Teddy was hoovering up muffin crumbs near the CBC building when I noticed him. Who can resist a cute dog? And he’s wearing a patriotic neckerchief. Not quite the Canadian flag photo I was looking for but I can’t resist petting a dog.

I asked if I could take Teddy’s photo and his mom told me Teddy’s story. He’s a rescue dog – he was starved and abused before he was rescued. He’s very well behaved except for his obsession with food. Understandable considering his background. Besides being cute, he’s very talented; he dances, does high five, down, stay and sit. He has other things he does, but he was distracted by more muffin crumbs. I’d say he won gold.
