Les Chiens de Paris

As I am what you might classify as a dog enthousiaste, I have been taking careful photographic note of all of the dogs -- in their myriad forms -- of Paris. Some chiens are caniches -- those lovely little poodle dogs. Some dogs just look like caniches, but they are actually bichon frises and other crazy curly-haired variations. Some dogs are tough and their owners are small and petite. Some dogs are really tough and they lounge on the sidewalk in front of a working class cafe in Montmartre with a gas mask around their neck. Perhaps this is in case of another manifestation in which the police will overreact and use tear gas ?
