Even though the SPCA was closed on Labor Day, dogs must be walked. A
volunteer (who did not want to be named) walks “Willow” an elderly Boston
Terrier still eager to chase pigeons.
“I don’t have my own dog,” the volunteer tells me, “but I like taking care
of the older dogs because they are easier. I get my furry fix this way!”
Robert remembers cold windy days in the Mission when many of its trees
were little more than promising twigs in the ground!
Since, he fell in love with the opinionated poets, artists, and eccentrics
who enlivened the Cafe La Boheme.
He hopes that others will find some of his photos as surprising as they
are to him.
Like his hero, Chiang Yee, the author of The Silent Traveller in San
Francisco, Robert enjoys being an inconspicuous observer of the world as he discovers it.
Isn't our world interesting?

Me-thinks that very kind volunteer might be with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue – because of the yellow apron. SPCA’s also very kind volunteers wear blue aprons. The two organizations are on the same stretch of “Rescue Row”, and both have multitudes of lovely dogs that deserve forever homes- old and young (I’m partial to the senior mutts). Scroll down on Muttville’s “Volunteer” page to see photo of volunteer in signature yellow apron, with a lapful of adorable senior mutts. https://muttville.org/volunteer
