Downtown Alpharetta, especially on Saturday mornings during the Farmers’ Market, is a veritable congregation of dogs. They arrive with their minders in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. The bigger ones tend to be quieter and mostly survey the scene with a somber look. The smaller ones tend to be packed with energy, yelping and jumping excitedly.

This picture from this morning is an epitome of those two kinds. The little one, with no regard for the size of the other one, kept up all sorts of antics to get the big dog to play with him. The big dog just kept a close watch on him – enough to acknowledge his presence – but not so much as to encourage the little one any further!

That must have been the canine version of David and Goliath!
