You can see just about any kind of dog in the morning taking a turn or two around Winn Park. A few days back we saw a huge black dog that made us do a double take. It was a Giant Schnauzer. We know because we asked the person walking the dog. These big dogs are striking–this one had a walker (owner?) just as striking. The walker was wearing long well-groomed dreadlocks and was dressed all in black. Sights like these certainly make it worth getting up from one’s desk and putting the shoe to concrete.

In retrospect, I have seen German Shepherds, Collies, Great Danes, and amalgams of all types of dogs at this location. The big ones inspire awe and a little internal fear. (Can the leash hold the dog?) But I have to nod at the cool little ones on parade, particularly the Dachshund with two different eye colors. He seemed like pure Midtown breed to me.
