Our old guy Bon Ami, nearly 11years old, likes walking with our neighbor.
They are a perfect match.

In my hometown, a fellow was strolling with a similar FBI jacket, with the following (in Bologna's dialect, emiliano):

Fat
Ben
Inculer

Too bad I had no camera at hand.
I guess translation is unnecessary...

Ciao from Massimo

Actually, SIGMA fp is totally silent, and I don't really need to be brave.   8)

Catching breeze on the ridge with your ridgeback

First day of summer, last year
I understand the ridgeback is a particularly aggressive dog, this time I was a little brave... Z6 is quite silent anyway...

Whoever told you that nonsense is utterly wrong.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are known for their coolness.

Our old guy is the only dog I've known so far that can be safely left alone with toddlers.
I've been told South Africans use them as guard dogs for their children.
