I Wonder What She's Thinking?

It`s kinda sad how we are influenced by looks. This poor dog is struggling to find someone to take him home & love him. I used to have a bulldog, & so many people shied away from him, presumably scared by his looks yet he was really soft & friendly. There are so many attractive people with little or no talent who because of their looks become "celebrities". There was a lad at school who had a hare-lip & he was abused because of it, yet he played in our local cricket team & you couldn`t wish to meet a nicer lad. What a shallow lot we humans are.Dog.PNG

We had a white boxer dog about 35 years ago, he was so protective it was unbelievable. If I spoke too sternly to our son the dog, Burt was his name, would growl quietly at me. We always had a dog before I was married and my wife's Mom had two when we moved in with her but I never knew one like this boxer. On a sunny day he would sit by the chain link fence until the woman next door gave him a dish of ice cream, if the sun was not shining he would not sit there. One day he fell down the stairs and could not get up so we picked him up in a blanket and took him to the vet we always used. He told us he thought it would be cancer so he admitted the dog and sent Xray images of the dogs spine to a specialist who said it was inoperable cancer. The cost was enormous but the pleasure Burt gave us made the cost quite acceptable. I have turned a photo of him into a X. Stitch pattern which is completed and hanging on the wall. The dog pictured above is not ours but I thought it was funny.
