Paris Dog



NAME: Unknown
LOCATION: Left Bank, Paris

In English-speaking countries, dogs go "woof woof". But in France, they say "gnaf gnaf." The yappier sound may be because the average French dog is a little smaller, and no doubt more sophisticated. This well-groomed [breed] looks completely at home in the smart surroundings of the Rue Saint-Michel, where intellectuals like Jean-Paul Sartre used to hang out. Incidentally, the internet T-shirt shop Cafepress now offers a Sartre-themed T-shirt designed to be worn by dogs. It features the slogan "Everything has been figured out, except how to live." I'm not sure if Sartre would have approved or not. If memory serves, he was an existentialist, not a surrealist.
