This photo is proof that even a good photographer can screw up. Sorry about the focus job here! I shot the photo with one hand while my other hand fed a friendly dog I met along Napoleon Ave. I bring a bag of dog food with me every time I visit the hurricane damaged areas. I'd want someone to feed my dogs if they were lost... So I'm doing this out of respect for the lost dog and its owner. The dog was dirty and didn't have any tags. He's apparently been getting some food, but didn't turn down a handful of dog food for an afternoon snack. After eating, he walked down the sidewalk along Napoleon to another destination.
