According to Dave Barry, “Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard.”
For this dog, the news is all on our side of this gate. He is one of many dogs that Ivan and I encounter on our morning walks. (See Neighborhood pooch and What the dog saw for more.)
