This guy has a Cairn Terrier (a female), a Wirehaired Dachshund and mix of Chihuahua Jack Russell. His dogs bark all the time. The worst is the Wirehaired Dachshund. Who, according to his owner, barks more than he breezes.

The Cairn Terrier is in charge. She runs the ‘zoo’. She eats first, she goes out first, she leads the walks…

I didn’t ask how he got to adopt these dogs… I know that I couldn’t survive it.

This dog kept on running and running…

I saw the owner throwing the ball and when I came back an hour forty-five minutes later, she was still throwing the ball. That’s when I started taking the photos.

I don’t know how this lady is doing it. She has 3 terriers. They are not barking. They are working and they are walking with her. They are ignoring all the other dogs around, including mine which at my side.

Usually when there is a group of terriers, they will bark and hunt any other dog that dares to walk nearby.

Scooter is a distant cousin of my dog, Dodoïte https://www.sritch.com/tag/dodoite.html. He’s a real Australian Sheppard. Mine is mostly a Basset Hound with the coat and the legs of the Australian Sheppard.

This is how dogs run. This pit bull is actually flying through the air while she’s chasing the ball.

This Bernese Mountain Dog was tied to a wooden bench. Does this look like a worried dog to you? Is this an abandoned dog like: <https://www.sritch.com/dogs/abandoned-vancouver-bc.html>? Both were at the Granville Island Public Market.

When I took this photo, I was about 2 meters or 7 ft away.

When I asked for his name, his owner said Ruby. I asked again to confirm. But when he spoke to his dog, I’m sure that he called him Rudy.

Belle, a Maltese, weights about 7 pounds. She’s tiny and fits in the front basket of this guy’s bicycle.

Belle thinks that she can rule the roost. Actually she does. She is the center of her world. She barks and people are supposed to obey…

Many people put some reflectors on their dogs, but this size?

BTW, this photograph was made around 2 pm.

Dogs don’t care about how they look. They care about how they feel and how we feel about them.

This dog, Mick (I think that’s how it’s spelled) looks like he was wet and was dried with a hair dryer so now his hair stands up straight.

When I asked what type of dog it was, the lady didn’t know, she wasn’t the owner. She’s just …

This dog makes me think of the old drunken sailor song. ‘Roll me over in the clover…’
