Comic Relief

[On Newbury St, Boston; 5/16/10]

We see lots of cute dogs in the city all the time. Alas, this isn't one of them (kidding!). I think one of the chief reasons we keep pets is that they make us laugh - with their antics, if not for the goofy expressions on their faces. They are the element of comic relief in the drama of our lives. I no longer have a pet of my own, but I get to enjoy everyone else's - from the joyfully tussling dogs in the playground I pass in the morning on my way to work to the fashionable city dogs trotted about in the Back Bay on weekends. Some of them just beg to be photographed.
