"Make My Day"


Some people complain that the Beltline is a lawless place - dogs running wild, leashless and free! Nothing could be further from the truth. There are several dogs that patrol the area quite regularily. Witness Oscar, a Shnauzer, seemingly sunning himself on a nice patch of grass. However, in the close-up picture, you'll notice that Oscar is on high alert! Nose in full sniff, ears aquiver with anticipation, muscles tensed and coiled! He is ready, at a moment's notice, to spring into action and take charge of any untoward dog behaviour. Many of us have witnessed him stepping in when dog play gets too rough. With blinding speed, Oscar pins the offending dog, and holds him until a more congenial attitude is resumed. Thank-you Oscar!
