Early Sunday morning, along the walkway to the Ogden Point Cafe, I came across this pair.
The single leash securing both … the knit scarf … the waiting stance … the occasional bark …. reaction of other passersby … I found the whole situation absolutely charming. That would have been enough.
But then a young girl and her father came out from the cafe and the, um … more active dog let it be known that this was family.
Since I was obviously taking photos of their dogs I stated the obvious and was assured that was just fine and their names were both "Dee Dee" and "They keep each other company." When I mentioned that people had been enjoying the sight of the two pals the man said, "I'm glad they might have cheered someone up."
