What a sweet story, thanks for letting me know about Patsy ❤️ www.traveljuneau.com/discover-jun...
I think the one behind me is of a saint being pushed off a bridge - I think he's lucky? www.pragueexperience.com/places.asp?P... - there was a bit of a queue for him, but I preferred to wait and give the good dog a pat!
The idea here is that dogs are more loyal/faithful than people, wives in particular: notice the woman in the background, busy confessing her sins. A most extraordinary knight, Gaston III, Count of Foix, claimed the same (betrayed by own son, whom he slayed). He loved his dogs and was an expert.
