A spotted dog

This dog was seen in London by Jane, hanging around outside a shop (the dog, not Jane) and its stance has that mixture of curiosity and patience that I love so much in dogs, a sort of brinkmanship they do even better than children, who tend to cross thresholds the minute they're not being watched; so I wanted to share it.

It's also here to make up for the fact that I didn't get a decent photograph of any of the many dogs that contributed so much to yesterday's demonstration. Let this one be their representative.
