Interesting. Today, after lunch we found a lonely dog on the sidewalk. Presumelly abandoned, we've noticed a little tag around the neck with a phone number to call when missing. So, we've prepared to do so, but the dog didn't let us near enough to see the number.
In the meantime, people gathered around worried about the presumable abandoned or missing dog. That's when the dog's owner show up leaving the Post Office and calming everyone around explaining that it was not a missing or abandoned dog. It was just waiting for him outside the building.
I found this interesting, because on these days, to care about a presumed stray dog on a street, in the middle of a city like Lisbon it something that we must praise.
And all started because one person care enough to approach the dog, and other people went along.
It only needs one person to move a community! ;-)
