Out shopping...

and saw this beautiful dog waiting for his owner to return. (Had to borrow the gophers camera - he always has it, and I always seem to be without when I really need it).

What bothered me most about this large, powerful dog was the number of people (four while I was taking at the most 6 pics) who just walked up to him and petted him. Whilst I realise that if he was vicious his owner probably wouldn't have just left him sitting in a public place, I do think people should be more cautious. Particularly when he wasn't accompanied!
