Maybe you'll think is a little strange to see a
dog walking like this,but the idea arrived looking
at my dog.My dog is very old and we found
him last year in the country,hewas without an
eye and he could't walk,now he walks only inside
our home and I'd like to walk with him also out
so my imagination saw him floating in the air.
