Richie and Max, by Croke Park and the Royal Canal

It's a Friday afternoon. I'm down beside the Royal Canal, taking photos of Croke Park, the Irish gaelic sports stadium. ..A bloke with a dog walks past. .."Hey mister, can you take pictures of dogs with that camera?".."Uh, yeah, I could, I suppose".."Can you take a picture of Max? He's only seven months old, and me last dog was killed by a car.".."Ah. My sister's dog was killed by a car two weeks ago. Staffy-whippet cross".."Right. Very intelligent then", taps his head, meaninfully...I get him to write down his address. Hey gets a bit confused doing it. .."Sorry man, I had a big operation on my head, and I get mixed up", takes off his baseball cap, shows me criss-cross collection of scars all over his crown and down to his chin. ..When I got Richie and max to stay still long enough, I managed to get some photos. I'm posting them to Richie. Hope he puts them on his wall..
