Balto the Rat Terrier

June 4th, 2010

This handsome feller is Balto the Rat Terrier. I met him and his owner at the barber shop they operate in Boston’s South End. At first Balto wasn’t too keen on having is photo taken; in fact, there might have been some choice words for me muttered (growled) under his breath as he sought refuge in his barber’s chair. But as soon as I we stepped out of the shop and into the sunlit streets all was good, all was light. His bat ears perked and his brown eyes sparkled!

    Those eyes–what intensity you have captured. I am glad I am not a rat. Not even born in the year of the rat. Because then I would be toast. Rat toast. And nobody likes that, except maybe Balto?
