I was driving home from playing golf. As I crossed the train tracks I looked to the right and saw this young man with his dog. It looked to me as if he was waiting for the train. I stopped the car, opened the window and took his picture. He looked up as I took the shot and he waved to me. I pulled the car over and went over to talk to him. His dog, a border collie, was the best dog he ever had. I showed him a picture of my border collie who had died 7 years ago. They looked very similar my feelings of missing him came rushing back.
We talked for a few minutes and I showed him the picture I had taken of him and his dog. He said he didn't mind and I took down his email so that I could send him a copy. Its funny how these things just happen sometimes.

Lovely story and gorgeous photo.. one of the reasons I love photography, is a/ it get's me out of the house, and b/ I meet a lot of people at the same time~
That's a great story, it's nice you stopped to chat with him - I probably would have been too chicken (not scared, just kinda shy). Congrats on the ribbon!
