Dogs Across America

It seems every time we stop as a group alongside the road we collect a few dogs from neighboring houses.  They are nearly always friendly country dogs, looking for a little playtime and diversion.  We are often glad to have a reminder of some kind of life that is a little more stable than the traveling circus we are generally seen as.  Some stay as long as we are there, others come by to say hello and then head back to their home.  Either way, they seem to know we mean no harm and are there to simply eat, pass the time, shoot a little running footage and then continue on our way down the road.  They seem so interested I often interview them as well, asking them questions about the economy, the upcoming elections, and the bailout.  They are as tired of it all as we are, as one old black lab recently told me "He just wished the whole shenanigans would just stop so I can go back to chasing squirrels ."
