The Papillons

Sometimes the most extraordinary unexpected meetings takes place. This time at a busstation - Korsvägen - in Göteborg. A small papillon was freezing and searched for warmth between his owners legs. The poor dog was shaking despite the mild summer eve.

I had to ask and I did: "why does he freeze? It IS summer!"
The owner said he just had a shower and we all burst into laughter.


The Papillons was heading the same way as me and so for about thirty minutes the bigger one told me about his life. The smaller one cuddling inside the jacket to stay warm. We had that kind of deep conversation only two strangers can have. With respect and curiosity we spoke about his life, his sorrows and his problems. I learnt a lot from his story helping me solve some riddles in my life. I also learnt about a person living a completely different life than I do. Thirty minutes with a stranger. Two strangers that never will meet again.

There was an amazing love between dog and owner. I think you can see that in these pictures.
