5 Vet with pink glasses and his dog, Crocodile Dundee. This image, along with the ones of a man with his dog in Cordoba, Spain, served as the initial inspiration for this album.
6 We met the Vet at an overlook in the Nuʻuanu Pali State Wayside on the Nuuanu Pali Hwy. There is a overlook at the wayside that gives a view down a steep mountain side about 6 mi. from Honolulu (map).
7 The dog's name was Crocodile Dundee. One can see the north shore of Oahu in the far distance. This cliff is famous in Hawaiian lore as the place where one can find the bones of fighters that tried to climb the cliff in a battle many years ago. Defenders found it easy to fend off invaders trying to ascend the steep slope.

20 Owner George (as I recall), led Matilda for a shot in front of our Airstream travel trailer. He said that Matilda helps in his ministry serving troubled youth.
21 In Córdoba, Spain, this bakery hostess proudly showed us pictures of her dog. Yours truly joked with her that they looked a lot alike. Something was lost in the translation and she became upset with the comparison.

27 After leaving the bakery, we saw these men along the Río Guadalquivir. The man on the left had his dog in a basket on the front of his bike. The man on the right was trying to quit smoking and using an e-cigarette.

37 A gentleman in Honfluer, France, uses his cat to try and extract money from visitors to the town. The sign says something like, "I am alone with my grand daughter (or with my little girl). Her mother abandoned her. Help me make ends meet." (Can't tell what the red sign says.)
