On the street where I live: Canine reflections 4.0
Spoiler alert! This blog is co-written with my humans though the opinions expressed, and discoveries noted are entirely my own.

Gone to the dogs? A new kind of politics
All I can say is I am glad I don’t need to greet strangers as dogs do. While on her daily promenades, our sweet and sassy Labradoodle, Juno spots potential playmates from quite a distance.
