My dog introduced me.

Mikey is such a considerate dog.
He's always introducing me to new people.
Take our Sunday night stroll for instance.
Mikey and I were doing our evening walk.
I had the Ipod cranked up to "Rupture Nerves" when I noticed the couple I was just about to go around looking in my general direction and moving their mouths in a way that suggested speech.
I was intrigued by this and turned the Ipod off.

And then I stood on the sidewalk in front of Highland Tap chatting to Dean and Tanya from Philadelphia for the next 20 minutes or so.
Such a nice couple that I ended up trading phone numbers with them and actually calling them later to see if they had time for dinner.  They had other obligations but we chatted and exchanged texts a couple more times and I genuinely hope they stay touch.

Turns out, Welsh Warrior Dean Williams is kind of a big deal in the boxing world.

That's him on the right with Antonio Silva, a big time MMA champ, on the left.

Pretty cool.
Thanks dog!

Love this dog.

Just about 75% of the people I've met over the past few years are because someone stopped to say something kind about him or ask where he was from or just got used to seeing me walking with him everyday.
