We were walking calmly, the dogs sniffing the lampposts.
We were enjoying the walk and watching other dogs.
As reported: Fakta.today
Suddenly, a sober and well-dressed man approached us and began shouting:
"How many can you have! Why do you need so many dogs! People have nowhere to walk, dogs are everywhere!"
We were confused. Tom could have started barking at any moment.
But the man kept shouting and didn't give us a chance to leave.
Suddenly, Archie approached the man and pressed against him with his big head, as if to say, "Stop yelling, just pet me."
The man was taken aback, reached out his hand to the dog, and Archie gave him his paw.
Archie had developed this habit when he lived on the streets, extending his paw to passersby to get some food.
Surprised, the man stopped shouting and said, "So you're a peacemaker? Alright, go ahead."
I told my friend about it, and she replied, "Archie was obsessed with academician Sakharov.
He was convinced that it is necessary to talk to everyone."
I thought about that man all day long. Especially when I read endless debates on Facebook between people allergic to cat hair and lovers of these animals, cyclists and motorists.
I even got involved in one argument myself.
People were arguing everywhere and unwilling to listen to someone else's opinion.
And there was no Archie among them to give them a paw and ask them not to shout, because it's necessary to talk to everyone.
