The picture of a reflection in a dark coloured glassy vase with a bulbous base and long slender neck. Aspects of the surroundings are visible a a white staircase leading upwards to the left, not the right blueish light coming from veiled windows. In the middle is the photographer, their face obscured by the phone with which they are taking the picture. In their other hand they hold a lead at the end of which is a small Shih Tzu type dog looking back at them.

In a vase, darkly. Max was therapeutic at the Langham (a luxury hotel that emphasises its pet-friendliness), at an income-generating activity for the #Mayhew #TheraPaws charity. #dog

A smallish dog of Shih Tzu mixture lies on a blue-painted wooden bench between a besuited man with a gold chain of office on his chest and a smartly dressed woman with a smaller chain and pendent.

Max meets the mayor. I can’t usually post pictures of him about his therapeutic duties because of permission protocols but the mayor of Barnet and his wife, visiting the care home today, were happy to pose for publicity #TheraPaws #Mayhew #TherapyDog #dog 🐶❤️
