Dogs walking their owners
How pleasant it is to watch these dogs walking their masters on our Seignosse beaches.
This phenomenon became even more pronounced during the covid, when a walk with a dog allowed homosapiens to legally go frolicking in the open air instead of being confined to their homes.
Dog talk
With the help of Juliette Jamona, a specialist in animal communication, we interviewed this 64-year-old Labrador retriever (in human years, of course):
“I’m tired of going up the dune, my hips can’t stand walking in the sand, but it makes him (his master) so happy to play ball with me! Sometimes he rolls around on the ground and talks to me like I’m mentally retarded, which gives him the impression that we’re accomplices, but I’m still a bit ashamed!
We also interviewed this French bulldog, who can’t stand being stuck up to his chest and prefers to go and dig up migratory bird nests at the top of the dune rather than play with his increasingly insatiable master, to such an extent that the game ends up bordering on animal abuse, explains Juliette Jamona.
An Australian Shepherd, a highly prized species among the surfing population, testifies:
“My master drags me to the beach and leaves me on the sand to surf for hours. The salt irritates my paws and I get bored. So I spend my time barking at the surf instructors, who think I want to play with them, but it’s just to stop them explaining things to their pupils. I can also urinate on a beach bag, which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
Towards an independent Canidefornia
The canine population in Seignosse will soon exceed the number of year-round human inhabitants, so Poulevorde, a Griffon Bruxellois by trade, is planning to run in the next municipal elections.
Even Jack’s Burger, the famous Landaise chain, has changed its slogan from “Bienvenue en Landifornia” to “Bienvenue en Canidéfornia” .
