The Patient Scottish Terrier


Saw this Scottie and his pal, while they were waiting for their owner outside the Slowackiego post office in Warsaw yesterday.

While his pal was a little more restless (although far from being a nuisance) the Scottie was a model of patience. 

Remember a similar episode from over 10 years ago now when me and my Polish wife, Agnieszka, saw two regal-looking Scottish terriers washing themselves while waiting for their owner outside a traditional-looking shop near the entrance to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent.

Also recall a fellow EFL teacher in Canterbury called Jan telling us that while West Highland and Cairn terriers are loyal but generally non-destructive, Scotties may be loyal but they're also well capable of ripping your furniture to pieces.  Yes, the Scotties seem to be real characters.
