 

For example, "Running around the building, she was nearly blocked by the bushes." The pronoun "she" comes right after the modifier, which fixes the dangling modifier.

Hope I helped :)
- Peace, love, and happiness.
