Dog in a Doorway

---

Over the years, I have subliminally taken photos of random dogs hanging out in doorways. I have no idea why. I'm not really a dog lover or advocate of the hairy creatures, but upon further reflection, maybe I am. Here are a few I came across.

TravelBloggers I challenge you to look back on your own travel photos, as you too may find a peculiar theme developing. In the meantime, I dedicate this blog to my own “Girls” who went to the giant dog-park-in-the-sky some time ago. No doubt they are still buried deep within my psyche...their spirits only to be vividly captured in every doorway I wander by.

Not exactly in the doorway, as he would be yelled at if he went anywhere near, so this is close enough.

This beaut was hanging out at the store, if you sit right in the middle of the doorway you get attention from everyone.

Sri Lanka Dog Stolen from a Doorway
We passed this sad little dog in a doorway and she looked so miserable, so we fed her gingernut cookies, she then decided to follow us for over 25kms. Shitting the whole way. We named her Ginger. She now lives in a friendly home.

Dogs!
My mum does the same! And my daughter when she was three and we did a trip around the world, she thought it appropriate to pinch my camera and she would take photos of lots of details of our bathrooms, very odd I thought, thank heavens for digital cameras but maybe I was just missing the point!!! Oooh and for the reccord, you should visit Chile, I remember in Santiago we would be followed by dogs but only to a certain block, it was very odd, like each dog had it's own set of blocks and was not allowed to cross into a neighbouring canine patch!!! Good thing looking at a couple of the dogs!
