Truth is Funnier Than Fiction

I was walking Nicollet Mall after I got off the 10C bus at about 5pm on Wednesday and noticed a Golden Retriever with a dead squirrel in it's mouth up ahead. The whole squirrel mind you, head, fuzzy tail, stubby legs, the whole thing. The owner had the dog on a leash and didn't seem to care. I thought this was odd so I kept looking and noticed the owner was holding something in his hand. At first glance I thought it was a camera. The owner was some artsy, weirdo, guy and was trying to get his dog to pose for a picture, and then, as I got closer, I realized it was a harness. It was the harness of a seeing eye dog and the owner was blind. Seeing eye dogs are only on duty when their harness is on, so the off duty dog must had just picked up the road kill and the owner hadn't realized it yet. THE OWNER WAS BLIND! Hilarious. Oh, life is priceless sometimes.
