Seen at Kensington Market Today [Updated]

by Joey deVilla on August 25, 2008

While making a quick run to Kensington Market to get some lunch fixings, I saw this dog — I thought it was an Australian Shepherd, but it’s actually a Bernese Mountain Dog (thanks to all the commenters who straightened me out on that one!) — and had to take a picture:
