Man on his way to walk ex-wife’s dog

I saw this man on East 35th Street yesterday.

Is that your dog on your shirt?

No, it’s my ex-wife’s old dog. He died. Now she has another dog. I walk him for her. I’m on my way to do that now.

Her name is Irene?

Yup.

Did you like Boo Boo?

Well, I like her more when she has a dog. She has a different dog now. I’m on my way to walk her dog now.

Can I take your photo?

Just the shirt. Not my face. A man has his pride.
