I'm happy to see others reacting the way I did. I thought this was such a beautiful shot and a shot with emotion. I think I'll call the diner to see if he is a regular and send a pic to them. Thanks for your comments. BTW, obviously I am moved to emotion by dogs! And I love to see the devotion on both sides, as the man laid down the bedding for the dog and the dog was obviously happy with his person. At least that is the way I see it.
A fantastic idea to attempt to reach the owner! And maybe the restaurant would hang the pic too
