my father's dog used to take his girl friend ( the dog's doggie girl friend) for a walk. Penny was blind and had a bell, and he would bark outside the house for her to be let out.
walking up the street - clearly it wasnt oxford circus or they would have lasted 5 s - pavement-curb-penny-dog
the dog would use its shoulder to keep Penny walking in the curb gutter
men in smocks and straw in their mouths would gather and say - aaaah the darkter's darg is taking penny for a wark !
no I made the last bit up
