The April Mutts Of The Month

I took the photograph above of the April Mutts of the Month in front of the Whole Foods Grocery Store in Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo) a few weeks ago. I have photographed dogs tied up in front of that store a number of times, it being a popular spot to shop for residents of the many high rise apartment buildings in the area. Whole Foods, of course, is also known as "Whole Paycheck," catering to an upscale crowd, of which LoDo has no shortage. Of course, just across the street, near the Union Station light rail stop, a group of homeless people gathers every day, waiting, I suspect, for the local shelters to open. The juxtaposition of these two groups sometimes seems surreal. Probably what these two dogs are thinking, too.
