Gentle Dog I think this dog is a mongrel dog, but I have never seen a cleaver dog like this on my many bike trips. MAP 

When I was riding my motorcycle on the gravel road in the mountain, I happened to meet this dog. I think this dog is been keeping. It is a gentle dog I like. Most kept dogs were barking to me when I was on the bike to pass through, but this dog was quite gentle to me, it was not barking to me at all, and did not even move from there at all. Only the face followed me. I can understand a heart of barking dog to noisy bike with unknown stranger. If I were a dog, I might do so like ordinary dogs. However, I have never almost seen a graceful dog like this in all my bike touring. I think it was a very clever dog.The dog seems to be kept at an only house in the mountain, and it seemed to lay down on the side of the gravel road in front of the gate of the house like this. 
   
I stopped my bike to take a picture of the dog, and walked to the dog carefully to be near there little by little. But it only was looking at me. I think nature environment also made it gentle without the collar with a leash. It is a free dog, but left from there. So I think it is a wise dog like my parakeet I kept, Taroppe. As I wrote until here. I think basically it is a bright dog, but it has a skill to recognize it is a good human or not. Human, car, or bike comes there rarely, so it might be waiting for a traveler who passes through there gently all day long. It must watch after a passing traveler's back on the bike. I left from there after getting a heart warming by the dog.
