Crocodile.

Walking Beano on his second walk of the day we headed up towards the big school. At one point we were overtaken by a crocodile of children from the little school, they were heading there for their swimming lessons.

I stepped to one side and shortened Beano's lead, I didn't want him to suddenly shoot across through the crocodile in search of an exciting smell.

I reassured the children and staff that Beano was friendly, at that, most of the children turned to make a fuss of him. Beano lapped up all the attention, he never jumps up at anyone apart from me but he stood there surrounded by children all of them reaching down to stroke him. He wagged his little stumpy tail, absolutely delighted with all the attention.
