100 Strangers : Round 5 : No. 423 : Elijah, George and Mildred

I've already introduced you two these two beautiful dogs , George and Mildred. Their human Elijah becomes my stranger number 423.

We were at Mapperley Top, having a look around the charity shops for vintage lenses.

My wife went into the Coop and I saw Elijah with his two dogs stood outside the shop, so I introduced myself and asked for a photo.

Elijah’s dogs were George and Mildred

George on the left of the frame is 8 years old and Mildred is 2 years old. 

I told George he was looking well for 8 and Mildred was very keen to say hello to me when I crouched down for a photo

They are terriers, their human told me they were Lakeland terriers

They look fabulous. Elijah was waiting for his wife to come out of the Coop,

BTW: People of a certain age will know that George and Mildred was a UK 70s sitcom !!!

BTW : For None-UK readers, The Coop is one of the world's largest consumer co-operatives, owned by more than 5 million members rather than big investors

How lovely to see a couple of Lakeland terriers - a little dog which is unfortunately on the decline , Such loveable little rogues with true terrier spirit. If you remember my "Alfie " was a Lakeland - and I still so miss him !

Great photo of this lovely trio!

A superb b&w capture of this trio. At first I thought Elijah was a marble statue with the two dogs tied to him while his human parent was at co-op. He is so tall and lean and reminds me of my grandson, Max.
