Tye the dog, Market Street

On the way into town today I saw that this dog and his owner were on the corner of Kent Street and Market Street, so I stopped and gave the man five dollars. I asked the dog's name and he told me, but then when I asked him to spell it for me I could sense that he was a bit surprised. He wasn't voluble like Buddy the dog's owner had been the other day when I had spoken to him in Pitt Street Mall, so I didn't ask any more questions apart from the dog's age. Tye is six years old. I had seen Tye and his owner on Monday on Market Street. When I left him today I told him to take care and he said, "You too mate, you have a lovely day."
