Hanging out at University Village with Mango
It was a sunlit afternoon. Smelly and i decided to make good use of this opportunity to take Mango to University Village, instead of watching The Dark Knight in IMAX.
I expected Mango to gather some attentions from passersby but i did not expect him to be attracting so many people! It was impossible to walk a few steps without having people stopped by and asked what breed Mango was, including several who inquired if Mango was an Akita or a Norwegian Elk Hound. Walking Mango by teenage girls would elicit numerous “soooooo cute” from them. We also met several people who have/had Shibas, including a lady whose 16-and-a-half-year old Shiba died not too long ago. Smelly was telling me that when the lady was patting Mango, she saw tears in her eyes.
We eventually settled down on a spot in front of the Apple Store to enjoy the last bit of evening sun.
A quiet moment from getting oooohs and aaaaahs.

Mango watch!

Two of my favorite inedible fruits – Mango and Apple!

People seem to open up to each other at the presence of dogs. I made friends with neighbors and people on the streets simply because we were walking our dogs. Even strangers are likely to smile or to say hi. It’s one of the many benefits of dog ownership.
