#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A little brown poodle in a woolly blue jumper is trotting along a riverside track.
Looking up at his daydreaming human (40s?) with total doggy adoration.
The scent of flowering magnolias wafting with wood smoke in the air.
A tiny human (2?) dressed in a purple jumpsuit is on the run!
She's headed for the muddiest of muddy puddles.
(Look at her go!)
Dad's racing behind her, a panicked look on his face.
Will he catch her in time?
WILL HE CATCH HER IN TIME?!
...
A last minute dive.
And...
SAVED!
An elderly and rather sweet round dog (King Charles Cavalier cross marshmallow?) is scampering along behind her jogging human (70s?)
Night is falling, and they might be a little slow, but they'll get there eventually!
Navigating through a lush green field.
Cows grazing in the distance.
A small human (4?) is approaching people in a cozy cafe with an EXTREMELY serious expression.
Holding his hand out to everyone he encounters.
Introducing himself with absolute gravity, saying: "How do you DO?!"
New friends thoroughly charmed.
Two men (70s?) are sitting across from each other in a cafe.
Cheerfully comparing news about their respective "dicky tickers".
Talk of stents and bypasses going on as they both tuck into chocolate brownies with signs of maximum enjoyment.
