I didn’t know who this cute poodle mix belonged to but it was running about on the grass and moved closer to me and my horse. When it saw me with my camera phone pointed in its direction, it sat still and faced me. As if the dog knew it was being photographed. Then it ran off to a couple sitting on the bench 10 metres away.

I saw this dog again a few hours later at the lobby of the hotel nearby. I asked the manager, who is a friend of mine, who it belonged to and he told me it belonged to an influencer couple and his name is Mister Pancho.

I’m no longer surprised it knows what to do when it sees a camera phone.
