Dogs 1 - on a train

[andrewducker]

There's a guide dog on this train. Sitting up, paw balanced on it's charge's husband's leg, nose pointed skyward, chest exposed for idle fingers to gently scratch. There's nowhere to go on a train except for the occasional toilet break, so it's free time as far as the dog's concerned, it can stare out the window, watch the other passengers or take a nap. Every few minutes I catch it's eye as I look up and it thinks about moving over here - sometimes it takes a step before it's pulled to a stop, mostly it just looks back, seeming to consider the endless possibilities of _different_ fingers scratching it behind the ear.
