Tag der Deutschen Einheit

This special day marks the day of German Unity .Mixed weather but mainly sunny .I had ice cream with people I know .Gave the Brandenburg Gate   a miss .So why this picture for such a day . To my eyes this dog and owner are perfect together ..Portrait shots in Germany are often frowned upon .but  the owner  said of course  and we had a lovely conversation . He's German, his dog is from Croatia . Not a beggar but homeless, they were so peaceful , and quiet .and sorting out a special picnic meal together ..
