The Dogs in the Street II

We have been getting to know our neighbourhood dogs and have started bringing them leftovers. They are generally sweet tempered animals, surprisingly so. These two are among our favourites.

I remember watching Norman Wisdom's old films on British television. My parents were fans of his wholesome, slapstick comedy, but apparently missed the ideological significance of Pitkin's relationship with Mr Grimsdale. Pitkin, the downtrodden and oppressed representative of the workers, triumphed every time over his capitalist oppressor, Mr Grimsdale - and he got the girl. It took a theorist of Hoxha's insight and profundity to discern this deeper political message.
