This end result is exactly what is needed and you have stayed true to the cause doggedly for so long, many others would have long since given up and, still greater numbers would never have bothered or even batted an eyelid in the first place.<br /><br />Your post raises for us a wider issue in the world today which is one of so much to look at but does anyone really see any more. And, if they do happen to cast a glance in a particular direction, what exactly are they seeing or thinking? Budapest is such a glorious city in so many ways, brimming with an architectural heritage that, given the right light and mood, can actually reduce us to tears. But, we can also be driven almost to despair by the graffiti which abounds and disfigures so many public buildings, commercial outlets and private property. It is all so sad.<br /><br />So, we are delighted that you have championed the cause for these fine canines. And, three cheers too that there are bodies such as English Heritage in the UK to be their guardian angels.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-8802162264236474262015-03-03T23:31:39.296-08:002015-03-03T23:31:39.296-08:00I have visions of you doing sentry duty walking up...I have visions of you doing sentry duty walking up and down with your shotgun warding off all invaders 24 hours a day.
