I was watching this dog from across the street while he stood patiently waiting for handouts at a food stand. A fellow had bought a sandwich and when he turned around the dog was at his feet so he lightly kicked him out of the way. The dog just seemed to tip over and landed on the street off the curb. He gradually worked his feet beneath him and gradually stood up. The dog walked down the street to where the curb was lower and then went back to his position again, patiently waiting for handouts. Getting kicked and knocked off the the curb just seemed to be a normal part of the day.
