The pub pup owns the bar floor. Controlling the territory amongst the patrons’ shoes. You attempt a candid photo of the pup but any attention puts him on high alert, excited to be noticed by the figures towering above him, and the moment is lost. Pup’s owner is excited that you notice his child. “Make all the photos you want! Here, let me get him to pose for you!” But you want that candid moment of pub pup resting his weary head among the patrons’ shoes. The moment is not meant to be, but pup is happy to be noticed. Let’s get another round.
