Bulldog in Fedora & Churchill

Church Street

As I walked to town this hot morning, I passed by this old iron dog that guards the porch of an office. I had removed my fedora to cool a bit in the shade. As I paused to admire him as I often do, I was reminded of the cigar store in town with a bulldog with a chapeau and cigar with the Union Jack background. I always associated that image with Winston Churchill whose indomitable "Bulldog" spirit was so decisive in WWII. The bulldog's face also reminds me a bit of Churchill and his character as the Nazis were to learn as he led Britain to stand firm against Hitler's Huns
