Moscow's homeless dogs

There are thousands.  I saw two lounging about outside the station the day I arrived.  Another, a tired looking female, was resting outside the National Hotel one day.  I have been carrying leftover breakfast bars from the GTR to donate to a hungry canine soul.  But they move fast.  Yesterday, big parade day, I saw quite a few on the trot.  Nipping behind police lines, crossing roads closed to everyone else.  Quintessential street smart.   One had a fast trotting pup in tow.  Running up alleys and around corners.  They are a generic dark blond, kind of cross between a lab and a German shepherd, trim with long legs.  according to the Financial Times they take the Metro.  Since I was too lazy to figure out the Cyrillic Metro stops I did not see that first hand - but it makes a good story.
