Chopper the dog, Bay Street, Glebe

Just off Broadway in Bay Street, Glebe, you can see Chopper sitting on the pavement next to his owner, who makes drawings of cars. I was up there today and gave the man five dollars before asking if I could take a picture of his dog. He said ok. He said, "He's named Chopper because when he was born his ear was in-turned." His mother used to lick the gammy ear, the man told me as he stroked the dog's truncated left ear. People went streaming past us on their way to and from the Broadway Shopping Centre, which is just down the road.
