It’s so sad how some prople keep dogs
But most people are good
When I grew up in Taipei a lot of people had dogs
They all ran around the house
Houses in those days were mostly shop houses and most had no doors locked except at night so dogs and kids would be in and out of the house all day
Most dogs didn’t go past the same street
Less they run into dogs from another street snd fights could happen
Most kids wandered around for miles as I did
I would always buy cookies for the dogs when I got some pocket money
Each row of shop houses had so many different kinds of stores many selling candy and cookies
You could buy a few pieces at a time for one nt
Or a fifty cent piece
One store had a dog that hung out just in the front of the shop all day and this time he had a visitor
A neighborhood dog was visiting him
The owner said the dog comes by everyday to hang out with his dog just like many of his friends came by too to hang out with him snd chit chat
Many small stores even had chairs for people
To sit and chat with the owner especially shops selling tea
They would come snd chit chat and drink
Tea snd buy some of the latest offerings
It was a different time ina different world
