Photographer's Note
This is a stray dog that lives in my street, sometimes it ask for some bone for the butcher of my shop, sometimes it goes to the truck that remove the bones asking for one, my neighbor sometimes let a rest of food for him in the sidewalk. Dogs are needy animals and need interaction with humans and a family ahead even give it more food and it protect them, their home and house, but the animal lives in the streets, free and menaced as any other abandoned animal, facing rain and cold nights with no shelter.
Here we can see a truck driver and his helper from another city having a pause for the lunch after have bought a packed lunch in a local restaurant. The animal recognize the aluminium plate and felt the smell of the food and is waiting a chance. Ludy is its name.
................
Esse é Ludy, um cachorro vira-latas que vive em minha rua, vez em quando ele pede um osso ao açougueiro, em outros dias ele segue o rapaz que remove os ossos e que sempre lhe dá algum. Minha vizinha deixa restos na calçada para ele. Cães são muito carentes de companhia humana e uma família mais abaixo lhe dá mais comida, apesar de não pertencer a eles, mas ainda assim o animal protege os donos, seu carro e sua casa. Mas ele é um animal de rua, com liberdade para gozar a vida e riscos maiores, frio e chuva sem um abrigo.
Aqui vemos dois caminhoneiros almoçando e o cachorro ao certo reconheceu a marmita e sentiu seu cheiro e espera a chance de comer alguma coisa.

Witaj Jorge!
Next very curious reportage shot from street.
Good POV, colors and light.
I wonder if the dog got something? ;)
I like this scene from daily life.
Good morning.

Hi Jorge
A nice contrast between the large truck and the well fed men enjoying some takeaway food and the relatively small dog hopeful for some leftovers. Good sharpness and colour. Tfs!

Hello Jorge,
Is there a desire to adopt this stray dog so that it will have a home, since it seems eager to protect those who feed it?
This is a journalistic photograph recording the everyday life on the streets of your town, with a good, inferred link between the hungry dog and the feeding drivers.
This used to happen on our streets but not now. Stray dogs (quite rare) would be caught and penned, cared for and offered to people as pets.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge,
You observed this moment well and captured the dog's attention to the men in the truck. It is the kind of photo that tells a story so strongly that a note wasn't even needed. (Except because of the TE rules.)
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Jorge,
You have captured well the dog watching the men having lunch and hopefully waiting for leftovers. The point of view is showing the details of the dog and of the truck. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

HelloJorge, I wonder if the men were aware of the dog standing and waiting for a morsel of food?
The men are very intent on eating their lunch.
Excellent observation.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Jorge,
I keep being surprised with the street scenes which you manage to capture in your town. There is a strong connection here between the dog hoping for a bone or leftover food and the guys eating their lunch in the truck.
Very well spotted.
Have a great weekend,
M

Olá Jorge,
costumam ser os melhores esses cachorros, aqui em minha rua vez ou outra aparece alguns, mas não são fixos, já gatos devem ter uns 15 que as "senhoras" da rua cultivam. Chega a dar discussões no grupo da rua, uns querem envenenar, ao passo que as senhoras os tratam melhor que os filhos delas. Típico da intolerância que impera no Brasil hoje, e sobra pros pobres coitados dos gatos. Uns tempos atrás uns 10 "se suicidaram" na rua, deu até polícia, e no final pizza.
Abraço,
Lucas

Hello Jorge, I remember the stray dogs in Chile. They all looked like this one and were very patient and friendly, they have never barked and one could see them in quite large numbers everywhere. Lovely scene. It is a stray dog but has even the name. I hope you give him some bones now and then. Charming scene.
Have a nice weekend
