with his puppy

I saw a group of teenage boys and girls happily, rather noisily, and carefree, ambling along the street, with a tiny puppy. The youngsters guffawed when the pup had a tiny poo, they cleaned up and giggled on their way. I caught up with them round the corner, and here a portrait of one the lads, carefully looking after his new puppy.
I didn't ask to take the photo, just said "cute wee puppy!" and snapped a few frames, to the bemusement of the lad and his friends. Some times you have to be a little bold, and thought a bit odd to get photos...
