About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...
Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.

Fantastic photo. Great to know that Labradors are popular in Poland too.

A lovely and humorous image of the dogs and their owners.
The image is also quite symbolic of Polish Independence.
It is quite charming to see a parade of loved pets instead of a parade of Soviet troops in front of the Soviet Palace fo Culture.
If uncle Stalin had been a pet lover he might have been considered Human.
Poland should give Mr Putin a small puppy - it might just put a smile on his face.
