Comments on: The Dogs Of Old London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/09/19/the-dogs-of-old-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:20:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: geri caruso https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/09/19/the-dogs-of-old-london/#comment-1506459 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 14:20:22 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=70879#comment-1506459 I just love these pictures and I think Ms. Hall is wonderful. I hope she is still kicking and still collecting. Oddly I don’t own a dog or even really like them much in the flesh… but the pictures are wonderful.

Dogs are wonderful and there is so much behind their bright eyes, demonstrated in these photos from a time past.
Thanks, Molly

They still play and fetch sticks. One generation of dogs after another, just like us.

Luv.

Your lovely photo of “Our Billy and Me” inspired me to write the above haiku.
I also borrowed the photo. Hope you don’t mind.
Love your collection of Dog Photos.
Best Regards

I wonder who the ‘me’ was? She was a very sweet-looking child, though, whoever she was! Serious business, having your picture taken.

I could stare at them for hours… Man’s, woman’s and child’s best friend is the dog for sure! My best friend, my English Bull Terrier ‘Ruby’ was my saviour and sunshine through a very heart-breaking, dark time of my life, she passed away aged 6 unexpectedly and I will never get over it, I so miss her every day.
Thank you very much for collecting such wonderful and precious memorabilia for us all to see and treasure! And I particularly loved the description of “The dogs of old London” etc…it too made me cry 🙂

The dogs of old London are silent now.

this so made me cry
