Jean Cocteau (famous French poet, designer, and filmmaker) said, “In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.” This dog may qualify... This dog was sitting on a box next to Notre-Dame; and a hat sitting on the sidewalk in front of him included a hand-written sign saying ‘Photos – 1 euro.’ Believe it or not, people were dropping money into his hat! The reason I didn’t get closer was because I was afraid he’d see me taking the photo and chase me down demanding money! They’re like that, you know… PS – There was no sight of his owner. Like Victor Hugo said, "To loaf is Parisian."
