A couple of weeks ago I was walking in South Seattle in the Arbor Heights neighborhood, I wanted to check out Arroyo Heigths Park.

When I found the park, much to my surprise, it turned out to be a wooded bluff with no trails, so much for that.

As I walked aroud the area I met this guy, he barked at me a little then decided I was no threat.And the next thing I knew I had a walking buddy

I gave him a taste of a bagel, that was a mistake

Who could resist a face like that? He followed for quite a ways, before we got a a busy street he turned around and went home. This almost makes want to get dog, would you get a dog to go walking with ?
