One patient dog

I was leaving the grocery store the other day and came across this very patient dog.  You see this often - dogs hanging outside waiting for their owners to run some errand. His unwavering stare at the store entrance could not be broken by me taking his photo.  Total focus.   He seemed to know what the purpose of his owner's errand was - there's a pet store inside the complex so maybe he's hoping for some dog treat or food. Anyway, it struck me that there was no fear of this dog being stolen - don't see this sort of thing much in the Dallas area.  Kind of nice.
