I bet if you asked the dog, it would title the photo: "A dog and his man"

It would title it “ruf ruf ruf ruf ruf ruf ruf ruf”

I wish my dog would hug me like that.

I wished my cat wasn’t a complete asshole. Yet here we are.

I can't find much about these! They seem to have been digitized by Barbara Levine in 2014 and the caption seems to be correct - the internet vaguely suggests the photos are in New York's Grand Central Station, but I can't find the actual origin.

Here's a low-res montage with more and the full three from the post.

That second photo could be a character in a Don Bluth movie.

Why the long face?

Why just the second one? Contrary to popular believe, taking off glasses doesn't make you any less smart.
