This dear little dog, I met on a walkway around the lagoon in Auckland. Her owner was a bit concerned with a guy who looked as if he was shadowing her! I asked if I could take a photo and she was so grateful as she was concerned of this potential stalker! I said, follow me and we will be OK... later she got in her car and was off with a wave! I stopped to take a lovely photo of the lagoon and here comes, Red Shirt who stopped when he saw me and sat in a nearby swing and swung! Off I went but found he was right behind me! I shot off behind a bush and turned around, found a 'iPod connected" young man and said that Red Shirt was following me. He was happy to accompany me to a point where I could see Red Shirt had lost the plot! So dear little Pekinese and one camera stopped what might have been world news!
LOVE the photo, Maggiemae. But that "adventure with red shirt" is a bit scary. All I can say is that you maybe shouldn't be alone in certain areas? Or at least carry a cell phone or have some nearby place that you can go to. I am so glad that hubby is with me at times ... and in other places I feel more safe when there are alot of people around.
That's frightening, Maggiemae! What a creepy thing to happen! Great photo of this pretty dog but, be careful!!! There are way too many perverts and criminals in the world today!
@brinneydee Hi Brittany, thanks for your comment! I have found that the more I comment and remark on other's photos, the more friends you can make! You get to know each other even if hundreds of miles apart!
@darsphotos@annbo@cindymc@db4 Thanks for the care you sent me! It is so nice to have that! I did have my phone and my camera! Someone said I should have taken a photo of him but I did think that he might get mad and come at me to grab it!
@marlboromaam@karenann Karen and Mags - its nice that you are considering my safety. Thanks! I did feel I could karate him into the lake if need be but that would have spoilt my photo!
Nice shot! Did you get some pics of the red shirt guy? I would have had to, to show them to authorities. My husband usually goes with me when I go on photo shoots and sits somewhere to wait on me. I feel safe that way.
We call my Mum's spaniel Tricky Woo because he is so spoilt.
