As we were walking by the Lollipop Shop in downtown Beaufort, we noticed these three cute canines. They were milling around their owner on the porch.  The local tomcat, a fixture in this corner of Beaufort came by to make it clear that this was his territory. There wasn’t any big commotion, just some hissing and growling.  The usual posturing you sometimes see between animals (and teenagers).

This photograph was taken after the showdown. As the three dogs were staring at the departing feline.
