A Labrador in the Medina

I passed a Moroccan man waiting on a corner this morning with a young and joyful golden Labrador, off lead, wearing a red collar. A dog in a collar is a most unusual sight, in fact, I think it is a first for me in eighteen months. I patted and chatted with the beautiful dog and it's owner. The owner spoke some English then I heard him tell the dog to "sit". I was so surprised to hear an English command given. I continued on my errand and passed them again shortly. I patted the dog some more and asked the man why the dog understood English words. He said it lived with him and a Swiss girl and that it was a clever breed of dog. Whilst it was a very very happy encounter for me I only wished the puppy was on a lead. The mayhem of the medina is no place for any dog to be off lead, no matter how clever.
