Sometimes it’s simply amusing
I couldn’t resist taking this image. I’m often on the lookout for fanatic dog lovers here. Korea, of course, has the infamous reputation of a land that, well, you know, you’ve heard, I’m sure! So, it strikes me as curious, and amusing, when I see such affection lavished out on dogs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, and my feelings aren’t peppered with patronising, smugness at all. But frankly, I’m not even fond of smaller, doll like canines at all. So, it genuinely is amusing to see these little booties on the dog’s feet. They’re silver booties, too. It caused me to wonder for a moment: are these to keep the pups feet warm; or clean. Or, maybe it was something else entirely. Well, if I have my way, you might see more pictures of little dogs here, similarly lavished with affections, and doggie clothing.
All part of, what is for me, the curious and endearing land of contradictions, which is Korea.
