Freddie

Here comes Freddie.

He's a Harlequin Great Dane.

Hip height to a short adult (me).

I was a little apprehensive.

But he was more interested in this horse than me.

We've never seen grazing horses here before

and we've never seen a Harlequin Great Dane.

We talked to his owner while he stood a little way off

surveying his surroundings.

Freddie has a tumour and has already outlived the vet's prognosis

of fifteen months survival.They decided against invasive treatment

and so he is enjoying leisurely walks in the late summer sun.

My camera had done this strange thing as he and his owner loped off.
