LBass Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) I saw this photo on the news last night--from excavations in Pompeii--showing what looks like evidence of pizza in ancient Rome. I also thought I saw a hound-type dog making a move on that tray of food. I thought the dog was part of the mural and that it was delightfully hilarious. May sister, seeing the same news clip, did not see the dog. Looking at the clip today in the newspaper, I see that it's most likely just in my hound-obsessed interpretation of the adjacent rock face. What a disappointment! So, who sees a clever, naughty, hound? Note: the belief is that this a depiction of focaccia rather than actual pizza, but that wouldn't have made any difference to a determined hound. ETA: I've lost the photo here but PalmettoBug's link in the first reply shows it. Edited June 28, 2023 by LBass Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker. With loving memories of MoMo (FTH Chyna Moon), Spirit, Miles the slinky kitty (OSH), Piper "The Perfect" (Oneco Chaplin), Winston, Yoda, Hector, and Claire.

DocsDoctor Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 se non è vero, è molto ben trovato (“even if it is not true, it is a very good fabrication”). ---- Giordano Bruno, 1582 Your thread title reminded me of one of my favourite pictures - January. from the Duc de Berry's Tres Riches Heures: Your eyes will I expect go first to the white greyhound, bottom right - just about to be offered a tit bit by a page. But look above his head and what do you see? Two of the Duke's lapdogs, carrying counter surfing to a whole new level! Painted c1416; the Duke's the one in blue - and he loved his lapdogs, so quite likely they were allowed on the table! Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.
