ndrosenOn Friday, I met someone walking a friendly dog who nuzzled me and let me pet her. Her human said that she wasn’t any particular breed, just a mutt.
Shortly after leaving Whole Foods earlier today, I spotted a white basset hound with a woman. The lady said that the dog was blind, so I could just pet her instead of getting close and talking to her. I did pet her, and told her that she was lucky to have a seeing eye human. I also said that I had a beagle growing up, and that I used to take him to where someone in the neighborhood had a fenced-in yard with a pair of bassets. A man, likely the woman’s husband, emerged from a shop; the blind basset sniffed him, attempted to jump up in enthusiasm (she wasn’t built for jumping), and then the couple and their hound went on their way.
