Maggie stops traffic

Maggie (our dog) tends to attract attention in New York (perhaps as part of her repertoire of food gathering skills), and I frequently get either a smile or a "What a cute dog!" when we are walking down Broadway.  Today, however, we were coming from our walk, crossing the street, when a city bus driver stopped his bus, rolled down his window, and shouted out "What a nice dog!"   She never gets that in Vancouver.   She is going to miss New York.

Note:  I just talked to our friend Leo, who often walks his dog. Someone came up to him, admired his dog, and he was so flattered that he didn't notice that his cellphone was being stolen.
